Les Sentinelles

Xavier Dorison and Enrique Breccia collaborated on this four-issue Delcourt series from 2009 to 2014, a taut, self-contained saga that reimagines the classic superhero team through a dark, European lens. The story follows a group of extraordinary individuals bound by a mysterious, centuries-old pact, their powers and loyalties tested against a backdrop of political intrigue and personal cost. Breccia's expressive, almost painterly art grounds the high-concept premise in gritty, human detail, while Dorison's script weaves a dense, morally complex narrative. This compact run stands as a distinctive, mature take on the genre, offering a complete vision from a pair of creators at the height of their powers.
