review:
'Berezina, Vol. 1: The Fire' by Frederic Richaud with art by Ivan Gil is a historical fiction graphic novel about Napoleon in Moscow.
In 1812, Napoleon decided to try to invade Russia. Three months in to the campaign is where our story starts. The troops haven't met much resistance because the Russians have been fleeing and destroying crops along the way. This means by the time Napoleon's army gets to Moscow, they are tired and starving. What they find in Moscow is an empty city, but it's not really. It's really a carefully laid trap by an enemy willing to sacrifice their own city to defeat Napoleon.
This was a boondoggle of a campaign with an opponent who used their vast land to exhaust troops. I liked this story of what happened in Moscow. The writing is good as well as the art.
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.
