Little Bird is awesome

Perfect comic book, and perfect condition. Little Bird is an amazing, engrossing story and it will capture your attention completely. The art is unique and is extremely well done. Fun to read, fun to look at, fun to hold the hardcover edition.

Beautiful and epic

Illustration and story are amazing. Characters are compelling. Won’t go wrong picking this up.

Be transported.

This is a unique experience. It captivated me quickly, the world-building unfolding until I felt transported to this strange world. It's definitely a comic to sit down and experience, I went in blind, just on the hype and the spare change I figured I could throw down on this title. I wasn't disappointed at all. There's hope for more stories to come at the end, but I highly recommend it to fans of fantasy and other worlds, because it nails the escapism that we crave.

Little Bird Book 1: The Fight for Elder's Hope (HC)

A terrific dystopian graphic novel. Much of the world is not given away, you pick up on things through multiple readings you didn't notice before. The story is first rate and I also loved the art, which appears to be a labour of love by the artist, letter, and colorist. It is at times brutally and graphically violent. The book does end in a satisfactory way, but I hope there will be a follow up.

An immersive, colorful and savage experience

I don't read that many action comics these days but found Little Bird on several best-of-the-year lists. I was amazed by the beautiful yet gory imagery throughout the book, Iam Bertam's pencils and inks are an outstanding tribute to Moeibus style without loosing it's own originality. Pages flow with a cinematic rythm that manages to set both a melancholic atmosphere and a dramatic fast-paced action scene. What really did it for me, and this is something the usually goes unnoticed in my case, were the colors. Matt Hollingsworth work as a colorist is mindblowing and you can even see how he gradually becomes even more fluent at his choices on the palettes he applies. By the end of the book both the linework and the colors are in full sync. The only thing that feels like it could've been fleshed out better is the story, it's intriguing enough to keep everything on the move, yet it often feels like pieces of stories we've seen before in other sci-fi works. Little Bird attempts to give the reader just enough information for him/her to speculate on the extent and history of this world but by doing that it removes the possibility of being unique, we have our epic-starter-pack complete: young warrior looking for justice, distopian future with an opressive rule, villain-hero relationships, a last group of rebels. It's not bad, on the contrary, it works, but unfortunately it could have done more to be on par with the artwork. This is still one of the most visually stunning works I've read this year and can't recommend it enough.

Wird dem Rum nicht gerecht

Flache Charaktere,schlecht etablierte Welt und es passiert kaum etwas. Wie so ein Werk mit Meisterwerken wie Monstress oder gar East of West verglichen werden kann, ist mir schleierhaft.

Agradable lectura

Un libro precioso, totalmente recomendable. Si te lo estás pensando, no lo dudes. Vale mucho la pena.

One of the best I've read in awhile!

One of the best overall graphic novels I have read recently. The illustration is superb and every panel is drawn intricately. Both the story and visual tie together and keep you engaged. Often one outshines the other. This is not the case for Little Bird. I would highly recommend this!

Bom

Livro interessante, com uma bela arte, mas o roteiro deixa um pouco a desejar

Fantastico!!!
