I don't need to tell you that the story is great fun and action because it seems to be a given and that may well be down to Lofficier controlling all of this so that the Hexagon universe is consistent and there are no continuity flaws. Reading this one I suddenly realised that it was like reading the American comics as a kid. A character is set on a path and then without warning ..another pops up and the story continues but there is an introduction of some kind so that youknow who the newcomer is. A good example of this was DCs All Star Squadron in the 1980s written by Roy Thomas and thses Golden Age characters would pop up and someone would say "I've heard of you" followed by their story if not origin being revealed. It's that kind of fun read.
Anthony Dugenest, a creator in his own right (Le Patrouilleur) works on the colours in this book and his colour style is recognisable. The colour adds more atmosphere and sets the scenes drawn by De La Torre which takes us through this veritable saga. Fun and action from cover to cover,
