Our dashing heroes meet up with the Collector again
The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 4: The Fate of All Fools - Ryan Schifrin,Richard Lee Byers

 

 

In this fourth volume of the adventures of Basil & Moebius, two adventurers, they find themselves involved along with their Mossad partner in the Collector's world. All sorts of supernatural creatures appear which our heroes have to confront, usually with violence, as they try to find their way home.

 

Colourful and well-illustrated, this works quite well and there looks as if there'll be more volumes to come.

The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 3: Secret of the Ancients
The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 3: Secret of the Ancients - Fritz Casas,Ryan Schifrin,Larry Hama,Robert C. Atkins,Glenn Fabry

Alaric Moebius and Basil is back in this the third volume of adventures. They are still bound to find artifacts to the mysterious "Collector" but are looking for a way to get out of their servitude. Now it seems like they finally will get their wish as a they are learning the origin of "the Collector", through 13 old stone discs that tell the history of the Ancients, a mythological race of godlike creatures that once was worshiped on earth.  

 

It was quite nice to once again to be reacquainted with Alaric Moebius and Basil. But, even though I enjoy reading these kinds of adventures graphic novel do I prefer a more serious note. The banter between Moebius and Basil and the humorous tone with women they meet etc. just doesn't always appeal to me. It can be too much. I found I grew a bit impatient with the story. 

 

Still, it nice to read something action-filled once in a while. And, I did enjoy learning more about the Collector. And, I loved that we get to met Basil's mother. Even though I didn't always like the humor did I enjoy the humorous part with her. I will say that the last 1/3 of the book was my favorite part with Moebius and Basil realizing that they may have done a big mistake. And, despite the ending have I a feeling that they are not really off the hook yet!

 

The art is ok, I can't say I love it. It's nothing that really takes my breath away when I read it. But, I don't dislike it, it suits this kind of story.  

 

I want to thank the publisher that provided me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review.

The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 2 by Ryan Schifrin
The Adventures of Basil and Moebius Volume 2: The Shadow Gambit - Ryan Schifrin,Larry Hama,Robert C. Atkins

The Collector commands Moebius and Fox to find a mysterious weapon that was smuggled out of Germany after WWII and then disappeared.


It's good to once again read a Moebius and Fox adventure, but I wasn't so taken in by the story even though it was a nice change to read a graphic novel instead of a book. It was a lot of action and around the world hunt and the art was good and the ending promised an interesting continuation. But I felt that it lacked something extra to make it really, really good. Perhaps the whole evil nazi thing is getting a bit old to read about. Feels a bit been there done that. Perhaps some more unusual enemies in the future...

 

I received this copy from the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review! Thank you!
