There were ten: End of cycle of a story to the elevator cristo

Volumes 1-4 are without doubt the most successful of this adventure. It tells how our hero tries somehow to bring his little motley troupe of Moscow to Paris escaping the cold, wolves and Russians; Left in the cold by the mysterious Clement Morlaix Guérigny, they will not cease to survive for revenge. Volume 1 (October 1812) portrays the story: Moscow is in flames, retirement or the debacle begins. Volume 2 (Novgora) describes the descent into hell of our hero. Volume 3 (Paris 1820) enshrines the homecoming JB Grassien and few survivors of his company (I will not say which), and Volume 4 (Rue Saint-Honoré) proves that revenge is a dish is eaten cold.

The designs are beautiful and the scenario full house, although this is not necessarily a comic full of actions as can the American blockbusters. Some therefore find a few delays, but this is a comic that attach to show the evolution of his heroes in History (with a capital H) is written. Up Volume 4 that closes the first cycle is not without thinking about the history of Monte Cristo.

Once consumed his vengeance, JB Grassien must take refuge in Corsica where volumes 5 and 6. The atmosphere of the story changes take place. We are no longer in a revenge story, but in a somewhat less believable story of old Emperor (you'll recognize the name). The pace slowed a little more, to stick to that in Corsica and landscapes beautifully rendered by the drawing of Eric Stalner. But personally, I had a little more difficulty adhering to this story the author tells us that in these last two volumes. Nevertheless remain beautiful designs and a hero to which attention was given during the first 4 volumes.
