Empire USA Periode 1 #2

Two armed women face off on a rain-slicked highway at night, their silhouettes caught in the harsh glare of a car's headlights — a tense, atmospheric cover by Philippe Ravon that perfectly sets the mood for this Franco-Belgian crime series. Empire USA Période 1 #2 continues the collaboration between writer Stephen Desberg and artist Alain Mounier, published by Dargaud in 2008. If this shadowy standoff is any indication, the series delivers the kind of stylish, noir-edged thriller that keeps you turning pages.
