The scepter of THORGAL ... (Spoilers !!!)

This tome 3 misadventures of evil that we love to hate begins on an exciting premise: Kriss Valnor is tested by the gods. One that killed as easily as others use a handkerchief in winter, has a chance to redeem his faults. To do this, it should no longer attempt on her life was one human or animal. Our adventurer finds himself embedded in spite of herself in a plot to overthrow a local monarch. Will you survive it without violence?

At a time when the adaptation of Game Of Thrones rocks the house with its explosive mix of political intrigue, sex and adventure, there is no reason that the murderous adventures of our beautiful that would be inconsistent in this line.

And a sign of modernity, Kriss will live a passionate love with a woman! Since its inception, unlike Thorgal that seduces without consuming much, Kriss uses sex as a weapon to achieve its ends. In Thorgal, Tome 29: The Sacrifice, to better humiliate Aaricia, it already suggested her to share his bed.

The lover Kriss is shown princess finger in his kingdom because of his difference. Sente still fitting with the humanistic writing Van Hamme advocating the right to tolerance.
Feelings of Hildebrun are pure toward Kriss. His death continues to include our anti hero in the tragedy; Kriss's life is a nightmare and it always ends up losing in pain who share his bed. From the fiery Tjall Thorgal, those have in common a nobility and purity aspires Kriss. And never seem to get. This time, the renunciation of violence Kriss causing drama. Rather, it is seen by Sente.

Our heroine is reminiscent of Daredevil Elektra: a woman prisoner of his violence seeking redemption through the purity of a male hero for whom she sacrifices herself. When it is reborn pure, it is in the white snow it reappears. Look at the 4th cover Kriss any red dressed with a red bandana blood person reminds you?

The album is nevertheless disappointing non-violent cycle Kriss could have lasted more than one album. On the other hand, it is unfortunate that the writer had killed so early Hilde. It is true that Kriss is a femme fatale, but it would have been wiser to dig benefit the feelings between the two women.

Sente makes several allusions to the continuity of Thorgal and Jolan. For those like me who do not follow the current series, this proved an unfortunate choice .Finally When it takes a year to write a story, we pay attention to script errors: P32 A Viking was amputated leg an organ. Kriss yet made allusion to his arm cut off ... .... We must stop mead!

Thorgal Van Hamme punctuated the adventures of wink to those of Tintin. Here Sente builds its plot on a king who risks losing its power if his scepter is not returned to him within 24 hours. Uh ... at this point, is more than a wink huh? King Ottokar's Sceptre someone? Hard to know why Sente built a plot copy paste that of Hergé. Moulinsart will fall on him and it is unnecessarily torturous!

Fit for a queen is the least successful of the three spin-off dedicated to Kriss; Sente writing seems hesitant for the first time and pressed to complete its intrigues.
