Great dramatic art, fun world, freewheeling storytelling, not deeply satisfying but entertaining and a decently quick read.

Brilliant! David B is an outstanding graphic artist to begin with, but every once in a while he gets to pair his talents up with subject matter that he really knows how to handle. He did it with Epileptic, and he's done it again with Black Paths. His evocation of the short-lived "Free State of Fiume" and the war-weary, Dada-leaning residents within the city walls is a complex tale, but this author has the chops to pull it off. His beautiful pen work and tasteful coloring is matched only by the sheer richness of his visual imagination. This is one of the world's best graphic novelist at the top of his game - absolutely great stuff.

The crowd + crowded fighting scenes were beautifully illustrated while the story was a bit melodramatic.

This is an interesting story where David B. illustrates how different groups of people aim to shape the post-war time where rules are up in the air. I really enjoy David B.'s story-telling and art, and this book is another amazing work.
