Jagten på Kybele-statuen fører Alix’ sønner Titus og Khephren til templet i Pessinus i Lilleasien, hvor Khephren vil tvinge dørene op til gudindens helligdom, der bevogtes af kastratpræster, som har hengivet sig til hende, indviet med deres eget blod. Khephren er overbevist om, at hans skæbne er knyttet til statuen, som er støbt i det mystiske metal orikalkum, og vil for enhver pris finde frem til den. Sammen med Alix og Titus ender han i Zeus-Amon-oasen i den ægyptiske ørken, men der viser sig at stå meget mere på spil, end han aner, da en uventet kamp når sit klimaks mellem mumier, røvere og den skjulte guds tjenere i en dunkel nekropol.Alix Senator er blevet kaldt for en reboot af den überklassiske sværd-og-sandal-tegneserie Alix, skabt af Jacques Martin (1921-2010) i 1948, som i et vist omfang har været udgivet på dansk i tidens løb. Alix Senator er ikke bare en ”ny Alix”, snarere en anden Alix, mere elegant, mere taktisk, en mere logisk og moralsk arving. Cobolts udgivelse af Alix Senator omfatter – til forfatterens udelte begejstring – to originale album i hvert bind, og der udkommer to nye bind om året.Ekstra: Minileksikon over historiske personer, steder og begivenheder.Om seriens skabereDen franske forfatter Valérie Mangin (f. 1973) er latinist, historiker og kunsthistoriker uddannet på den elitære École des chartes og har skrevet manuskript til en lang række tegneserier. Lige så meget som spændingselementer elsker hun at jonglere med historiske, politiske og kulturelle spillebrikker i et manuskript til en eventyrlig historie og at pille ved populærkulturens koder. Tegneren Thierry Démarez (f. 1971 i Paris) har altid været optaget af at tegne og male og har udfoldet sig inden for mange kunstneriske discipliner, skulptur, skalamodeller, malerkunst og scenografi. Efter at have uddannet sig som scenograf arbejdede han for det prestigefulde franske nationalteater, Comédie Française. I 2006 blev han endda leder af det scenografiske værksted, men parallelt begyndte han at tegne tegneserier, i 2004 mødte han Valérie Mangin, med hvem han skabte sin første tegneserie. I 2001 genoptog de samarbejdet, og har siden lavet en lang række i serien Alix Senator. Démarez har forladt nationalteatret og koncentrerer sig nu udelukkende om at tegne tegneserier.
