I asked a friend some time back which Flemish comic series he would recommend, and without too much hesitation he named Jeremiah, an extended story about the odyssey of Jeremiah and his buddy Kurdy through a post-apocalyptic America. So I got this volume, whose title translates as "The Rifle in the Water" and then lost it for several years, finding it only the other day in a big household cleanup.
I have to say I wasn't hugely impressed. Jeremiah and show more Kurdy encounter an extended family in the swamps, all of them pretty awful people with a secret to hide (there's a rifle in the water, and more besides). Lots of shooting and conspiring, but it didn't hugely engage me. I should possibly have tried the story from the beginning - or else just skipped it entirely. show less

Arranque de una nueva serie con presentación del protagonista. Tengo debilidad por las historias de fuga y persecución, así que eso ya le da puntos a este tomo, que además, transmite muy bien la sensación de estar perdidos en la bruma con ese dibujo y color. Como defecto señalaría que igual debería cuidar un poco más la documentación (Los pictos no aparecieron hasta mucho después del 84 y un legionario como el protagonista no era nada excepcional en aquel entonces) pero no es un show more detalle que deba pesar tanto en una obra de ficción como esta. show less
Una historia entre costumbrista y negra —con un punto "Simenoniano"— en la que un incidente trivial escala en una espiral de violencia. Buena colaboración entre Van Hamme y Hermann al los que basta con una expresión y un par de frases para caracterizar a los personajes e identificar a cada uno pese que que son una multitud.
Un western post-apocalíptico en el estilo de Jeremiah (Incluso se puede ver un cameo de este con Kurdy y Esra) Una historia negra en un tono muy pesimista como suelen ser las últimas obras de Hermann, bien contada y con una atmósfera inquietante.
