5 stars instead of 4-deserved? It's just that if we embrace the series as a whole (or rather on the 5 or 6 first volumes, high quality), this number reflects a 1 still vacillating approach by Tardi, whose one feels that he is looking a little, despite a plethora of well-researched characters (some clutter, even, sometimes) and a complex scenario, all in a truly innovative universe finely tuned and alchemical mixture of thriller, fantastic atmosphere and the kind Gabin Old Paris but also arsenic and old lace. a collection of "faces" unique.
One can blame this Volume 1 many questions left unanswered, but if one reads in the wake Volume 2 and it all becomes clear number one well worth its 5 stars, believe me!
