Content:  Grandville has received positive reviews. Ryan Agee from The Skinny gave Grandville four out of five stars, writing: "Corny puns abound, but this is a stunningly well drawn book with a compelling mystery, and a great detective team at it's [sic] heart. Great stuff." Neel Mukherjee in The Times was also positive saying: "It's a playful, allusive book in which there's a witty touch or deliciously knowing in-joke on almost every page: the French press whipping up Anglophobia; LeBrock's Holmes-like unpacking of apparently innocent signs, which yield vital information, when he makes his first appearance; the drug-addled Milou/Snowy, dreaming of plotlines of Tintin books in his opium-induced stupors. The numerous fight sequences are simply cracking, especially the beautifully rendered sprays of blood and, throughout, the glossy gorgeousness fills your eyes."

There are steam powered carriages and robots, gratuitous violence, big explosions, lots of kicking, a decent ending and Inspector LeBrock finding himself a long, long way from Wind In the Willows. It can be appreciated on so many levels and with so many potential fanbases basically performing bukkake upon the pages, it should appeal to a lot of people. even those who have a problem with a talking snobby French fish butler with legs. Also, don't try to work out the evolutionary timelines. It will just mess with your head. But do enjoy." Joe McCulloch from The Savage Critics was less positive however, writing: "This doesn't automatically lend itself to a tremendous amount of depth, frankly, and the somewhat stale, vengeful nature of Talbot's plot leaves it teetering on the edge of embarrassing-silly instead of fun-silly."
Title: Grandville (comics)
Content:  Grandville is set in a steampunk world, featuring steam-powered road vehicles, air transport, robots (known as "automatons"), telephones (known as "voicepipes") and televisions. Although the setting strongly resembles the Belle Époque era at the end of the 19th century, the period is approximately the present day, 200 years after the Napoleonic Wars. In this world, Britain lost the war with Napoleon, was invaded by France and the British Royal Family were guillotined. Britain was then ruled by France until twenty-three years before the start of the series, when Britain gained independence following "a prolonged campaign of civil disobedience and anarchist bombings." A consequence of some 180 years of French rule is that English only survives in rural communities, with the main language spoken in Britain being French. The

Content:  capital of the French Empire, is the biggest city in the world, known by the nickname of "Grandville". The vast majority of individuals in Grandville are anthropomorphic animals although humans do exist. Most French humans are from Angoulême and are widely believed to be a subspecies of "hairless chimp" that evolved there comparatively recently. Referred to as "doughfaces", they have never gained citizens' rights and are not allowed passports to travel abroad. They are thought less intelligent and are mostly menial workers. Although small numbers live in other countries, there are none in Britain so they are unfamiliar to many British. A sub-plot of the third book involves a growing human civil-rights movement. The fourth book provides some backstory about humans and their historical relationship with other species.
