review:
'The Keeper, Vol. 1: The Angel of Malta' by Yves Sente with illustrations by Francois Boucq is an appealing premise, but never really feels like it gets off the ground in this volume.

The story starts with a young man named Vince helping out with a clandestine purchase. Things go a little sideways and we see that he has the kind of calm and skills to get him noticed by the Vatican. They want him for a special job and offer him a promotion.

While the first half of the book up to the promotion is not bad, the latter half just gets muddled. The font is weird to read and there is a lot of text. I realize it's setting things up for a story arc, but it lost my interest. The art isn't bad, but that font was just not reader friendly.

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.
