He/Him. A wandering Spanish physicist who reads too much of everything that is not related to my work. I enjoy reading books (mostly #SciFi, #fantasy or #mystery), comics (mainly #EuropeanBD but I just devour anything that looks interesting to me) and from time to time #TTRPG manuals, #nonfiction (#physics and #anarchism) and whatever else I find that might be cool. Glad to join Bookwyrm and I'm loooking forward to see what everyone is reading!

As a disclaimer, I have to say that I am a quantum physicist and I know about the topic quite a lot, so some parts of the comic that I believe common knowledge, might not be so. With that out of the way, I will move on to the review per se.
This is a lovely comic where we follow the journey of the lookalike of a certain franco-belgian pair of reporter and dog through the Quantum Lands. It is quite a delight to read, as everyone that decided to venture those territories has suffered the same bewilderement and frustations as our host, Bob.
Without going into many spoilers, Bob meets a great number of important physicists and they offer they guide as they journey together through the Quantum Lands and unravel its mysteries.
Sometimes it does delve into some esoteric and hard to understand topics, but I can say …

Sometimes it does delve into some esoteric and hard to understand topics, but I can say that this comic is one of the gentlest approaches to the topics that I have seen.
I highly recommend this book to anyone with some interest in quantum physics.

It's actually the English version, hahaha.
Recently I have been rereading the rest of the Usagi Yojimbo volumes and I can say that they only improve as the series progresses (and they were already quite good since the beginning). Stan Sakai's work is impeccable and his sense of the narrative is excellent.
I do not want to go into details on this volume, but I will just say that on some of the stories the focus is shifted from Usagi into other characters and... they are great. It feels like a completely different style while also retaining Sakai's usual technique, polish and care.
I am looking forward very much to the next one!

First off, a disclaimer, I have read the previous edition of this book some 10 years ago, give or take and I found it "okay". I've forgotten almost everything about the plot and characters and also the tricks involved.
So, now that I've re-read it I can say that, while I still dislike some of the characters and specially the narrator, but the pacing, twists and overall plot and solutions are quite original and well along the lines of NisiOisiN's usual writing. I am quite excited about the sequels so I might read them sooner rather than later.
