After traveling through time via reviews on historical comics, JustFocus crosses borders with Millenium Saga, the girl who never let go. You liked the book. You loved the film and if you let yourself be tempted by the comic?
An explosive end
In Sweden, Plague, Trinity and Bob the Dog were captured but Michael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander managed to track down their friends. They were captured by Sparta, a racist and xenophobic group, but what are they trying to do? The different plot threads woven since the first volume come together and tighten in this last volume. The creative team has remained the same since the first volume with Sylvain Runberg on the script and Belén Ortega on the drawing.
Only new?
We find the duo of investigators Mickael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander in this new sequel to the cult saga of Stieg Larsson. Hysterical Lisbeth acts for her loved ones and uses her hacking skills to foil populist plots. Beyond the characters, we see thematic links to the novel – conspiracies in the state, the defense of democracy, espionage and the role of computers.
This detective story is well crafted and gripping. Sparta, a terrorist group, threatens to reveal the existence of the Swedish surveillance program designed to spy on its neighbors. The screenwriter also slips the fight against the extreme right in Sweden, the fictional group Freedom.
A rhythmic narrative
This third volume closes the story with a lot of action. The drawing is very effective by a varied and classic framing. The colors are initially dark, around brown and gray, to lighten over the denouement. However, we can find that the dialogues are vulgar for no reason and that the very current story is not very original.
Dupuis hits hard with the end of this unpublished sequel. The reader therefore finds with pleasure the characters and the atmosphere in a lively but less dense story than the novel.
