In 2019, French publisher Cornelius began publishing a new graphic novel series by Black Hole creator Charles Burns called Dédales. named after Daedelus, the father of Icarus. I think I picked up my copies in Gosh Comics, translated into French. Because that's what it was. They published a second volume in 2021 and a third volume in 2023. but until now, there were no versions in English, that the book had originally been written in. But that changes in September as Pantheon Books will be publishing the series as Final Cut. But it does mean that Bleeding Cool has a lot of artwork from the book to show off… even if it's still in the "original" French.

As a child, Brian and his friend Jimmy would make sci-fi films in their yards, convincing their friends to star as victims of grisly murders, smearing lipstick on the "bodies" to simulate blood. Now a talented artist and aspiring filmmaker, Brian, along with Jimmy, Jimmy's friend Tina, and Laurie-his reluctant muse-sets off to a remote cabin in the woods with an old 8 millimeter camera to make a true sci-fi horror movie, an homage to Brian's favorite movie: Invasion of the Body Snatchers. But as Brian's affections for Laurie go seemingly unreciprocated, Brian writes and draws himself into a fantasy where she is the girl of his dreams, his damsel in distress, and his savior wrapped into one. Rife with references to classic sci-fi and horror movies and filled with panels of stunning depictions of nature, film and the surreal, Burns blurs the line between Brian's dreams and reality, imagination and perception. A master of the form at his finest, Final Cut is an astonishing look at what it means to truly express oneself through art. In Shops: Sep 25, 2024
