I'm a huge Marvel fan. And because I usually pick up the comics, I wanted to read something different for once - which was when Triptych showed up. It was my first Marvel novel, and it was so much fun. Marvel and a good heist story - count me in. The reader meets Fantomex, a former super-soldier and master thief who stumbles upon some of his clones. Trying to outplay one of them, Cluster, he decides to beat her at stealing priceless artefacts. Just that these are a little more special than he probably thought - they are infused with nanotechnology, something Fantomex is indeed familiar with. Turns out, Fantomex and Cluster aren't the only ones looking for these relics. What was initially an intriguing play turned deadlier game, and far more is at stake there. Triptych is a fast-paced novel that brings up moral questions and throws in some outstanding storytelling. I have to admit, I was well more aware of other X-men characters than Fantomex. But I think this is why I loved reading this book in the end. I didn't know what to expect in the beginning, except what was stated in the blurb. I enjoyed Fantomex' snarky attitude. And even though this is a Fantomex story, it felt like none of the other characters came too short. Johnson has a great way of telling a story and keeping you engaged from page one to the last. The way humour was mixed with seriousness was brilliant. With this book, you get an incredibly written heist story, combined with heartfelt and funny moments and some fabulous characters you can only love.
