Deflagrazione

by Vila, Miguel
Deflagrazione

From a promising young talent to a leading voice in Italian comics in Europe and the United States, Miguel Vila is a pure talent who continues to grow. After making a sensational debut with the “Trilogy of the Northeast,” the young author from Veneto is literally cooking up a bombshell for his debut in Coconino: Deflagrazione expands the narrative universe Vila has built up to this point until it “explodes,” maintaining its foundation in a merciless gaze on human relationships while developing an even more complex plot and venturing into the genre for the first time. Deflagrazione is a thriller with a “true crime” flavor—distinctly Italian and fiercely Po Valley in character.
