Woah this comic is so brilliant and so few people have read it. This must change.

This is a beautiful collection of Inuit comics compiled by Nicholas Burns. Featuring Michael Arvaarluk Kusugak, Jose Kusugak, Germaine Arnaktauyok and more, this is such a wonderful collaborative effort between Inuit artists and writers.

I loved that this collection had such a wide array of stories. Kiviuq vs. Big Bee was one of my favourites. The art style was like nothing I'd ever seen before. On Waiting was beautiful and poignant and so simple -- the words were so sparse but that sparseness really helped to capture the environment. Blizzard house was huge and emotional in its scope -- a little like the pulp comics of old, but it touched on some hugely poignant issues. (tw: domestic violence)

This collection was lyrical and lovely and just something totally unexpected. I feel like the variety of the stories really helped to capture the diversity and difference in the lives of Inuit peoples.

This was such a good read. ( )
