breaks 1 2015

Today we are talking about Breeks, the mook (contraction of Shops / Book) whose number 1 has been available for a few weeks in all good bookstores in France.

After a number 0 which gave us a foretaste of what this medium would be, here is the first "real" number of this magazine Geek which over its 128 pages gives pride of place to the Star Wars universe, news oblige. The finish is exemplary: Beautiful cardboard cover, original interior trim, airy and readable content, quality illustrations ...

However, I have always been very skeptical of marketing discourse which claims a little too proudly that such and such content "Geek" is destined "to the whole family". For once it's true: I was surprised to see that my 12-year-old son, a lover of video games, manga, superhero movies and TV series, found an interest in flipping through this big paved.

First attracted by the illustrations of the various articles, he quickly got caught up in the game and read a few sections, before coming to discuss with me what he was able to learn over the pages. From this point of view, the contract is fulfilled and Breeks keeps all of his promises.

Same behavior from my wife, who after looking suspiciously at the cover of issue 1, finally agreed to take a look. A few articles finally found favor with his eyes and were the starting point for some interesting discussions.

For anyone wondering: Yes, there's a lot of talk about LEGO in this first issue. I obviously have no problem with that, quite the contrary. LEGO products are one of the current markers of this catch-all cultural set that we put in the basket "GeekYou only have to look at the current offer of the manufacturer of Billund and take a look at what sites the internet has of sites that are surfing the current trends to realize this.

So, should you spend € 15.90 to afford this mook with a high-end finish and rich and varied content? The answer is in the question. It is also one of the few media currently available in France, and perhaps even the only one, which highlights our favorite products. English-speaking countries already have their magazines dedicated to LEGO products (Blocks, Bricks, Brickjournal) and I chose to support Breeks because I think it's also our only chance to have French-speaking support that includes editorial content related to the passion for LEGO.

Note for all those who will be present in Bordeaux next weekend: Muttpop, which publishes Breeks in partnership with Bragelonne editions, will be present at the event Brick Fans 2015. Do not hesitate to take the opportunity to leaf through this number 1 on the publisher's stand.

If you have trouble finding Breeks in bookstores, you can buy No. 1 online directly. on the Muttpop website.
