Product Description: Queen & Country, the Eisner Award-winning and critically lauded espionage series from acclaimed novelist and comic book author Greg Rucka, is back in a new series of definitive editions collecting the entire classic series in just four affordable soft covers. In this second collection, SIS field agent Tara Chase is put through the ringer as she must contend with espionage of the industrial kind, ghosts from her director's past, and politicians eager to use the service to their own ends!
More Queen & Country I absolutely love this format. It's portable, and it's packed with stories. For a "Definitive" edition I would have liked some more behind the scenes work, concept art and the like, but it's good enough. The story is gripping as always. My only complaint is the art. While I like seeing the different artistic representations, and the art does always click, it's sometimes jarring to try to re acclimate yourself to the characters at the beginning of each arc. I finally do, and it only takes the end of the first issue now since I know the voices of the characters, but it can be annoying for new readers.
