Metal Gear Solid #1

This French-language edition from Mana Books brings Kris Oprisko's adaptation of Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid to a whole new audience under the striking subtitle Projet Rex. Ashley Wood's cover art sets the tone perfectly — a brooding, near-monochromatic Solid Snake rendered in loose, painterly brushstrokes, pistol in hand, a second figure looming as a ghostly presence behind him. It's a moody, atmospheric opener that captures the stealth-and-espionage tension at the heart of the Tactical Espionage Action franchise.
