Le Syndrome de Hyde #1

A tense, cinematic opener from Delcourt, Le Syndrome de Hyde #1 — subtitled Traque ("Hunt") — arrives in 2007 with a cover that means business: a bald, masked figure in a dark jacket strides forward, pistol in hand, backed by a wall of flame-tinged light that makes the whole scene crackle with menace. The creative team of Corbeyran, Guérineau, Defali, and Hédon sets an immediately gripping mood, promising a thriller steeped in pursuit and danger. If you're drawn to stylish European action comics with a noir edge, this first volume is a compelling place to start.
