More book Gavroche comics. I’ll try and post more often this year!
Aaah yay! I love the wet street, and the rain effects! And the angle is perfect for this interaction. (Also Gavroche is forever the besssst.)

The reason I love Javert as the antagonist in Les Miserables is that he acts a lot like the protagonist. Most villains in stories show themselves as evil like killing innocents and craves power. Javert, however, doesn’t want that. Javert believes he hunts down a criminal because he is dangerous. He is a monarchist and defends his belief. He follows the law by the book and believes it is the right thing to do. I love antagonists like them. It shows that even though you think that something is righteous, doesn’t mean that everyone else should think so as well.

[Javert was] a spy of the first quality, who had observed everything, listened to everything, heard everything, and recollected everything, believing he was about to die; who spied even in his death throes, and who, leaning on the first step of the grave, had taken notes.
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, Chapter X, Book 5
I’M LAUGHING SO HARD, OH MY GOD
VALJEAN IS THE ENTIRE REASON JAVERT GOT TRANSFERRED TO PARIS
Therefore, Valjean is indirectly responsible for Javert getting a promotion. Which is fucking hilarious, because if we rewind a few books to when Javert was trying to get himself dismissed, we get this line from Valjean (Then the mayor):
“Javert, you deserve promotion instead of degradation.”
AND VALJEAN ACCIDENTALLY GETS HIM PROMOTED

When Jean Valjean, on the evening of the very day when Javert had arrested him beside Fantine’s death-bed, had escaped from the town jail of M. sur M., the police had supposed that he had betaken himself to Paris. Paris is a maelstrom where everything is lost, and everything disappears in this belly of the world, as in the belly of the sea. No forest hides a man as does that crowd. Fugitives of every sort know this. They go to Paris as to an abyss; there are gulfs which save. The police know it also, and it is in Paris that they seek what they have lost elsewhere. They sought the ex-mayor of M. sur M. Javert was summoned to Paris to throw light on their researches. Javert had, in fact, rendered powerful assistance in the recapture of Jean Valjean. Javert’s zeal and intelligence on that occasion had been remarked by M. Chabouillet, secretary of the Prefecture under Comte Angles. M. Chabouillet, who had, moreover, already been Javert’s patron, had the inspector of M. sur M. attached to the police force of Paris. There Javert rendered himself useful in divers and, though the word may seem strange for such services, honorable manners.
While on the subject of different Javerts, I think it’s needless to say I was not enthralled with Russell Crowe’s performance
