I liked it. I feel like it's hard to say more because it's a linear narrative spread across three volumes, but I'm glad I have the next out from the library already.
The idea of addressing the difficulty of being an artist or editor of a manga in the medium of manga manages to be fresh, even though examples of the parallel idea of novels about people in the literary/publishing world are certainly plentiful.

An excellent, effective conclusion to a great series. Brubaker never ceases to amaze me. This story was good, but nothing too special until this volume. It gets absolutely bonkers, but still feels like it is exactly the way the story was meant to unfold, if that makes sense. The artists really get a chance to flex as well.

It's always a good time when she naps and I read.

It‘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.

A 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. 🛸🚀👨‍🚀🤖👽

111/150 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 ⬇️

What an amazing story and a wonderful ending to a great trilogy!

Enjoy!

This 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!
