Sisco #6

The sixth chapter of Le Lombard's espionage series finds Sisco standing armed and resolute against a snow-swept urban skyline, the title "Négociations en 9mm" making clear that diplomacy here comes at a very specific caliber. Thomas Legrain's cover art draws the eye immediately to the agent's steely composure — dark coat, rifle in hand, the bleak winter city stretched out behind him — setting a mood that's equal parts thriller and quiet menace. Written by Benec and rendered with sharp linework by Legrain, this 2013 entry promises the kind of cold-weather, high-stakes tension that keeps this French espionage series reliably gripping.
