Great crime story with art that borders between realistic and stylized.
Our story follows a nameless, rather heartless, hit-man as the reader is told a story that jumps in time to give the Killer both an origin and the forward momentum to make the story compelling. Though I really enjoyed the story--this is a crime comic done really well--I was a bit bogged down by the endless deluge of the Killer's narration. At times it helps to frame what is happening in the story, or to give it more depth, but a lot of the time it just fills space amidst the art and doesn't add any depth to the lead.
Speaking of the art: great stuff from Jacamon who both draws and colours his own pages. He really sells the different locales in this globe trotting story by bringing to life the architecture, people, and colours of a given location. This reminded me a lot of the recent Daniel Craig 007 movies. The lead is a killer first and foremost, there's tons of sex, violence, and eye-catching locales.
Thanks to Alex for both the recommendation and the lend of this volume and the second. The story closed off well enough in the first volume that I think I'll wait a few weeks before diving back into the killer's headspace. For anyone looking for a break from western comics, or just need a crime-fix, you'd do well to check out The Killer.

Una historia negra narrada con pulso e interés, aunque el final me parece un poco anticlimático.

Portrait of a professional assassin. Largely character driven. The...I guess I have to use the word 'protagonist'...kills for money. Anyone, and with zero qualms. There's no Dexter-style code of honor or precious wrestling-with-conscience to make it comfortable for the reader to be on his side.
We follow the killer through a series of jobs, a betrayal by his handler, and an entanglement with a Colombian drug lord, as he muses about his past, his philosophy of life, and the generally despicable nature of humanity.
The plot is pleasingly unpredictable. There are no dramatic twists, there's no formula to follow. He simply proceeds calmly through whatever challenges arise, and he ponders. The end.
I like that.

The killer sits alone in a hotel room waiting for his victim to arrive. While he waits, his thoughts travel back to how he got here. How his life is, and how he is infinitely patient. Or at least, he says he is. When things in his world go awry, the killer finds an unusual group of new friends to rely on. But can you ever truly trust anyone your life is built on a lie?
This is a densely packed, very cinematic story. There is a lot of self reflection, but there is plenty of action to move the story along. This is a long story arc, but I found it really satisfying.
The art by Luc Jacamon is incredible. With backgrounds like city streets in Paris, the jungles of South America, and underwater and beaches. The killer maintains one facial expression throughout most of the book, which is quite a feat for an artist to maintain. The story by Matz is better than a lot of novels I've read, and could easily be adapted into a television series on Netflix or A&E. Very good and I really enjoyed it.

Got around this due to the upcoming David Fincher adaptation, and was not disappointed. Luc Jacamon’s vivid art splashes across each page, and Matz is a decent writer, the combination making for a captivating read that is easy to shoot through and difficult to put down. Thankful there’s a couple more volumes to go.

Una granhistoria, a la que no le doy 5* porque me parece algo confuso con los nombres de los que le engañan yel porque le toman como un pringado. Te lo hace leer del tirón y me alegra saber que estan haciendo la pelicula

If you ever imagined what goes through hitman's mind while sitting on a rooftop half a mile away waiting for his victim to come into the crosshairs, this is the book to read. Matz and Jacamon's The Killer (Le Tueur) is a long and imaginative monologue rant about the state of the world and what is wrong with humanity from a perspective of a person that has made life simple. Most of us kill ourselves for money, but the killer has cut the whole process short. He kills for money. Described as an ultimate noir, this book is so much more. The killer analyses human need to kill, reasons we would kill for, even ads interesting tidbits about the psychology of killing. From Milgram studies to former Nazis, Matz takes a shot at Freud, apex predators, CIA and global politics, all at the same time and all under a guise of self deprecating humor.
If you have to read one graphic novel, make it this one. And go do it now.

This is another one of those "been on my to-read list a long time" books. The first of two omnibus volumes, this is an outstanding starting point to Matz's narrative world. The tone is certainly dark, but given its topic, how could it be any other way?

Not for me! Still excited for the Fincher film.

“I have a single motive for what I’m doing: money”
An intriguing character study of a hitman, who approaches his occupation with professionalism and a detachment that is disturbing considering his chosen vocation.
French writer Matz and illustrator Lucy Jacamon team up in this 2013 compilation of his comic book series originally entitled Le tueur. The writing is terse and to the point, the art is realistic / stylistic and cool to look at. While much of the violence is minimized by Jacamon’s theatrical delivery, this is as advertised.
My friend at the comic book store, Murfreesboro’s Grand Adventure, let me borrow this and it was fun, though not really breaking any new ground. Is he a psychopath, a sociopath or just a guy who recognizes a need and provides a valuable service? Matz does add some depth with relationships and some plot twists, but this is told straight.
There is a Netflix series coming out based on this GN starring Michael Fassbender.
“In the end, I am a Killer. I put a definitive end to things and to lives. I’m not afraid of this, when I can shoot, I shoot, and when I shoot, I shoot to kill.”

I picked this up after seeing that Fincher is filming an adaptation of it starring Fassbender. Unfortunately the source material is overlong and trite; a loner hitman monologues at length about the boring, bleak worldview he uses to justify his job while “killing time” on jobs and between them. A few plot twists with his employers eventually liven things up a bit, but even that isn’t particularly interesting as presented here (though I can imagine a thrilling version of it from Fincher). The art has a few nice painted backgrounds but overall it’s very mediocre euro comic art with a ton of the same faced characters and muddy, neutral coloring.
Still looking forward to the movie, though!

Visualmente me ha parecido una auténtica maravilla: las escenas de acción, la distribución de las viñetas y sobre todo las texturas, alucinante como representa las sombras, los fondos...
Sin embargo en la trama me he perdido un poco, por eso le resto una estrella pero el balance es positivo.
La película de Netflix es muy simple, comparado con el cómic no llega a narrar ni el 30% de lo que sucede en éste, aunque tampoco está mal.

Not very interesting, kind of boring. The plot and characters were basic in my opinion and not compelling. I disliked the way the one female character was portrayed (she was not a character!!! she was so underdeveloped she didn't even have a name). Also, what was up with the cop being framed for police brutality by greedy criminals and them getting murdered by the MC as a favor??? That was just weird and did not sit right with me at all. Yikes!

Maravillado con "El Asesino (Vol. 1)" de Matz & Jacamon, ¡maravillado! La adaptación de Fincher cogía su premisa y su tono, pero el desarrollo era completamente distinto. Aquí hay más giros y personajes, además de una evolución del protagonista realmente interesante. ¡Quiero más!

Un capolavoro. Uno dei rari casi in cui leggi e capisci che sei di fronte a un instant classic. Imperdibile per gli amanti del noir, delle storie scritte bene e di Port Tropique di Barry Gifford (che abbiamo letto in pochissimi).

Just not for me. I usually like French bande dessinées, but this certainly isn't one I'll ever care to come back to.
July 7, 2023
I liked the style and artwork, but the writing at both the small and large scale was redundant and, at its worst, asinine. I'm excited to see what Fincher does with this!
September 3, 2023
Decent, but rather bland take on the enigmatic Hitman trope.

Lo he pillado en la biblioteca por intuición y vaya éxito. No me extraña que pronto vayan a hacer una adaptación cinematográfica de alto nivel. Esperando al segundo volumen.

Meh.
Take all the hitman tropes, add a dash of armchair philosophy, blend until pulpy. Then form into mediocre graphic novel.
Loved the art though.

Have you ever thought about killing people for money? I'm not talking about some macho guy movie stuff, just being an ordinary person who, instead of teaching, selling or working in a factory, kills people to earn his daily bread. A comic book series called „Le Tueur“ (The Killer) tells the story of one such person. It's French series consisting of 10 episodes so far written by Matz and drawn by Luc Jacamon. I recently read Croatian translation of first five episodes which we can call „first part“ 'cause it concludes the main story.
The main character is a nameless contract killer. He's an ordinary guy, maybe a little withdrawn. His looks aren't what you would expect of a killer, nor are his thoughts. It's a lonely job and the more time he has on his hands the more he thinks and the more complicated his life gets. He thinks of life, death, money, power, fairness and unfairness, surviving the day, love, loneliness, friendship and all the other things which bother you, me and everyone else no matter what our job is. That's why he is nameless. It could be any of us.
The interesting thing about the books is that almost all of the time we're guided through the story by the killer's thoughts. That causes little jumps back and forth along the time-line, which can maybe be confusing for someone but give an accurate reflection of how our thought process works. There is a very small amount of dialogue, which is unusual but functions pretty well here. The story, as can be expected gets more and more complicated. Police, drug cartels, dirty politicians and other prominent figures come and go as the main character tries to quit his job and settle down. It isn't especially new and original but it's interesting and has a right pace. Alternating longer introspective sequences with short action set pieces it gives you enough time to think about it and doesn't get boring doing so.
By far the best side of these books are drawing and coloring by Jacamon. Going through the books you get the feeling the text is almost always redundant and I really don't know a better compliment for the drawing. The way Jacamon draws action scenes is so energetic it makes your heart pound more than any action movie and he doesn't have a problem expressing all kinds of nuanced emotions of the characters too. But the things that I liked the most are framing and lighting of the scenes. The scenes that are framed in the panels and the arrangement of the panels on the page are very cinematic and pull a reader in with ease. And the lighting of the panels... Night, shadows, street lights, sun, headlights, lamps. It's all done so realistically and colored so beautifully I think I've never seen it done better.
So far „Le Tueur“: has a good story, is very well written and is fantastically drawn. It has some depth but it displays it openly, it has some action but it mostly consists of one person's thoughts, so it can be interesting to all kinds of readers. I'm waiting for a translation to see how the other five episodes turned out (I'm not so eager to buy it in English) and I'll inform you about it as soon as I lay my hands on them. In the meantime, try to get a hold of this series even if you don't feel like reading it. You don't have to. It's worth just looking at.

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book on Netgalley from the publisher in return for an honest review*
Authors
Luc Jacamon honed his drawing skills with an Alfred scholarship in 986. Le Tueur: Long Feu was his first published work
Matz has published various graphic novels. He is also, under his real name, an active writer for videogames, as well as a published novelist.
Review
I love books on crime and when I saw this title on Netgally I got curious. Usually I read my crime novels trough the eyes of the police officer, reading a book trough the eyes of a hitman would be something totally different for me. This particular hitman has a problem. He has the feeling he is beginning to loose it and you actually start to feel sorry for him at some point. Trying to get out of the job because he has made enough money to lead an easy life he runs into a setup pulling him deeper into the world pushing him in situations he does not want to be in. You can really feel his desperation for the whole situation.
The evolution of the story is set up nice too, you can see all the problems he runs into and when you think he solved the one the other is popping up and you move on. I do not know much about the life of a hitman but this story sounds very solid. The graphics are varied in details. Specially the killings and sex graphics have explicit details. I like how the main character is always a bit shadowed in the drawings this adds to the mystery surrounding him. Even now I would not be able to give a solid description on his looks to the police.
Some of the quotes I liked in the book
"I believe there are to many people on the earth... But on the other hand life is very fragile"
"The days of the dinosaur, the reptile brain, are long gone, maybe the time had come to adapt. Play it all a little bit more subtle. Aim a little higher. After all, the most fearsome predator, the most lethal creature in the whole of creation, the one with the fewest scruples and the least reason is man"

Vero voto 4,5/5
Questa graphic novel narra la storia di un killer su commissione, parlando sia della vita lavorativa che privata.
Dal punto di vista lavorativo, viene mostrato come sia ogni "lavoro". L'attesa estenuante, le decisioni all'ultimo momento e gli effetti collaterali, ma anche il rischio di ritorsioni o di essere venduti.
La vita privata viene tenuta alla larga dal lavoro e viene difesa. Una vita non facile, ma che è il rifugio dei momenti violenti del lavoro scelto.
Il protagonista sente tutta la pressione, le responsabilità e la stanchezza di un lavoro solitario. E' proprio la solitudine che emerge. Una solitudine sia lavorativa che privata poichè si ritrova a non creare legami così forti per non rischiare le vite di chi ama. Se da un lato è un lavoro grave e illegale, dall'altro è un lavoro che crea una pressione psicologica molto forte.
I disegni sono un'alternanza di colori scuri e chiari. I colori scuri vengono scelti per le scene violente e intime, mentre i colori chiari sono per situazioni più leggere. Questa struttura di colori riesce a dare le giuste emozioni alle singole scene. Devo dire che l'utilizzo di colori scuri mi ha quasi impedito di capire bene il disegno poichè eccessivamente cupa e che ha richiesto l'uso di una luce più forte per poter capire. L'intero volume è diviso in 5 parti collegate tra di loro come se fosse una mini serie tv.
Dalla trama molto scarna, no n pensavo di rimaner colpita da questa storia. I disegni sono perfetti per narrare le vicende di questo killer e le sue emozioni. Mi ha appassionato in poco tempo e non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito, se ci sarà.

This is the story of the ultimate anti-hero. He is a hired gun who kills solely for profit. He's lived his entire life as a loner wanting only enough money so he can "retire" and fade away into South America where no one will know him or bother him. But, when the tables turn and someone comes after him, he not only has to defend himself, but all the people he has come to care for without even realizing it.
This is one of those rare books that is not lost in translation. The story was originally published in French and takes place mostly in and around Paris (with side trips to a couple of South American jungles), but holds up extremely well in English. This could be any average American man living in any average American city. The art style is also excellent with beautiful places and beautiful people rendered in beautiful colors.
One of the best I've read so far this year. It will definitely appeal to fans of noir, action and guns.

Originally published in French as Le Tueur (a five albums series), this English language omnibus edition of writer Matz and artist Luc Jacamon's crime comics masterpiece is both a visual piece of storytelling beauty and well-crafted plotting and writing. Following a professional killer's life following a hit that does not quite pan out according to plan, the narrative laconically offers a dark and misanthropic view of the world, while producing a credible (to me at least) psychological insight into this kind of professional human predator.
A highly recommended read, especially for fans of hardboiled crime fiction.

This came recommended and was given to my by a friend to read. I was a little wary in the beginning because it had all the makings of a story that typically features a main character who's so over the top bad ass that it becomes childish and annoying, but that was not the case this time around. It's a good story that kept me guessing until the end and features some nice, vibrant art as well. I kept preparing myself for the worst, but it just didn't happen. Finally, by about the halfway point, I was able to relax and just enjoy it without the fear. Now I just wish there was more.

Really good.
Here's what you get.
Great artwork and a solid story.
About the story you ask?
You get a Hitman. A professional hitman who kills marks, collects and goes on to the next mark. You mostly get his inner thoughts about his job and his ideology on assassinations and killing in general.
All the while we have his current mission each time and also he talks about his experiences on killing and how he started too.
Good read.
