so-soIt‘s hard to know how to rate this as it‘s like walking in at the middle of an epic movie.
Incal the comic series is a later continuation of a rather big deal, a French graphic novel series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky & illustrated by Mœbius.
Are you into *Dune*? Well Incal‘s artwork is that conceived for the abandoned film project *Dune* directed by Jodorowsky.
A bit of gore here. Also a character that‘s becoming crocodilian.
pickA visual comprehensive coverage of how the science fiction genre was begun, who the major figures are, where it seems going.
This doesn‘t only name-check the books but the graphics, the manga, the films and tv shows.
A smorgasbord in other words. I wouldn‘t say this is a volume you can just breeze through; write down the names and recommendations as you go. 🛸🚀👨🚀🤖👽
pick111/150 This is one of the weirder graphic novels I've read this year. Originally published in National Lampoon magazine, this is a spoof of children's comic strips. The art makes you think of Little Nemo or Little Orphan Annie, but the stories are definitely adult. Sex, drugs, nudity, perversions, violence and a dark sense of humor. Bonnie is 13 trying to understand what it means to be a teenager, as her body changes, and her much more ⬇️
pickWhat an amazing story and a wonderful ending to a great trilogy!

Enjoy!
pickThis is the third RECKLESS book I‘ve read. It‘s excellent, just like the others. I don‘t have much new to say, so I‘ll repeat myself: Ed Brubaker is the king of modern comic noir. If you enjoy dark crime fiction, this is the series and writer you want to follow. Highly recommended!
pick102/150 This looks like a murder mystery, but mostly it a slice of life story of a small neighborhood in the early 80's, all the lies, the infidelity, the drugs, the nosy neighbors, and the heart break of first love. Various POVs tell their sides of the story, both in the 80s, and then present day. The murder was kind of a red herring itself once you discover how it really happened. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫
pickAnother graphic novel down. This was a quick read about the intersection of at least 7 individuals in the 80s. Back stories for each person led us to a conclusion and to ultimately learn about “the body” in the title but also all the other bodies, of our characters. I liked the vibe, and the various points of view held my interest.
Bit of a splurge in London earlier but this is the one I‘m keen to start first.
pickThis is one of those titles where the story doesn't match the cover. There is a body, but it is not the central story. It is more of a slice of life of a small town street in 1984, and the different colorful characters. The writing reminded me of Stephen King.
