[Louis Riel] has the thoroughness of a history book yet reads with the personalized vision of a novel.

A provisional government is formed with Riel as president; the violence simmering under the surface of events finally takes a casualty.
Praise for Louis Riel 2
If you love to read a gripping story, if you are awed by the talent of an artist, then look no further: Chester Brown's Louis Riel is comix history in the making, and with it, history never looked so good.
The Globe and Mail Book Review
[Louis Riel is] the starkly told story of a crucial figure in Canada's history—yet one whom most Americans have probably never heard of. It's a credit to Brown's plainspoken artistry and flair for narrative that it's a page-turner till the end.
The Boston Phoenix
[Louis Riel] is an ingenious comic and a major achievement.
