"General Carrington, in the name of POTUS I arrest you for complicity in murder, conspiracy against the state and HIGH TREASON!"

Is it Dick Cheney? No, it's the new Secretary of Defense, Calvin Wax with the new Chief of Staff, "Butcher" Standwell. Carrington can look forward to a show-trial ... and the electric chair.

Carrington accuses Calvin of being the "brain" of it all, while Calvin reveals that he's a member of the American Enterprise Institute (actually not).

But he does reveal that his intention is to go for WWIII ASAP.

"President Galbrain, everything is ready, sir. Did I mention that you have new security detail?"

"Things will be made clear to you in a few moments. Shall we go in?"

"You have no way to survive. Make your time!"

Bad news: The office is primed to explode.

Seems like Dabel Brothers has issued Vol 1-3 in one go. The above are from Volume 5.

Fuck yeah! I love XIII. I recently began collecting it and have 6 comics so far, plus "The XIII Mystery" aka "The Investigation" with a overview of all the persons and happenings that happend so far.

I love how the artist draws his figures, Carrington looks like Lee Marvin, Heideger looks like Henry Kissinger, The both Sheridans are modeld after JFK and his brother Robert and in "The XIII Mystery" you can see all the 20 traitors and one of them looks like Bruce Willis and another like John Kerry.

I can highly recommend this comic. The story is a political thriller that hollywood couldnt do better and all the relactions to real life events and happenings make the comic really realistic.

So, if you have the chance to get it, then do it.
