XIII Mystery, Tome 4 : Colonel Amos

This is the fourth volume in a series that explores and further defines some important characters in the first cycle of the french graphic novel series XIII. While the main series had a one writer/one artist team for the whole duration, this spin-off has a different writer/artist team for each volume. In this case the writer is Didier Alcante and the artist is François Boucq, a favorite of mine. In the story Alcante has us follow the Coronel has he attempts to find our who an important Israeli spy is, and as he is in turn investigated himself and protects a family he never suspected he had. It is quite run of the mill stuff in a spy thriller, but it reads OK. Boucq also deliver and the art is quite nice. It was a fun, if somewhat predictable, read.
