Alpha #4

A lone figure on a rooftop pulls on leather gloves against the Washington night, the illuminated Capitol dome glowing in the distance and an American flag flying overhead — it's a quietly tense image that sets the mood for this CIA-themed spy thriller perfectly. Jigounov's cover art uses deep shadow and warm nocturnal light to give the scene a cinematic weight that feels right at home with the series' espionage sensibility. With writing by Mythic and Jigounov's fully realized artwork throughout, Alpha: Sanctions is a polished entry in Cinebook's impressive line of Franco-Belgian spy comics.
