[Marquise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting premise to tell the Gallic Wars from the perspective of the Celts who fought Julius Caesar, as a way to counter the account he himself wrote of his exploits in Gaul, for the greater glory of Caius, of Julius and of Caesar.

I do wish there was less titillation and shock value storytelling here. It's just unbelievable how many of these old graphic novels (and some not so old) deal with women: they're brutalised oh so casually, like someone who squishes a fly, as a plot device.
