XIII has freed a country, exposed a traitor, reunited with his wife… and found his father. As he deals—somewhat against his will—with the aftermath of the revolution in Costa Verde, Sean Mullway recounts for him his family’s history: Irish immigrants, remorseless Mafiosi, Mexican gold, and three silver watches. New answers will also bring new questions and a whole new set of potential enemies just as old ones come back to the fore.
Ahh, this probably has to be the best European comic book (or Bandes Dessinee) thriller. There’s a touch of the Spaghetti Western in this one but don’t let that fool you for a minute. The action and plot twists are still there as we learn more about XIII –but being surrounded by hostile troops on a bridge that’s about to be blown up..maybe he’s pushed his luck a little too far?
