Nice colors, lackluster story from Jason.

Mon Dieu! Perfecto, genial.
Podría parecer un defecto, pero una de las cosas que me encanta de Jason es que se recrea en sus obsesiones temáticas, una y otra vez trata los mismos temas profundamente humanos, y da igual que se hable de asesinos en serie o de viajes en el tiempo. Y con esos elementos, consigue sorprender siempre. Una vez terminado, me lo he vuelto a leer del tirón (otro de los placeres que me produce este autor, leer sus obras una y otra y otra vez).

Aquí, además de lo de siempre, añade a la mezcla unos cuantos ingredientes que me fascinan: Los tres mosqueteros, pasados por un buen baño de ciencia ficción con extraterrestres incluidos, trasladados a la actualidad... ¿qué puede salir mal?

Una mezcla explosiva, surrealista y entretenidísima para hablar de la tristeza de ser un héroe olvidado, de no encontrar tu sitio, de la vida.
Una historia redonda y creíble, humana, e incluso fiel a la original, con guiños a Los tres mosqueteros, pero también a Veinte años después o El Vizconde de Bragelonne.

I think this is my favorite Jason so far. Love the color work by Hubert, and the plot is a standout. I’ve never read The Three Musketeers, but turns out I didn’t need to in order to love this.

My favourite Jason graphic novel so far! The ridiculousness of it all is absolutely enchanting.

If new to Jason you should be reading 'Hey Wait...' or 'Why Are You Doing This?' before any others as I'm pretty sure they are his best works so far.

This is probably a more fun read than Athos's other appearance in 'Athos in America', and reads about as fast and comically as 'I Killed Adolf Hitler' but maybe with a bit less punch. Not sad enough for my liking! I do prefer his caricatures of writers to the musketeers, but I think he should keep trying, and maybe move into actors or directors in the future until he gets some solid characters.

I cannot describe why Jason is so awesome. But he is.

Another one I had to read again before giving it to a manga-loving young cousin. He's got to learn that it's not just the Japanese that do this well. Jason is a good place for him to start!
