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.

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.

Beautiful art and colors, both inspired by European comics, particularly [a:Mœbius|5449827|Mœbius|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1327598149p2/5449827.jpg] though I'm also reminded of [a:Frederik Peeters|658304|Frederik Peeters|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1241621054p2/658304.jpg]. The story, though, is not quite for me. It is ultra-violent, full of revenge, and covered too much ground too fast for me. Glad I read it, but I don't need a sequel.

Very interesting book. I finished and immediately wanted to start over and try to make sense of everything I had just read. The art is unique and gorgeously detailed - the whole thing really reminded me of We Stand on Guard but with more mythos, more super powers. I wonder about the author's connection with First Nations people. All that being said this was interesting and kept me reading. I'll definitely read more, because I want to find out what's next for Little Bird.

Visually stunning and narratively cliché, Little Bird tells a post-apocalyptic tale of resistance and revolution—with a few brief nods to the history and present conditions of Canada’s indigenous population. But as the book builds toward a conclusion, it ends up instead retelling an increasingly muddled version of Star Wars. If not for the beautiful art and action sequences, there would be few reasons to recommend the book.

The art is gorgeous, but the story is weird. I think it’s a religious war between Catholics and Northern Canadians. I wasn’t aware that Northern Canada was a religion. The religion bit turns me off. For most of it, I didn’t know what was happening. It was just starting to make a little sense and it ended. Don’t think I’m hooked enough to seek out future issues.
