THE KILLER... an assassin in a crisis

From 1998 to 2013, the French writer Matz and the illustrator Luc Jacamon told an epic story of an unassuming man who kills people for money. But as he does so, he begins to question what he's doing and why he's doing it.

In this week's episode, we'll take a look at the entire saga of "The Killer." Overwhelming in scope and ambition, Matz and Jacamon aren't content with just detailing their eponymous killer's inner workings. In fact, it seems as if they quickly bore of what seemingly starts as a psychological portrait of a man lacking in all empathy. As the narrative unwinds, Matz and Jacamon use the assassin's jobs as a way to ruminate on man's adherence to violence. The result is as frustrating as it is intriguing.
