review:
'Malaterre Part 2' with art and story by Pierre-Henry Gomont finishes the story of a crazed father who wants to leave his children a legacy at the expense of the children.

Gabriel is trying to make Malaterre work, but he is clueless. His children, unsupervised and left to fend for themselves, are making risky choices. This ends with Gabriel having to move back in with the children and working Malaterre remotely. Things go from bad to worse, and soon the children are left with an inheritance they don't want, and a huge load of debt. Gabriel's gift to his children was no gift after all.

The story is a downward spiral, but I liked it. I also liked the artwork, with Gabriel's cigarettes looking like plumes of fire as he puffed them furiously. I think both volumes need to be read together to really appreciate this story of madness in the jungle.

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.
