The Fix #1

Two morally flexible-looking men linger outside a "House of Pies Family Restaurant" beneath a warm California sunset — one leaning against a car in a floral shirt, the other standing cool and composed in a sharp blazer — and Steve Lieber's sun-drenched linework immediately sets the tone for a crime series that clearly doesn't take itself too seriously. This French-language Urban Comics edition of The Fix #1 collects Nick Spencer's story with Lieber's art and Ryan Hill's vivid colors, bringing a distinctly LA-flavored brand of low-life scheming to readers across the Atlantic. If the cover's laid-back swagger is any indication, this is crime comedy with real style to spare.
