![]() There are some passages, some long two-characters dialogues that are quite frankly hard to get through, but once in a while you get some interesting reflection, about faith, fear, hell and religion. It's an entertaining story, though, and it has me thinking about Dostoevsky and and Dante and a host of other things. It's going to take a little more digestion on my part to fully form an opinion on this one. ![]() The comic can get more than a bit bizarre (the giant vulva-demon running around town comes to mind), and there's some interesting analysis of the treatment of gender to be made here. As the general notes towards the end of the book, the marquis's sins become just one among many in a community where the religious establishment is torturing witnesses to root out the supposed demons lurking within them. Only the general tasked with finding and capturing the inquisitor-turned-marquis and presumed demon seems able to resist the descent into violence against others, as he attempts to approach the problem rationally and with the least faith of anyone. An inquisitor becomes a vigilante punisher of sin as gradually the town descends into a hellish, lawless chaos. Interesting graphic novel apparently set in the France of the late Middle Ages.
