Assassin's Creed - Templars #1

A shadowy, faceless figure in a black suit clutches a trumpet against a vivid red backdrop of hanging paper lanterns and Chinese characters — it's a striking, atmospheric image that sets a moody, globetrotting tone for this Templar-focused chapter of the *Assassin's Creed* universe. Fred Van Lente and Dennis Calero bring their talents to this French edition from Les Deux Royaumes, launching the *Black Cross* storyline with real stylistic flair. Fans of the franchise looking for a noir-tinged, conspiratorial edge will find plenty to intrigue them right from this opening issue.
