Two female, high end art thieves rob paintings from famous museums. Alex is the impulsive, unreliable one. Carole is always in control, bailing Alex out of trouble. When their next job is a heist at the Louvre, they bring in a third girl, Sam. Their's little characterization here. It's all nonstop action. The art is very sketchy and ill defined but the artist knows how to make action flow on the page which makes up for the lack of detail.

This was a fun read, even if the characters seemed a little flat and one-dimentional. Nevertheless, I am glad I read it.

I had a bit of a hard time finishing this one... It didn't excite me at all, and I found myself rushing to get to the end. However, I did enjoy the artwork, and found the drab color selection worked perfectly with the story. The artwork was done beautifully, and I would love to see more of this style.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

If you read enough comic books you'll finally read a comic caper.
This is the story of two high class and proficient art thieves and all the action segments where they are about their robbing are first class and larger than life.
The key to this story is one of relationships. One-character remarks it isn't so much what you do in life that matter but rather who you do it with. This is a fine ethos; it is a pity that their relationship is based on the high jinks of daring raids on art galleries. This is played for laughs however, and humour is the clever thread that binds the whole piece wonderfully together.
Some clear adult themes this is not aimed at children but it will entertain and bring a smile to an adult audience. The relationships are the real bonus for me as a duo not fighting crime but taking it a notch up with the biggest heist imaginable to steal The Grande Odalisque from the Louvre.
A perfect graphic novel for action, fun with a female pair who entertain and work so well together.

4 stars
This was a weird, but enjoyable comic. The story is about 2 art thieves and their plan and execution to acquire The Grande Odalisque by Ingres from the Louvre museum. The relationships the main characters have, between themselves and others, are definitely liberal and therefore not everyone will enjoy. But the main story is interesting. The artwork is not terribly detailed, but just enough to convey the story. I actually liked the visual “look”. At times, did find the story a little bit hard to follow. Overall enjoyable.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher, Europe Comics, for the opportunity to read this ARC.

At first look, the art is a bit rough but, oddly, it works. Well, it does for a bit and then it gets dull.
These aren’t very smart art thieves.
Chessboxing?! What? They could have at least showed us what that meant.
The art is flat, that’s what’s bothering me about this comic.
This reads like a lesbian fantasy from a man’s point of view.
They are really, really bad art thieves but the Louvre theft was fun to watch.
This was a weird little comic.

Certainly this deserves a strong mark for effort – even if you think the lack of detail and precision in the artwork is not up to much. This really wants to be a sort of Charlie's Angels, Oceans 3 styled summer action movie, so there is daring-do and derring-do and girls doing girls just to change the pace here and there. The Three Bonnies come together to try and rob the Louvre of a famous painting in this opening adventure of theirs. Well, I say opening, as the netgalley invite suggested this as a volume one, even if nothing else does. I enjoyed it as far as it went, although it really wants to be quite slapstick and comedic at times and often fails to nail the humour. That aside, it was frivolous popcorn stuff. Three and a half stars.

'The Grande Odalisque' by Ruppert, Bastien Vives and Mulot Jerome is a stylish graphic novel that is mostly style over substance. It reads like a summer blockbuster, and that's not always a bad thing.

Carole and Alex are attractive cat burglars. They have an uneasy relationship due to Alex always being in and out of relationships at inconvenient times (like during heists). They get a new job of getting a painting called The Grande Odalisque out of the Louvre. It's a tough job, so they add another new team member, Sam, and a bunch of unusual tech toys, but the clock is ticking on this group of cool thieves.

It was pretty light and fluffy, but I didn't mind it. The art was on the sparse side with details like faces just ideas in some panels, but the style is like the story: fast and loose. Sticklers for realism will have plenty to criticize, but for those looking for a stylish heist, this wasn't too bad.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This book gets a 'meh' rating from me. Too many contrived instances where the main characters should have died, too many unbelievable parts to the plot. Characters two-dimensional and the story really goes nowhere. Artwork was okay.

A very interesting graphic novel with a cool criminal bend to it. Interesting story coupled with stylistic artwork works for this one.
