Torpedo #5

Jordi Bernet's stark black-and-white linework sets the mood perfectly here: a cool, hat-wearing gunman looms in a shadowy doorway, revolver in hand, while a woman lies sprawled across a bed in the foreground — pure noir atmosphere rendered with crisp, cinematic precision. Sanchez Abuli and Bernet's Complete Torpedo series collects the hard-boiled misadventures of one of European crime comics' most ruthless antiheroes, and Volume Five continues that uncompromising run. If you've been following this IDW collection, this installment looks every bit as sharp and stylish as its predecessors.
