Heads up that there is some extra unpublished content included in the Fantagraphics 'World's greatest cartoonists' FCBD issue from 2017. I picked it up after I read the first book (and LOVED it), but I decided to hold off on reading the FCBD issue content until the second books was released, because I assumed it would be included. I went back and checked after reading Book 2, and it turns out she didn't use that content, so the FCBD issue is the only way to read it currently. The story explains how her teddy bear 'Blemmy' got its head cut off. It doesn't have any huge revelations, but it feels at least as important as half of the content in Book 2 so it's strange that it wasn't included. I wonder if she's holding on to it for a future volume?

@@forgerelli1 Yeah, I came away with a similar suspicion after reading Book 2 and having a similarly disappointed/confused reaction to the one you share in the video. After reflecting on it for a while I think Book 2 feels more like a "Book 1.5".

I have to wonder if reactions to this book would have been very different if they had managed expectations by making it clear from the outset that it doesn't wrap up the story. Framing is everything.

I don’t think anyone could fully give you an accurate interpretation of the ending as it is so vastly open to any interpretation. I saw it as Deze being responsible for much of the Anka story and Karen not wanna to face that truth in her note book. But anyone can give another interpretation easily. The whole blank spot at the ending sort of mirrors Deze with his brother and Karen doing the same to her father maybe but again the story is so frustratingly vague and the character of Karen so inconsistent with her age, nativity, intelligence etc., and the cracks in characterisation and plot really show up in book two far more than one. I felt the same at the end of book two though that it is not needed and book one as unfinished as it is, is fine on its own.

Agreed! The new title has odd associations-or bland ones-and looks ungainly on the cover mockup. (I guess I'm used to those serialized foreign editions and how well-balanced the covers appear.)

even if it would make any sense to compare silent comics to politicians it would be still not very helpful to bash all politicians in general ... and it would be quite silly - there is at least a good amount of people worth voting for, at least over here and in my opinion.
The Grip colors are amazing. The line work makes me feel queasy somehow. Some wordless comics walk the line between art books and comics. Floating World Comics (which I think of as the Earl Grey store) is filled with beautiful but oh so expensive books that seem to reflect on point artistic visions but only tangentially related to narrative.
Floating world is actually both: the örl-store and a source of constant frustration because a lot, a lot! of their books are not available over here.
...die französischen hab ich dank dir schon. Lale ist geordert und Frans Masareel ist auch bald vollständig....armes, sehr armes Portemonnaie. ....😅
Ha! die nächste Partie ist eröffnet... allerdings fürchte ich, dass mein Vorsprung gleich wieder schrumpfen wird - nachdem ich gesehen habe, dass Du zeitgleich mit meinem Kram Deine Monatsübersicht hochgeladen hast (manchmal frage ich mich wirklich, ob wir Zwillinge sind 😁)

Great vids. Been following for a while. Question (not sure if someone asked below)- the Guimenez books "Your Last Life"- been trying to find those online in an english version but can't find anything. Is that a german version only book?
Es gibt dieses Jahr (2024) eine Gallery Edition. Vielleicht auch interessant für Dich.
nicht nur vielleicht ... schon vorbestellt :)

I now own The Court of Owls. Why does the Noir series scream the theme of the story? The Black Mirror is it better in black and white, the court of owls is better in black and white and hush is better in black and white, and so on.

My technical first adventure was the disney version of Marsupalami I learned years later that Mars was a Belgian comic character like the smurfs and Tintin. got into the story and history.
I own digital copies of the early et adventures. I got into spirou and fantasio do to two of a kind a cartoon that aired on netflix.
if you’re comics of druillet is taking up space, are you giving it away??

My comments seem like they are being deleted. Just wanted to let you know Marc Bell has a new Worn Tuff Elbow coming out on Backer Kit.
probably you added some link... yt loves to eat such comments. Thanks for the heads up!
@@earlgrey862 Not even a link, just words they don't like I guess. I also found a couple of Ryan Heshka comics in the Secret Headquarters store. Pleasure Planet and Frog Wife.
@@earlgrey862 Just words they don't like, I can't figure out why they do this. There are also 2 new Ryan Heshka comics Pleasure Planet and Frog Wife. I found them at Secret Headquarters.

Druuna's art is good beyond belief, I think the plot started to get all over the place after the second issue. I just wish it wasn't that explicit so I can go over it and appreciate the art without looking at p0rn...
well for your sensible eyes (and other bodyparts): you may want to check out Serpieri's western comics... beautiful art minus almost all explicity
I never heard of Deforge before. Fascinating.
Nice review, really hyped for this
Greetings from Texas. I think it's been four years since you made the Daidalos video. At the time I was disappointed it wasn't available in English or reasonably priced in Spanish. Looking forward to it at last. I think you are correct that it's going to be the top book on people's reading list this year.
Hello, do you know the italian comics Oltretomba? they are cult comics in italy very sought after. Others include Terror, Terror Blu, Storie Blu, Storie Viola, Lucifera ecc ecc...it's a very interesting cultural phenomenon of the 70s, 80s, 90s..
just as far as the covers go... they stick in one's mind
I do really enjoy the thinner hardcovers like he did with X`d out but I will take whatever Mr. Burns will offer. Just last week I got the last signed bookplate edition of his I needed, Skin Deep with a creepy image of Dog Boy sticking his tongue into a poor girl`s mouth.
“FInal Cut” really? Why not keep the original title, even in the it’s English equivalent, instead of a bland generic one? Hope Phanteon doesn’t screw it up like in the collected version of “Black Hole”. And, yes, I also do agree this should be published in three separate volumes, with a special designed slipcase for the international market.
hmm, "final cut" is maybe not a perfect title... "daidalos" is the father of Icaros, yeah, okay... but what's the connection to the story? ... I'm a bit clueless there... but I agree nevertheless that it would be the better title - maybe just because you can't make too much or any sense out of it
Agreed! The new title has odd associations-or bland ones-and looks ungainly on the cover mockup. (I guess I'm used to those serialized foreign editions and how well-balanced the covers appear.) It echoes ‘Last Look’ and reminds me of the ‘cutting’ tendencies of that series’ female lead. It's at least nice to see it getting a hardcover treatment, with the cloth binding.
@@groove2519 Yes, but that still might not be enough. It’s not just a question of semantics but how to commercialize a graphic narrative work, call it graphic novel, comic, Bande dessinée or other. The original title is there for a reason and, I would think, not just for the French-speaking market. Generic publishers (like Pantheon) often miss the mark regarding subjects they don’t fully dominate or comprehend (like comics) and that’s what I really fear. I really hope they prove me wrong…
@@rewanji Any way to provide ‘focus group’-style feedback to Pantheon? Do you think it's at the printer yet?
The title "Final Cut" makes much more sense than the titles given to this graphic novel in Europe ("Dédales", "Daidalos", "Laberintos"), all in one way or other meaning "labyrinth". The reason for the title "Final Cut" becomes obvious when reading the final sequence of this work.
OMG! I have been waiting for this one for years! Finally it's going to be available in English as a collection. Christmas has come early for me😁🎄💝
Glad to see the CB trilogy finally published in English. And the choice for a single volume seems to be better one. Hope they include all the material (covers, endpapers and the like) and extra stuff has well. Keeping my fingers crossed for an artisan edition.
I'm actually very glad about the separation into three slim hardcovers, especially the design of the endpapers is a treat... and the division into three parts makes some sense, even though it's not essential by any means.
