The Bluecoats #5

The fifth installment of Cinebook's English-language edition of The Bluecoats brings Raoul Cauvin's script and Willy Lambil's artwork together for "Rumberley," and the cover sets a lively tone right away. A chaotic street brawl erupts outside a wooden frontier building, with Union soldiers and civilians tumbling, punching, and scrambling on horseback in a wonderfully cartoonish pile-up. Lambil's expressive, kinetic style makes it immediately clear that this 2012 release delivers the same blend of humor and Civil War-era adventure that makes this Belgian series such an entertaining read.
