The Killer Omnibus

From 2014, Boom! Studios collected the acclaimed French crime saga The Killer in this omnibus format, bringing writer Matz and artist Luc Jacamon's tense, methodical world of a professional assassin to a new audience. Spanning two issues, this edition compiles the series' signature blend of cold, internal monologue and stark, kinetic visuals. Edward Gauvin's translation preserves the terse, noir-tinged prose that defines the hitman's detached perspective. It matters as a definitive English-language collection of a modern European thriller that influenced the David Fincher film.
