Review: Sisco Volume 1 Shoot When You’re Told

As a fan of movies I’ve seen just about every film by some of Hollywood’s greatest actors. Take for instance Robert Redford, who has been one of the silver screen’s brightest stars. His movies have always been consistently good. Who can deny the re-watchability of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid? Few of his peers can match his consistency nor his longevity excluding those exceptional few.
One of those actors, who has been doing good work almost every outing is Clint Eastwood. Just like Redford, each movie has consistently gotten better. One of my favorites by him is one where’re he played a veteran Secret Service agent in the movie, In The Line Of Fire. In Benec and Thomas Legrain’s Sisco, we meet one Secret Service agent, with quite a reputation, one that gets him in trouble, in this first volume.
We meet Sisco Castiglioni, a government bodyguard, who thought he was going on his typical boring day, until he gets a special assignment, that changes his whole day, and possibly, life. He goes to meet a colleague of the President, his business becomes messy quickly, as he must find a witness who may make Sisco’s work, a national scandal. Eventually his coworkers get involved, in what becomes a deadly cat and mouse chase, which could leave another dead body. By book’s end, he finds out that the people he works is more corrupt than he initially thought and he must now decide which side of morality is he on.
Overall, an excellent comic that feels like the TV show Boss, but with a few more bad eggs. The story by Benec is action packed and intriguing. The art by Legrain is beautiful. Altogether, a great first volume to what looks to be not your typical political thriller.
