Did she seriously just put a corset on without a garment underneath the corset? That isn't how you wear a corset! Also far to much nudity. But at least both male and female characters or more or less equally objectified I guess...

What is it with French graphic novels and incest? This is the second one I've read this year that features incest in it...

Did you just mash together every European fairytale, myth, folk tale, Shakespeare play, Dickens, Defoe, and Jim Henson into a generic must put proper monarch on the throne plot line? You also killed the girl's love interest simply to motivate her. And I swear these ladies don't have personalities, just being sexy and fighters. Though I actually do like some of the character designs.

I owe C.S. Lewis an apology for saying the world building in his Narnia books was to messy because Father Christmas and Dionysus were running around in Narnia. I clearly didn't know what messy world building was until I came across this volume. I wish I could read reviews of this train wreck by both Tolkien and Lewis. It would be hilarious.

What fever dream produced this mess? The art work sometimes works, but honestly it's so ornate that it's far to busy. I may try and finish this book, but honestly I don't get the appeal. Maybe it works better in the original French? But honestly this book is some feverish mash up of everything. Scrooge as one of the seven deadly sins, Oberon king of Avalon, and nothing makes any sense...

Gah! This world building is a mess! I think there are more mythologies running around than in Narnia and none of them make sense if you know anything about the actual mythologies. What is going on with Titania and Oberon, and what are they doing in some weird version of Norse mythology mashed up with Arthur and Celtic mythology and designs? The artwork is lovely though.

Because then they don't look sexy? I mean for a steampunk fantasy the artist clearly didn't research what actual corsets look like or Victorian silhouettes beyond men's clothing. I take back what I said. The men get to look attractive without having to show a ton of skin. The women are all running around in sexy Halloween costume versions of "Victorian" under garments. I don't mind that the ladies are drawn to be attractive. But Jessica Rabbit has more modesty than these ladies.
I think at this point my sadomasochistic reading habits demand I see how badly this book goes...
I wonder, why is it so hard to understand that corsets don't go on bare skin?????????????????
