This was a marginally interesting graphic novel. I liked that it was based on a true story, as it made it all the more creepy. I loved the detail in the illustrations and appreciated that they included the gore. The story itself progressed in kind of a weird way and I didn't like the relationship between the Interpol agent and the P.I., but I think that was because I didn't see the need for a romantic side story. I also felt like there was something missing from the story and that we didn't have an essential backstory. Overall, it was good and interesting, but nothing fantastic.

Another successful graphic novel by Europe Comics.
In his first edition of Interpol we are taken into the dark criminal world of Mexico where corruption and drug funded ruthless gangs oversee law and order.
A serial killer is at work; his preferred method of dispatch is decapitation. Sadly this mirrors how drug traffickers deal with the competition and obstacles in the way. A Mexican woman’s headless body does little to motivate the local police. However, a number of foreign women are missing and when these victims turn up Interpol are dispatched in the form of agent Clare Burnell. She joins forces with a local personal investigator, Pablo Tikal who although less than conventional and not expressive with the truth they hold on to a loose alliance.
It is a thrill driven story packed with violent scenarios and a rising body count.
I liked the flashes of humour and dark elements of earthy violence that overwhelm the narrative. This is supplemented by terrific images of gun violence and gang intervention.
The overall package is a terrific crime thriller, well produced and aptly suited for this medium of a graphic novel. It also sets up the series as both main characters have unrevealed elements and each carry the story well. I would like to spend time with either in future comics and crime episodes that follow.

Interpol by Script by Philippe Thirault / Art by Marty.
A highly dubious investigation in the heat and humidity of Mexico's badlands. When headless women's bodies are found all across Mexico City, Interpol agent Clare Burnell faces the indifference of the local police and the ultra-violence of gangs of drug traffickers. Her only choice is to team up with Pablo Tikal, a P.. whose methods are as effective as they are unorthodox.
A fantastic read. I loved the story. Very gruesome. The artwork was brilliant. Loved it. 5*.
