Absolutely loved the visual storytelling here. Great action and comedic timing.

A love a good caper and I love all things French, so this is a win-win. The Grande Odalisque is a campy, over-the-top, and fun crime caper book featuring a duo of female art thieves who are reckless in their pursuit of classical paintings in the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre. The characterization is a bit thin but you can sense that Carole and Alex have a complex relationship.

Violent, funny, fast-paced, and sexy in that very French way, this comic is a quick read for crime fans. And the art is astounding.… (more)

Storia semplice - quasi troppo, al confine con il banale - ma resa nel disegno in maniera perfetta per quel che riguarda la piscina, il nuoto, i suoi movimenti. E con un gusto cinematografico del montaggio decisamente efficace. Il resto lo fanno i toni dell'azzurro.

A meandering and low-key coming of age story is really just an adolescent male fantasy about a sexual awakening driven by a older girl. I might have gotten into it a little more, but I have no desire to see sexually explicit scenes with a 13-year-old boy and the ending just splats down with a "so that happened" c'est la vie shrug without dealing with or processing anything. And it gets even creepier with the incestual implications of the title and the imagined sibling connection suggested by a pair of otherwise unrelated miscarriages.

An aside: I'm not sure I've ever seen a longer sequence featuring a jigsaw puzzle in any graphic novel. Is it weird that watching the main characters work a puzzle for a dozen pages was my favorite part of the book? It almost makes me want to break out one of the new ones I've been neglecting down in the basement.
