Finally we get to learn the truth of the Scorpion’s birth and what this means for the families that have held the wealth and power of Rome for centuries.
The Scorpion has been captured by the odious Tiberio and Mejai tries, but fails, to follow. With Hussar injured, the Scorpion must face his fate alone, and yet what he encounters is not what he expected, and he is instead propelled down a different path and headlong into a confrontation with the Trebaldis that will settle the question of his birth once and for all.
What with injuries, political manoeuvring, long-held grudges, leper guards and ever-deperate measures from all sides, this volume cranks up the tension all the way though to the final page. Cleverly crafted by Desberg and with fantastic art by Marini, this is one of comicdom’s greatest books. The colouring alone contributes massively to the books atmosphere, so scenes such as the clash within St Peter's Basilica are all the more powerful. If you’re not reading it you should be.
And if you liked that: Desberg is also responsible for writing Cinebook’s IR$
