The writer Iban Zaldua said in the book’s presentation that the last victory is “a comic book,” which is not “a graphic novel,” that this concept is a mere marketing invention. That's why Zaldua won my respect. However, given that the two authors are “novices” without reading the comic book, it would be barbaric to judge it. I finally read it. I found it very good, both for the script and for the illustrations by Julen Ribas.

It is the result of Xabiroi magazine, to which the Basque comic book owes much Final Victory, TeleATOI by Dani Fano on Argia: Like hallucinogenic pumpkins.

But this work, fortunately, presents us with a more complicated, more mature story, to define it in some way. Set in 2052, history has as a protagonist Sigrid Frisch, a lieutenant who works in the German-controlled capital of the Nazis, who won the Second World War. Navel in the stomach (!) SS agents, children who can change their past, insurgency... An exciting ending gives meaning to all components
