Not a whole lot of killing going on.

 

 

The Killer and his partner, Marino, are staking out Rachel Cartier. Marino “pumps” her for information about Biscay. Biscay had stolen money from The Killer and is questioned ever so horribly about who is out to kill him. After he gets his information, our no-named protagonist goes out on his last job to tie up all of the loose ends.

 

This has a really cool feel about it as you read it. The drawing reminds me of ‘70’s spy movies for some reason. Though I only read a small portion of this I would like very much to go through the whole series now. Matz and Jacamon do a great job of maintaining suspense and increasing the brutality of the violence by having most of it off screen.
