The great Canadian graphic novel, it is an exploration of what people will put up with when they need to take care of themselves, and how others will take advantage of those because of their lack of resources.

5.0

This graphic novel was phenomenal. Really and truly bone-chilling. Beaton paints a vivid picture of the desolate landscape of oil camps in the Canadian plains. As someone who has had family in these big Canadian industries, it was an eerily familiar tale of corporations willing to feed bodies to the machine under the guise of providing economic vitality to an area and financial stability to local families. A devastating portrayal of masculinity under capitalism. Beaton’s full page spread illustrations of massive machinery evoked images of icebergs: towering, awe-inspiring, and yet somehow deeply unnerving.
