review 1: Tardi's war of the Trench's pulls no punches. The gruesome depictions of war in this series of stories is unrelaenting and present a dark dystopian picture of war that holds all parties responsible for human atrocity and depictts all nations involved as selfish and callous. The brutal depictions of war in this work are graphic and present some of Tardi's most unfliching and best imagery. This is in my opinion Tardi's most powerful work and a most read despite its dark content.
review 2: This book, it was something. We were given this book as a novel study and I think that this book is one of the best at providing completing immersion into the dark and treacherous atmosphere of war. Most people would pick this book just because it is a graphic novel and "It is e... moreasier to read". But, this book is much more than that it is not a comic that uses pictures to show the abilities of superman, it is to show us the facial expressions and type of scenery in the book. The artwork in this book makes the entire topic of war seem fanatical as if war was just a nightmare a child a had. As the dialogue goes in this book it is really intuitive as it lets you easily imagine the type of tone and attitude the characters had whether it was agony or fear, anger or depression you would always feel the need to just join in the conversation as if the characters are in the same room as you. One example of this would be when **Spoilers** the french soldiers were being mowed down by the germans gattling guns they would use "Inappropriate Language" Such as "Fuck" or maybe even "Shit" which I don't even believe are inappropriate words. I think this way because in that situation where death is an inch away there wont be a teacher scolding you and your fear would take over. less
