Regarding the design, Yuri JIGOUNOV of the characters are `less stiff 'than William VANCE (and therefore more realistic) and color Berengere Marquebreucq particularly sparkling.

Scenario Côté, Yves SENTE that perfectly knows the work of Van HAMME, has established the foundations for a new cycle while respecting the spirit and style of XIII: the three basic ingredients are there, namely thriller , the quest for identity and political conspiracy.
He managed to carefully reintroduce friends of our hero, while creating new villains you love to hate.

In short, this album beautifully renews the series by giving it a new breath.
