Queen and Country 1-4

Greg Rucka is very good at this secret agent stuff.  Tara Chace is basically Jessica Jones;  Someone who’s good at what they do, but a total wreck at home, drowning her troubles in alcohol.  This first story is completely arresting and speeds along.  If only the art by Steve Rolston was better.

Queen and Country: Declassified v1 1-3

A flashback series to when Paul Crocker was still an active agent.  This one’s a failed mission where the defector he’s tasked with helping gets shot at the border.
