Are You Willing to Die for the Cause: Revolution in 1960s Quebec

Are You Willing to Die for the Cause: Revolution in 1960s Quebec October 1970: 15th October 1970, Ottawa enforces the War Measures Act adopted by Parliament on 22nd August 1914. The Canadian army is dispatched to Quebec to end a crisis that has been ongoing for almost a decade. I don't have many memories of that '70s year; I had just turned 7. Even less of the 10th month. For me, October '70 is a vivid image – an army jeep rolling down Masson Street. It resembled those from the American series "Commando of the Desert," which I enjoyed watching on Télé Métropole or R [...]  Read more >

OUR LITTLE SECRET

Our little secret is a rough story to read.  Not so much because of how it is written or illustrated but because of its subject and the disarming honesty showed by its writer and illustrator.  The tone of Emily Carrington's memoir is not without affinities with Paying for it, of fellow Canadian Chester Brown. It tells the (very) real story of Emily, first as a young girl and teenager, then, later, a woman, and how the sexual abuse she was a victim of from her neighbour affected her life.  It does not have [...]  Read more >

GREAT SUMMER READ: I WAS THE CAT

The summer is nearly over but it is never really too late to enjoy a masterpiece... I WAS THE CAT is one of them. There are books that entertain, books that inform, and then there are books that transport you to an entirely different world, captivating your imagination and leaving you with a lasting sense of wonder. "I WAS the Cat" by Paul Tobin and Benjamin Dewey is undoubtedly one of the latter. With its beautifully illustrated hardcover edition, this graphic novel is a delightful masterpiece that deserv [...]  Read more >

THE FALL (LA CHUTE)

Have you noticed the surge in cultural productions dedicated to post-apocalyptic societies in recent years? These worlds depict humanity grappling with chaos, learning to reorganize amidst turmoil. There's a profusion of them, perhaps even an excess, making it hard to distinguish the substantial from the mediocre, as they often blend together by adopting similar narrative frameworks. Consider, for instance, Jaret Muralt's "La Chute," whose third installment hit bookshelves in late spring. The original work [...]  Read more >

MY STORY IS THAT OF PALESTINE

750,000 Palestinians are said to have been detained in Israeli prisons since 1967. This figure is at least what the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics claims. For the month of December 2020 alone, 4,400 Palestinians are reported to have been incarcerated, many of whom were under administrative detention. These are extrajudicial imprisonments that primarily target those who concern Israel, those whom the State believes could potentially pose threats to its security and future. Preventive imprisonments, [...]  Read more >

CAPTAIN VOODOO

The graphic novels that feature pirates are like drawn westerns, they never disappear. Despite believing that the genre is archaic, moribund, if not dead, it remains ever-present. Year after year, we find talented creators who decide to delve into it, teasing the voracious appetite of fans eager to devour the exploits of these buccaneers. And that's a good thing. In any case, it's a good thing for me. Because I admit, I always enjoy stories of sailors traversing the seven seas in search of treasures and de [...]  Read more >

Lands of Ogon

Summer is wonderful. The weather is beautiful, it's hot, and we relax. We take a break from the hustle and bustle of modern autumn, winter, and spring life. But when it comes to comics, summer is a bit of a desert. There are far fewer releases. However, it's not necessarily a bad thing as it forces us to read the ones at the bottom of our reading stack. The ones we haven't had time or the will to take a look at yet. Usually, we quickly understand why they haven't been read yet. However, sometimes we come a [...]  Read more >

Advocatus Diaboli. Turin's Shroud.

What impresses me the most about Christian Quesnel is his great ability to adapt subjects into comic books that seem impossible to ever adapt to me. Whether it's the Lac-Mégantic railway tragedy, the scripted suicide story in Quebec, or Lovecraft's Quebec City stay, Quesnel enjoys taking risks and appearing where he is least expected. His brand-new graphic novel, which is not actually new since it was a project he had completed as part of his master's degree at the Multidisciplinary Image School of the Uni [...]  Read more >

Wonder Woman Earth One Volume 2 Review

2 years after the mesmerising Wonder Woman Earth One Volume 1 graphic novel, the all-star team of Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette return with Volume 2. It was well worth the wait because as soon as you lay your eyes on the interior of the book you get the same excited feelings as the first graphic novel! It feels like a special event. Like a true middle chapter of a trilogy, this story develops characters, points out the clear path for the protagonist, and pulls back the curtain on the antagonist. Wherea [...]  Read more >

Andre The Giant: Life And Legend Review

They say never meet your heroes but what about your villains? Pulling the mask off of the villain and seeing their true self can be disappointing at times. Darth Vader isn't quite so menacing without his mask. When Freddy Kruger takes off the makeup he looks just like that wimpy alien, Willie, in V. One of entertainment's most formidable villains had no mask to pull off. Andre the Giant, one of wrestling's most famous athletes and “bad guys” to ever step in the ring. If he has no mask to pull off does he ha [...]  Read more >
