Love Volume 2: The Fox

Every now and then you come across something that is not easy to define yet simple in a beautifully minimalistic sense, and Love The Fox is just that. In this comic that has no written words we watch the journey of a Fox on a most important mission. Even offering that up as a description of the story does it no justice. Each panel is beautifully illustrated and shows the struggles to stay alive in a world that is full of predators and a changing environment. Ever creature fights for survival as they also attempt to look out for their own, while some take a more opportunistic approach, and others perish. The only constant feeling is that of a looming urgency for the Fox, and wanting her to get to where ever she needed to be.

Simply put, this is a beautiful graphic novel that is sure to be a great addition to anyone that purchases it. Frederic Brremaud, and Federico Bertolucci have created a story that will be timeless without having a single word spoken. Much like how when I was little my favorite comic book was Gon; this has already become one of my new favorites due to the simple charm of the art and story.
