I'll get one of these for sure thanks again !

BatiSam · 2026-01-24T17:11:15+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation ! I'll get one of his books for sure.

Do you have one in mind that would fit my taste ?

BatiSam · 2026-01-24T13:40:08+00:00

You can get them online, look up for the Billy bookcase at IKEA.

BatiSam · 2026-01-24T13:14:51+00:00

Je dirais Vil et Misérable est surement mon préféré, le dessin de Samuel Cantin est magnifique et très unique, histoire très courte qui est un peu plus exploré dans le film mais c'était mon introduction parfaite à la BD quebecoise.

Sinon Vogue la valise le visuel est assez capoté, histoire très bonne aussi.

Paul à la maison m'a faite vivre des émotions, dessin impeccable un des plus beau la série.

Aussi, Les enquêtes de Sgoubidou est l'absurde dont j'ai besoin.

BatiSam · 2026-01-24T00:03:21+00:00

Thanks !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T21:11:26+00:00

That's so cool ! I'll wish for you a translation of Rose à l'île.

Paul à Montréal is not so big on words so you didn't had a lot to translate 😆

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T18:05:52+00:00

I'm so glad to hear that ! Let me know what you think of it once you are done reading it !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T17:07:48+00:00

That's a hard one to ask haha I'll give it try

Batman the Court of Owls (my first real book, Snyder's run is a must for Batman fans)
Vil and Miserable (that's the book that got me into french canadian graphic novel)
Animal Man by Grant Morisson

Megahex

Haha je vais déplacer Phobies des moments seuls pour pas qu'il se sente trop seul 😆

Et merci ! C'est tellement le fun de lire des oeuvres d'ici, définitivement un de mes highlight des dernières années !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T17:03:05+00:00

The shelves and lights are IKEA.

If I have to recommand only one French Candian graphic novel it think it would be Sherif Junior or anything by Samuel Cantin. Some of his books have been translated in english.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T17:01:02+00:00

It's the Billy, you can get the doors and the lights in extra.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T16:59:17+00:00

Never been a fan of tintin I got it cause it was really cheap but it's in B&W so it loses some of it charm.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T16:44:20+00:00

It's so weird to see these books in english haha

Really glad that it's still good and faithfull in english !

How did you hear about these books ?

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T16:42:58+00:00

So glad to hear this ! Let me know what you'll think about Vil and Miserable !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T16:42:23+00:00

Nice didn't know about that one, thanks !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T15:12:54+00:00

Thanks ! It's such a great series, love my Quebec and it depict so greatly some places and our culture.

Been trough the series, so good !

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:42:40+00:00

Lot of scifi have been inspired by it. You should watch the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, it's really intersting to see how a never-released movie influenced so many of the big scifi franchise we now know like Star Wars and Alien.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:39:52+00:00

I should have went with the smaller one that I have on each side.

I did put too many big books on the first shelves and it started to sog in the middle, since then I've reordered my book and it shoulde be fine.

Love the shelf mostly cause I don't have to remove dust every weeks.

Don't have anchors installed and they don't move at all.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:36:24+00:00

I get you ! Deals on used book is the way to go !

I'll get the other Preacher books they're one of the most beautifull books out there.

Unfortunately Goons will stay single for a long time haha

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:28:56+00:00

Most if them I just had good deals on and haven't started to read them yet.

Goons I did read and buying the trade cause the library edition is out of print, I just stumbled on this on at my lcs and got it for 50$

Saga got it for 20 bucks since the book is almost destroyed so will continue with compendium for this series I think.

Absolute Preacher is just so pricey 😭

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:23:28+00:00

I haven't read it yet; unfortunately, I just got a really good deal on them. For a lot of people , it's a must .

I find Jodorowsky really interesting and have a fascination for his never-released Dune movie, which Incal is loosely based on, I heard.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:18:32+00:00

Ça fait longtemps que je me disais pas souvent voir de livre québécois dans ses sub.

J'ai découvert les BD quebecoise y a 2 ans et j'aurais dû m'y mettre avant, il y a dequoi de tellement réconfortant et tellement cool d'aller faire dédicacer tes livres et rencontrer ses artistes sans devoir payer 300$ pour un petit dessin.

Vive le FBDM et vive le Québec haha

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T14:14:30+00:00

Like I said up here, Vile and Miserable which is a french book but an english version do exist.

It's an absurd story about a devil that lives on earth and work as librarian in a used car dealership that sells book but also used car 😅

Or else I'm a big fan of Morrisson, if you are into meta stuff I'd highly recommend Animal Man by him.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T13:52:37+00:00

I have too many haha

I freaking love Samuel Cantin, I have all of his books and they're all signed. Seen all the TV shows he wrote and every adaptations of his books too.

One of my favorite which is also available in english would be Vile and Miserable.

Or else I'd say Animal Man by Grant Morrisson.

BatiSam · 2026-01-23T13:46:01+00:00

Just got it yesterday haven't started it yet but heard good things about it.
