Insiders Genesis #4

A steely-eyed woman levels a sniper rifle directly at the reader, a Colombian flag visible on a government building behind her and an explosion flaring in the background — it's an arresting opener for Insiders Genesis #4 from Dargaud. Titled Aux Ordres du Cartel, this 2014 volume by Bartoll and Brahy places high-stakes intrigue squarely in South American territory, where cartels and political power make for a volatile mix. The cover alone radiates cool, controlled tension — exactly the kind of espionage thriller this series does so well.
