Ethan Ringler, Agent fédéral #3

The third volume of Ethan Ringler, Agent fédéral arrives with a haunting cover by Gilles Mezzomo: a young man cradles a fallen figure in a snowy, desolate landscape while a pale, ghostly woman looms large in the background — an image that perfectly captures the title "Quand viennent les ombres" (When the Shadows Come). Denis-Pierre Filippi and Mezzomo's 2007 Franco-Belgian series continues to blend federal intrigue with a moody, atmospheric sensibility that sets it apart from typical genre fare. Published by Dupuis under their Repérages imprint, this is quietly compelling storytelling wrapped in a beautifully somber package.
