Vi la serie con Stuart Townsend y un amigo me sugirió que "leyera el cómic" por supuesto no se equivocaba. El diseño es como antiguo y vintage y con un detalle precioso que los comics actuales parecen haber olvidado porque nadie dibuja en tinta de verdad. Me encantó definitivamente voy a seguir la serie de cómics

Beautiful art--it's like a 1970's fashion catalogue sprung to life and pulled guns. the backgrounds and vehicles are particularly impressive: clean and precise as a draftsman's. The story is plucked from the original Bourne Identity, but the writing is much crisper and more moving than Ludlum's aimless, sprawling volumes. I did feel the translation was a bit stilted--not as good as other Franco-Belgian comics I've enjoyed--but it was one of those rare cases in which an interesting, well-paced story made up for lackluster dialogue and the occasional overly-lengthy bit of exposition.

Fun story, I'm curious to see if the big reveals will be as interesting as the clues we're getting, or if this will eventually turn into another rambling soap with no satisfying end, like LOST, Battlestar Galactica, or X Files.
