Third omnibus volume covers vols. 7-9. It’s time for the Revolution. For all the build-up, it’s handled fast; one page for the Storming of Bastille, and then a jump to the execution of the king. In between, Charles-Henri Sanson is involved in developing the guillotine.

Marie-Joseph Sanson sides with the third estate, much to the fury of Charles, who banishes her from the family, and sends his brothers to kill her. They fail. But in the end, Charles too, is made to serve the people as an executioner. But his mind breaks after the death of his younger son, and his eldest son, Henri, has to take over. As the execution of the king draws near, he calls Marie back home with her child, Zéro. Marie is able to break through Charles’s depression and he’s able to handle the execution of the king, his long-time friend, in the end.

Again, an interesting volume. Mostly it’s about Marie and her child whom she’s raising genderless and forcing them to wear an iron mask. But the rest of the family features as well. The timeline is messy like always, jumping back and forth, so that it’s almost impossible to keep up what is happening. Art remains bizarre, macabre and gorgeous.

I received a free copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
