Short-ish Reading Wednesday
Dec. 7th, 2016 10:14 pmMarie des dragons intégrale by Ange (scenario) and Thierry Démarez (art): The titular dragons look more like the aliens from the Alien franchise, but this was still pretty enjoyable, even if I didn't like the ending that much. I did enjoy the slow creeping sense of something being wrong until we get the raving madmen endlessly reciting the names of kings of France and we're told by characters that those weren't kings of France. Surprise! This is an alternate universe (ish). I with the colouring wasn't so muddy.
Les aigles de Rome 4, by Enrico Marini (art and scenario): Well, I feel towards this one pretty much exactly like I did towards book 1, 2 & 3. To wit, that I really enjoy the art, but not the story. At least this volume had more violence and less sex so felt more balanced?I'll still probably read book 5 when it hits the library, though, because I am very weak to the combination of "enemies who like each other ", Romans getting their asses kicked and pretty art.
( More stuff I read this year and haven't talked about yet )
I have also finished my re-read of Les Quatre de Baker Street. Currently there are no coherent thoughts.
