review:
'Arale' by Tristan Roulot with art by Denis Rodier is a graphic novel of alternate history where Russia never ad a revolution and World War I continues.

The book starts in 1934. Russia is still fighting World War I. A group of mages led by Rasputin keeps a mortally wounded Czar alive. They must keep swapping young, healthy people in to his body to keep the illusion of his leadership alive. The latest victim is Kyril Noskov who finds himself traversing a strange land of the subconcious. Meanwhile, his wife is left to wonder where he has gone to.

I liked this story and the art. I felt a little like I got dropped in to the middle of things and had to figure out what was going on, but I still found the characters pretty interesting. The world and weapons were weird and I liked them.

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.
