A true work of art visually and story wise.

I waited many years to finish this series. It's an excellent story and worthy of being included in the Best Of comic book lists. A fairly flaccid and uneventful affair that suffers from just about every problem I usually have with foreign comics translated into English. Problems which usually begin and end with the writing. Whether something is being repeatedly lost in translation I can't say, but hot damn does this come across as some weakly written sauce. The protagonists dime store philosophising comes across with all the maturity and complexity of a petulant fourteen year-old who has read a chapter of Nitsche and think's his rage at the world is entirely deep and unique. The plot is nothing new, although it didn't really have to be. Contract killer kills people with some moderately competent writing to accompany the pretty solid art. That was all that was needed. Unfortunately, that wasn't really what we got. It does improve somewhat towards the end, with the terrible soliloquy replaced by some better dialogue and character interactions, but it's still a long way from what I was hoping for. I do hope this continues to improve. 3/5The Killer (Le Tueur) is a French neo-noir comic book series written by Alexis "Matz" Nolent and illustrated by Luc Jacamon and published 1998-2013.
