This is the twentieth book in the also long-running Blake and Mortimer series. Although linked with Hergé’s Tintin – the first Blake and Mortimer story appeared in the Tintin Magazine, and the comic uses a similar ligne claire style – series creator Edgar P Jacobs chose not to prevent its continuation after his death. He died in 1987, and only actually wrote and drew half a dozen of the Blake and Mortimer books. The series was restarted in the 1990s and has been going strong ever since. The Septimus Wave is a sequel to an earlier Jacobs title, The Yellow “M”, in which evil scientist Septimus brainwashes series villain Colonel Olrik into committing a series of crimes. But Septimus is now dead, and Mortimer is experimenting with Septimus’s equipment – except he’s not the only one. And there’s something else riding piggyback on Septimus’s “Mega Wave” generated by Mortimer and the others. Apparently, some of the post-Jacobs entries in the series have upset fans by being a bit too clever or something, and while The Septimus Wave is by no means the best of the new Blake and Mortimers I do like the fact they’re a bit more sophisticated than Jacobs’ own stories. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

As for Mortimer, he too is trying, albeit for more humanist reasons, to revive certain aspects of Septimus's work - to Blake's extreme concern... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I would have liked to better understand the motivations and origins of the quartet of ne'er-do-wells who precipitate the action. What is their endgame? How did they come together? These aspects aren't fleshed out.
The inevitable appearance of the ubiquitous Colonel Olrik is actually a welcome relief, and he, if nobody else, feels a little more three-dimensional than usual.
Apart from feeling somewhat lost with the details of the mcguffin, this London-based adventure was an enjoyable, if workmanlike, addition to the series - not terrible, but not of the best. ( )
