Das Künstlerduo Alessandro Barbucci und Barbara Canepa hat, nicht zuletzt als Akt künstlerischer Rückbesinnung nach ihren Erfahrungen in den Disney-Studios, mit Skydoll eine visionäre Reihe geschaffen, die sich binnen kürzester Zeit zu einem internationalen Bestseller entwickelte.Mit der Kurzgeschichtensammlung Skydoll Collection hielt das Skydoll-Universum bereits Einzug ins Splitterprogramm. Nun folgt die berühmte Hauptserie rund um die attraktive Androidin Noa, die sich dem strengen Arbeitspensum ihres Besitzers Gott, einem Astrowaschanlagenbesitzer, entzieht, die Flucht nach vorn antritt - und direkt in einen Konflikt von intergalaktischem Ausmaß in einer irrsinnigen, bizarr-barocken Cyberpunk-Welt voller Insignien der Pop-Art, der Digitalen Kunst, Mythologie und Popkultur gerät.

Noa, the synthetic doll with mysterious abilities, arrives on the planet Aqua with Roy and Jahu, messengers of the Papesse Ludovique. Although they have been sent to deliver a message to Gala, the leader of the planet, Noa hopes Gala can provide answers to questions about Noa's origins. Meanwhile, in the Yellow City, Ludovique is again attacked by Agape's faithful followers. The success of the Aqua mission is essential to reinforce Ludovique’s position as religious leader. But when Noa is around, events always take an unexpected turn.

As power-hungry Papess Ludovique seeks more control over the citizens of Papathéa, those who still honor the memory of the outcast ruler Agape rise up in protest. Noa the Sky Doll finds herself in the middle of a Holy War, and quickly becomes swept up in it as rumors of her true powers spread across the planet. Roy and Jahu do their best to protect her, but as Noa soon discovers, one cannot escape one's destiny.
