Metal Hurlant Chronicles

2012–2014 · 2 seasons

A punchy, grim sci-fi anthology of self-contained planetary tales, each a short, sharp shock linked only by a wandering asteroid.

Overview: Metal Hurlant Chronicles is inspired by the popular comics anthology Métal Hurlant, which in turn inspired the well known fantasy magazine Heavy Metal. Each episode takes place on a different planet - fantastical in its own way - with the common thread between stories being a traveling asteroid that impacts the lives of all it encounters.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, fate, violence, power
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
