A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind.… (altro)

“I help rich people kill one another. Poor people, they can’t afford me. They handle it themselves.”

“That’s my job: kill time…and occasionally kill people.”

Good, fast paced read! The killer is quite the philosophizer, considering his profession. Sort of justifying what he does, based on the state of our current world, and also based on the history that most of our societies are based on. And he isn't that far out there in his thinking.

However, he is sort of cracking up a bit, and perhaps despite his rationalizing, this may not actually be the job for him. But, the job, well, it doesn't quite go away that easily...

Definitely enjoyed this volume, and definitely will check out the next one! ( )

I bought this graphic novel on a whim. It popped up in my recommendations, the artwork caught my eye, it was on sale; you know, the usual impulse buy. But this French story is very interesting and engaging, much more than an impulse, a great read.

The premise is pretty standard: contract killer is hung out to dry on that last job. I'm sure there is a book of cliches out there for writers, if someone could send me the title so I could buy it, I'd much appreciate it. Anyway, it is Matz' take on the character and story that works wonders. It is also Luc Jacamon's artwork, capturing the details and inner workings of the protagonist.

Volume 2 builds on from this edition nicely. It evolves, it progresses to a higher level that belies its first pages in Volume 1. I don't want to spoil things, I mean, who didn't figure out that Bruce Willis was actually a ghost, aside from the entire theater who threw everything bar the chairs at me? By not spoiling things I won't be mentioning the protagonist's growth from being a loner hitman to having friends.

If you like noir graphic novels, then this series is worth a read. ( )
