Although I really enjoyed Death of Stalin, I was disappointed with Death to the Tsar. The humor and the little character details are missing. I would have liked it to place the assassination of Grand Duke Alexandrovich into more context of the 1905 uprisings. But for such a quick read, I mostly enjoyed it.

Not my favorite. I love Russian history and this did introduce me to another big figure that I didn’t realize existed. The art wasn’t something I enjoyed. Not terrible just not for me.

A perspective I was previously less familiar with on events from around the fall of Romanovs. Hence, Grand Duke Sergei has definitely now risen to the top cast of my historical figures of interest alongside his nephew Nikolai & co.
Thierry Robin's art is pleasingly stylized, the pages well balanced and panel to panel flow immaculate. The individual panels are each gorgeous artworks in on themselves, and the masterful use of angles impeccable to fit the telling of the story with cinematic storyboard precision. Perfection.
