review:
'Ira Dei 1: The Gold of the Qaids' by Vincent Brugeas with art by tonan Toulhoat is a graphic novel of adventure during the Byzantine era.
The story starts with a Norman named Tancred landing on a beach in Sicily. Tensions build with the locals and are exacerbated by a monk who calls him by another name. Tancred's motives are not known to those he meets.
It's a period of history I'm less familiar with, and this story just kind of launches right in. I'd have appreciated a bit more backstory, but that could be just me. The artwork is pretty standard action style, just like the plot.
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.
