My comics readings at the end of October 2021

Here are my comic book readings for the end of October.

Attack on Titans T34

End of this series that my granddaughter made me discover, first by the anime. I didn’t think I would get addicted to a series whose main theme is the bloody dismemberment of humans by titans, with bloodshed at will… and yet :sweat_smile: The scenario of the last volumes was complicated, I had a bit of trouble to follow, but I enjoyed it until the end. The end is both joyful and dark, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

The 5 Lands T1

I only knew this series by its covers which reminded me of the universe of anthropomorphic animals of Blacksad. A week ago, I was still hesitating to start this series, but one of the salesmen of my favorite comic book store was promoting it to a customer, and I fell for it 🙂 I liked the story, dark and complex, but I had a hard time getting into it, because I find that all the animals of the same race are too similar! It kind of ruined the reading for me.

Mon Papa by Reiser

I found this copy for 2 € at Boulinier in Paris, at the same time as « On vit une époque formidable« . Reiser is a genius! His characters and the way he deals with problems of his time, the early 80’s, are timeless: everything he writes could apply to our time. It’s remarkable to find such a fine observation of France with such a deliberately « ugly » drawing. I love it!
