Description
Is every man killed in combat reborn in the sky in the form of a star? Is seeing a bus in your dreams really a sign of impending death? In 1917, Jan Van Meer, an operative with the Allies’ intelligence services and a renowned expert on folklore, travels across Europe in search of an engineer named Hellequin, inventor of the dream cannon and barbed plant-wire now obsessed with reading the ruins of war. Van Meer’s mission: not to find Hellequin at all costs. With his trademark wit, original drawing style, and wild animation, David B. takes viewers deep into the torment of the Great War, where beliefs and superstitions inextricably mix with the horror of reality.

Personally, I didn't find that this story was for me. And even though I didn't finish reading the story ( made it about 50% of the way through ), I did scroll through to the end to look through all the illustrations. The artwork in this graphic novel was simply stunning. Full of thick lines, and bold colors, the gritty frames were what really pulled me in. I am still giving this a 4 stars because not only did I fall in love with the artwork, but because I know that others will enjoy the story... it simply wasn't my preferred genre.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!
