...suggested the possibility of such an enormous outburst of violence a month ago, he would have been labeled a fool, a Cassandra, or, more likely, a racist. The truly frightening thing about the current situation in France is that a fringe figure like Jean-Marie Le Pen sounds the most realistic about the extent of the problem. While de Villepin, Chirac, and even the hardheaded Sarkozy sound conciliatory, spinning the riots as a passing phenomenon, Le Pen notes that rather obvious fact that the recent riots are “just the start” of conflicts caused...

Drawn with pen and ink in an unpretentious style, the artwork mediates nicely, if unspectacularly, between realism and caricature. What it lacks in experimentation it makes up for in clarity. Robinson keeps the layouts interestingly varied but always readable, and even occasionally does some stretching with scenes like the swirling panels of characters and events that culminate the climactic chapter. In another nice graphical touch, the lettering accompanying Steve's story becomes increasingly unsteady as he descends into...
