  "La mummia" (The Mummy) is finally another good story of the detective of nightmares. A new killing spree hit London; seemingly random people are being killed and their blood is used to write hieroglyphs around their body. They call themselves the children of Seth. When suddenly the killings become more intense and more often, Dylan Dog is hired by a young woman named Plenty, whose sister Glenn had just been killed. Dylan Dog tries to understand what is going on by getting information from experts about who Seth even is, and what the killings could mean. When Lord Cavendish, a rich enthusiast of Egyptian (and other) archaeological findings, is killed, Bloch is unable to stop him from sniffing around the mansion. That's where he finds a secret room, where he makes a close encounter with a mummy that has forgotten how to die...
  
  A great book, only held back by its brief duration. I hope they will somehow, somewhen continue the story started here, because while the main plot is solved by the end and the killings are stopped, there is still much to see about the "Children of Seth" and the Mummy named Nectas that gives the issue its title, but is seen only a couple of times in total.
  Still, I can definitely recommend this, as one of the good issues.

  Omicidi a rotta di collo sembrano causati da una setta di pazzi fanatici dediti all’adorazione del dio egizio Seth.. Dylan Dog e Scotland Yard cercano di far luce sulla faccenda e di arrestare i responsabili..
  
  “La mummia” è diventato subito uno dei miei episodi preferiti dell’indagatore dell’incubo. I tratti sono quelli del giallo e del thriller, ma c’è anche parecchia voglia di splatter e qualche piccola punta di horror.. molti dialoghi ma anche parecchio ritmo. Ironia a non finire e pure diverse auto-citazioni dello stesso fumetto, le quali non risultano sfacciate ma divertenti. Consigliato a tutti gli appassionati come il sottoscritto.

  Un buon volume, con una storia interessante seppur con un colpo di scena finale forse prevedibile.
  
  Disegni non al top.
