The Killer

Written by Matz with art by Luc Jacamon, The Killer is a taut, 4-issue crime thriller from Archaia Studios Press (2007–2013) that follows a coldly professional assassin through the psychological and moral fallout of a botched job. Known for its starkly elegant, monochrome-style artwork and the protagonist's detached, analytical narration, the series is a standout in modern European-influenced comics for its unflinching look at the cost of violence.
