Shadow Banking #2

Two figures — a determined-looking young man and a poised woman in a blue dress — stand at street level while glass towers loom dramatically overhead, setting the tone for this 2015 Glénat thriller about the murky world of high finance. "Het raderwerk" ("The Mechanism") is the second chapter in the Shadow Banking series, written by Corbeyran and Frédéric Bagarry with art and cover by Éric Chabbert, whose cool blue palette perfectly captures the sleek, impersonal power of modern banking corridors. If you enjoy sophisticated European BD that blends corporate intrigue with compelling characters, this series deserves a place on your shelf.
