review:
'The Mighty Return of Ric Hochet: R.I.P. Ric!' by Zidrou with art by Simon Van Liemt is based on a Franco Belgian comic first published in the 1950s. It's not a comic I was familiar with, but I had no trouble getting in to spirit of things.
Ric Hochet is a crack news reporter who is good at uncovering crime. Because of that, he's made enemies along the way. One has a plan to impersonate him and frame him for a murder. The criminal has gone to great lengths and time to learn all there is to know. Along the way, past adventures are referenced. The culmination is an ending that shows the lengths to which the revenged will go.
I liked this action comic throwback to another era. The original comic was featured in the Belgian Magazine Tintin, and there are a few clever references along the way. I've never read the original, so I don't know how close this one is, but it's a fun romp.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
