A fascinating and disturbing story. Kate Beaton’s Ducks is remarkable in many ways. The story of her two years in the oil camps is just a must read.

It tackles major issues in modern societies without ever going the fast and easy way. It shows things as they are, as they happen, as they are ignored by most of us.

From sexual assault to climate change, many “uneasy” topics are in this superb book. It should be read, I’d put it as mandatory reading in high school. Beaton is a great writer and artist and her story deserves to be read and talked about.

A good ressource for French uniforms, even though the print quality is average. The explanations are well written and interesting though.

Beautiful artwork by Sorrentino and an interesting premise. It’s not perfectly executed though, and I feel like the plot could have been more interesting. Yet, an interesting take on Batman/Bruce Wayne, certainly in line with the movie “The Batman”.

A good companion story to Ender’s Game. Bean is definitely an interesting character. The story reads very well and is well paced. I quite enjoyed it and am looking forward to read the next book in the series.
