review:
'Malaterre: Part 1' with script and art by Pierre-Henry Gomont is about the decadent dreams of a father who is in way over his head.

Gabriel is the kind of irresponsible main character that leads you to believe things you are reading will not end well. From his alcoholism to his philandering and bad business decisions. This is the story about his attempt to buy back a family estate called Malaterre deep in an unknown jungle. He has no business trying to manage it, and it shows. Things are made worse when he takes two of his children to a foreign country and proves he isn't much of a father, along with his other failings.

There is not a lot of happiness to be found in this story. What I felt was a sense of impending dread. I'll have to read part 2 to see how it all ends. The art is pretty good, and it's not a bad story about a person out of control.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
