Cyclops #4

Written by Matz
Art by Luc Jacamon

This series feels a little predictable, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.  Our man Pistoia, who has become the central star of an independent military reality show is becoming ever more suspicious of his corporate masters, but is at the same time becoming ever more complicit in their shady dealings.

He's beginning to question the purpose of the secret mission he was sent on a couple of issues back, especially in light of Multicorps' winning of another UN contract in Argentina (although his assertion that he speaks neither Turkish nor Spanish rings pretty false, as everyone knows a little Spanish).  While this is going on, he's being systematically seduced by a Multicorps press agent, and generally set up for blackmail.

Like I said, there's nothing particularly original or groundbreaking about this book, but the story is being told very well by Matz and Jacamon's work looks great.
