Secret History is a 20 volume conspiracy theory set against human history. It weaves historical episodes with the influence exerted by the war of several houses and their power icons. Originally publish in France it stimulates the mind like few comics do now a days. The translation misses the mark sometimes but overall satisfies the story and maintains a decent pace. There are enough references as footnotes to keep the different issues in context to each other and the text understandable. The art is also good and sets a good atmospherics for the story. A good read for those that are tire of the usual Marvel and DC stuff.
