A new story starts up after the story of the attempted presidential coup ended in vol. 5. XIII goes in search of his past, uncovering that his father was murdered when he was a teenager. Meanwhile, the Mongoose is still looking to tie up loose ends and goes after Fly and Major Jones. I actually think this story is much easier to follow and doesn't suffer as much from long form exposition dumps.

[Fredrik Strömberg · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK, sixth album and a reboot of sorts, after last album's surprise ending. Surprise as in that there actually was an ending to this seemingly never ending, increasingly intricate, spy infested storyline.

I was curious as to how van Hamme would handle having to continue a story that seems to initially only have been meant to span five albums. Well, he did it of course by embarking on a new mystery tour for the amnesiac hero, and including some of the villains from the first story arc. The story here, though, was at least initially more sedate and more focused on the characters, a move that I liked. This volume, as compared to the former, feels more interesting as it is not so high flying and virtually impossible as the former story arc, with it's intricate, "overthrow whole countries and declare WWIII theme"... . The dialogue was still a bit too much, though here it's not as much characters explaining things that could have been shown in the visuals, which several of the former albums were full of, but more of a normal dialogue for an action/thriller themed story.

So, I'm gonna stick with this series and continue a bit further along the road of XIII.

No nyt oli taas hyvää toimintaa rajatussa ympäristössä. Pienempi skaala sopii tekijöille paljon paremmin.

Un bon sixième tome qui relance la série avec un nouveau cycle et de nouvelles machinations.

Ce sixième volume repart de plus belle sur la piste de XIII qui serait en fait Jason Fly. Il retourne donc sur les lieux de son enfance à Greenfalls. Mais il semble que personne ne souhaite son retour, ni ses ennemis présents, ni ceux qui l'ont pourtant vu grandir. Qui est donc Jason Fly? Et est-ce bien sa véritable identité? XIII poursuit son enquête, brillamment secondé par le major Jones...

XIII takes a side story to attempt to solve his amnesia by visiting a place he stayed when he was young, a small mountain town. Corrupt sheriff and paper mogel and assassins try to blow up him and he escapes with help.

En hommage à William Vance...

Huomattavasti parempi muistinsa-menettänyt-action-mies-etsii-itseään-tarina kuin Bourne ikinä.

This is my first XIII comic book and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was something else.
The story wasn't bad. Not at all, but sometimes the dialogues said things that needn't be said, that should've been shown in the art.
The art itself was really nice, I liked it a lot, it was full of details and very beautiful, but the characatres faces showed too little emotion at times.

All in all it was a nice read, but not a great one.

Luego del constante peligro sufrido en los anteriores numeros este comineza con un Jason Fly relajado, tomandose el tiempo para buscar su pasado. Llega al pueblo de Greenfalls, en el cual encuentra pistas de su infancia y de la vida de su padre, pero conforme se acerca a la verdad un grupo de personas del pueblo se molestan que un forastero esta haciendo preguntas del pasado.

La quête de XIII se poursuit pour la découverte de son passé mais certaines personnes ne veulent pas qu'il y arrive. C'est le premier tome de la série que je trouve ennuyant. C'est peut-être parce que c'est l'introduction de la seconde partie. Les détails doivent peut-être mis en place pour un nouveau départ. C'est ce que je vais voir dans les prochains tomes.

On avait une sorte de résolution dans l'album 5, puis là ça repart avec une nouvelle identité ! Le concept commence à enrayer mais j'avoue que j'ai aimé l'identité de Jason (fils de Jonathan Fly) ainsi que l'ambiance hivernale de cet album, qui reste un de mes préféré de la série avec la nuit du 3 août et Trois montres d'argent

[Zoli · Rating 4 out of 5]

With this volume, a new story line begins for Agent XIII that has been used as inspiration for the TV series. The beginning looks interesting so far...

[Clint the Cool Guy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's interesting. Lays the groundwork for a new part of the story. Good artwork also. Recommended.

On croyait l'histoire terminé mais elle ne fait que commencer avec la recherche des origines et le combat contre l'amnésie.
