Matz, the French writer behind The Killer comic, has penned many other independent comics in his native language, in addition to writing scripts for video games. One of his most prominent gaming credits include the classic first-person shooter XIII. Final Thoughts (Part Two):�The second story strays away from what made part one so great and is noticeably weaker. The killer comes off as whiny and the story relies on twists and action. However, the story is fun and the writing is fantastic at times. Add some of the best art in the book and readers are still left with a very strong story.

Below is the partial review I wrote for Fanbase Press. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I waited many years to finish this series. It's an excellent story and worthy of being included in the Best Of comic book lists. The series was published in 13 albums by Casterman. It was translated into English and published by Archaia Studios Press, who turned each album into 2 comic books. Owen Gleiberman, Variety: "It's not that he's anything less than great at it, but [Fincher] may think there’s more shading, more revelation in how he has staged The Killer than there actually is." How long is The Killer? Heavily inspired by Cold War-era paranoia and espionage fiction like Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne novels, XIII is similar to The Killer in terms of its morally ambiguous protagonist. The title alludes to a secret agent and assassin with amnesia, who only remembers his numeric codename. Much like the unnamed protagonist of The Killer, Agent 13 has a traumatic past to carry on his shoulders.Un asesino a sueldo con aires de freelancer, despiadado pero con conciencia, tendencias suicidas, delirios de grandeza y una visión bastante tóxica de la vida. Un personaje engreído, obsesivamente metódico y con pretensiones de superioridad moral con el que uno como lector jamás empatiza. Grobar, Matt (30 August 2023).

Conspicuously Public Assassination: The Killer is hired to assassinate a corrupt high-ranking French politician after he becomes a competitor to a Colombian drug kingpin for the same market. The kingpin specifically wants the assassination to be as public as possible to send a clear message, so the Killer opts to blow up his car along with his armed escorts.

While the city was under Nazi occupation, Petiot preyed upon the fears of the populace by offering a fraudulent escape route for those wanted by the Germans. Instead, he slayed those who came to him for aid and stole their valuables and other belongings. During his trial, Petiot claimed that his victims had all been traitors—Nazi collaborators or “double agents”—but was nonetheless found guilty and beheaded. The killer appears to have been set up. The story moves to another locale as the killer appears to be more accepting of his life. Great comparisons with wildlife and the art continues to impress. Chapter Three: The DebtIt's unfortunate then that XIII’s film adaptation is a low-budget feature by Uwe Boll that was critically panned, like most of his other video game adaptations. The Killer isn’t Matz’s first comic-to-screen adaptation Straw Nihilist: The protagonist justifies his own life as a contract killer to the reader by pointing to past atrocities and other injustices in the world, reasoning that him taking out a few lives here and there won't make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

The Killer cast Opositor al imperialismo estadounidense, pronto nos enteramos de que este mercenario francés es todo un apasionado del comunismo, pero de esos de dientes pa' afuera ya que se la pasa de lo lindo disfrutando de los lujos del capitalismo del que tanto se queja.

The film began a limited theatrical release on October 27, 2023, via Netflix, before streaming on the platform on November 10, 2023. [18] Reception [ edit ] Critical response [ edit ] Hacía mucho no me enfrentaba a un texto tan vacío y desesperanzador como es el caso de esta novela gráfica. The Killer es un mastodonte de más de 700 páginas sin ningún valor considerable más allá del paseo visual por varias partes del planeta (en específico toda Latinoamérica) acompañado de la sarta de estupideces pretendidas reflexiones profundas que se la pasa compartiéndonos el personaje central. Eso sí, la novela tiene una estructura muy cinematográfica y un ritmo por momentos absorbente que logra meterte en la praxis del asesino con sus respectivas dosis de adrenalina. Writer Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, The Avengers, Powers) relates in his foreword that he bought The Killer (Le Tueur) on impulse, hoping that he would find something special. The covers were engaging and obviously meant to convey a moment and a theme from the issue’s story arc. Bendis goes on to say that the title delivered not only “special,” but so much more.
