The story was relatively simple, the USA has become a Christian Empire and are attempting to take over the wild-lands of Canada, with Little Bird, a wild Canadian, charged with saving the world.
However, it’s not the story that drives this dystopian graphic novel, but the art. Each illustration is a visceral, explosive scene, filled with detailed visions of post-apocalyptic gore, twisted post-human figures and body-horror.
The art direction is simply stunning, and definitely worth the read alone. It’s the art that transforms the story from something seen before to something that sticks around after you finish.

Another comic that is technically well executed but didn't really resonate with me. It's all a bit grim and violent. It's reminiscent of the Incal in many ways and their vision of a fascist theocratic America is striking.

The illustrations and colour work in this is stunning, can Matt Hollingsworth colour everything?!

like a 3.5...I really enjoyed the first half of this but found the ending to be lacking.

I adore the art in this book, and this is a wonderful story of violent struggles.... somehow fitting.

Little Bird is a beautifully drawn epic of a war between Northern Canada and the Catholics. It's bloody, fast-paced, emotional, with a predictable story line (I guessed all of the "shocking reveals" that unfolded in the story). I would recommend for those who like fantasy-dystopian-battle heavy stories.
