A review by hollowspine
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, Volume 2: The Mad Scientist / Mummies on Parade by Jacques Tardi

3.0

A mish mash of pulpy goodness, odd situations, absurd costumes, plot twists that baffle and bizarre beasts populate the pages.

Although I was often confused about the train of events, who was allied with whom, who was betraying whom and in general what the heck was going on I did enjoy this unique comic.

Adele herself is a heroine whom I can get behind, facing danger with only the twitch of an eyebrow and never playing the damsel in distress.
