Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to up my review game over at Cinema Sentries. I seem to not be writing as much strictly for the blog, so this seems like a good way to keep me in the game. As part of that, I’ve been dipping my toes into other media. CS has a relationship with Fantagraphics, a comics company that puts out a lot of independent stuff. That mostly means books by folks I’ve never heard of, and lots of kind of weird stuff.

I’m not opposed to any of that, but in the past, I’ve been a little reluctant to dive right in because I don’t write a lot of book reviews, and writing about comics is a little bit different. I actually was aware of this one, as my wife is a French nerd and she knows a lot about French books, movies, and culture. They actually made a movie about Adèle Blanc-Sec a few years ago, and I’ve seen it. So grabbing this comic was a no-brainer.

And I quite liked it, and now you can read my review.
