Nero

In this taut three-issue miniseries from Casterman, writer Alessandro Crippa and artist Andrea Mutti craft a moody, modern noir set in the criminal underworld. Following an enforcer known only as Nero, the story unfolds across a gritty, rain-slicked landscape where loyalty is currency and violence is a tool. Crippa’s lean script and Mutti’s stark, shadow-drenched artwork give the series a cinematic, hardboiled edge that echoes classic crime comics while feeling distinctly contemporary. Though brief, Nero stands as a sharp, self-contained thriller from the mid-2000s European comics scene.
