Pfiou je pensais que c’était la fin mais non pas du tout. Par contre j’avoue j’ai un peu peur pour l’existence de la suite parce que aucune single issue en anglais a ce que je sache… donc ça a l’air mal parti. Peut-être que les créateurs sont occupés ailleurs. A voir. 

Sinon j’ai toujours autant aimé. Mais je dois avouer que j’ai du aller voir vite fais la fin du tome 1 pour me souvenir. Mais de nouveaux secrets sont dévoilés, j’avais peur que ce soit répétitif mais non, en plus il y a de bons retournements de situation. J’espère honnêtement qu’on arrivera au temps présent du comics. 

Les personnages sont cools. Voir autant de persos lgbt et une femme trans sans que ce soit forcément le point focal c’est plutôt cool. 

Bref, mystère, actions, émotions, retournement de situation… il y a clairement ce qu’il faut pour un bon livre. J’ai aussi aimé le style artistique. 

Un point en moins pour le commentaire biphobe/homophobe d’un des persos
