Dantès #4

The fourth volume of Dargaud's Dantès series — subtitled Pour solde de tout compte — brings the story to a head with a cover that oozes cold, calculated confidence: a sharp-suited man raises a champagne flute against a deep crimson backdrop, his gaze steely and unreadable. Created by Boisserie, Guillaume, and Juszezak, this 2010 Franco-Belgian thriller series draws clear inspiration from Alexandre Dumas, reimagining a tale of meticulous vengeance for the modern world. If you've been following Dantès' long game, this fourth installment promises the tension of a reckoning close at hand.
