Long Fire: Part 1 - This man is solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets. The killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. However the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody, and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass.
"Matz" is the pseudonym for French writer Alexis Nolent. He has written scripts for video games, a novel, and as Matz, a number of comics including Triggerman by Walter Hill. His graphic novel, Du plombe dan la tete a.k.a. Headshot, was adapted into the 2012 film, Bullet To The Head.
Unputdownable! Every frame keeps you hooked. Snappy dialogues and matching visuals make reading fun. The character and psychology of the killer emerges from each panel, bit by bit.
Well that's an interesting start to the mini-series. Not exactly the most captivating entrance to a comic book, but not the worst either. Let's see what the next book has to offer.
