    Caught and put to work as an on-call assassin for the French government, Killer has to adjust to working with a handler, his new partner Nicolas, a former special forces operative, and living life as a civilian. A network of city-wide corruption awaits, getting Killer even more involved in the midst of an escalating crisis, when he just wants to get back to his nihilistic lifestyle. But, as feeling for a coworker arise in his day job, will Killer be dangerously distracted, torn between two identities? The Eisner Award-nominated series starring everyone’s favorite nameless assassin by artist Luc Jacamon and writer Matz (The Black Dahlia) makes its long awaited return! Collects The Killer: Affairs of the State #1-6.
    In 1998, Matz’s hit series, The Killer, with artist Luc Jacamon, made its comic book debut. It became a bestseller that found its way onto the shelves of bookstores in many countries, all the way to the USA with Archaia. It was then optioned by Paramount for a movie that has drawn the interest of director David Fincher ("The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"). Matz has also created a new line of comic books, Rivages/Casterman/Noir, which are adaptations of noir novels. But Matz’s day job for the last 15 years has been to write for the videogame industry, as he has been an employee at Ubisoft. Now in charge of the writing department, Matz has been involved with games such as “Splinter Cell,” “Ghost Recon,” “Rainbow Six,” “Prince of Persia,” and the “Assassin’s Creed” series.
