Welcome to 2023! Here’s to hoping it turns out to be a good one, as years go. At any rate, we intend to do our small part by providing your usual dose of high-quality, French- and Belgian-made comic entertainment for all ages! Granted, we’re starting with a somewhat war-like January, but it’s a coincidence, we swear. Plus no one is glorifying anything here. Case in point: the third and final chapter of Berezina concludes the absolutely horrific story of Napoleon’s failed invasion of Russia, and it pulls no punches whatsoever. No light reading, this, but perhaps essential reading … Much lighter in tone is the new volume of The Bluecoats, where Sergeant Chesterfield learns how fiercely loyal our animal companions can be sometimes. A surprising discovery to someone who’s familiar with Blutch’s horse and her duty-shirking shenanigans, but it takes all sorts, even in the animal kingdom! Finally, Lonesome sees its still-nameless hero leave the wilds of Kansas for the pitfalls of civilisation, as he travels to New York City in search of the powerful men who appear to be manipulating the United States into a civil war. Answers will be provided, secrets revealed … and new, terrifying questions will be asked … January with Cinebook: ready, take aim … read! |
