Yet, Tom helps Alex in his mission in any way possible. Later, when Alex meets Tom on the train after escaping from SCORPIA, Alex tells Tom everything about his involvement with MI6, his past missions and whatever he knows about SCORPIA.

However, as he is not the type to seek popularity, Alex doesn’t mind this much. Once again, a graphic novel that holds true to the plot and feel of the original novel. This group that has done this Alex Rider graphic novel series has done a fantastic job so far, I hope they go on to do the rest of the series.
