Queen & Country: Definitive Edition Vol. 1

Every so often, I'll buy a trade on a whim. No real knowledge of the subject matter involved, or very vague if that. Luckily, since I stopped listening to what the crazy comic shop guy was suggesting to me (Evil Ernie was the last straw!), I've mostly been going on my own intuition. This volume was definitely worth it. I've really liked alot of what Greg Rucka has done, and this being some of his less restricted work, it was just excellent. This volume contains issues 1-12, which is 3 story arcs, or operations, and a little section at the back of concept sketches from the various artists that worked on it. The comic was originally in black and white, so don't get to bewildered over that. It follows the British special ops under MI6, and various operations that they undertake. For the most part, we look at Tara Chance, who is Minder Two (there are 3 minders, or agents or whatever you'd like to call them). I really liked the art on the first two stories, but the last artist I was not so much a fan of. The only other downside is that Rucka is not always consistent in writing a British voice, but he does get better as the stories progress.
