Sisco #7

The seventh volume of Sisco arrives with a cover that pulls no punches: a bloodied man in orange prison trousers stands clenched-fisted in the foreground, while a tender — or perhaps desperate — kiss between two figures is reflected in a small window behind him. Thomas Legrain's linework sets a taut, brooding mood that promises the series is living up to its title, "De wet van Murphy" — Murphy's Law — where everything that can go wrong, clearly has. Published by Le Lombard in 2014, this Belgian thriller series continues to deliver its gripping blend of tension and raw human stakes.
