Oh my. What a great read. This is a spy espionage thriller in sequential art form. an MI5-like organisation working covert missions. There are three active agents, referred to as Minders - one through to three - with various overseers, and support staff. The stories are intricate, detailed and as readable as anything I’ve ever read. The artwork changes from arc to arc of the series. So each artist gets to put their own slant on the characters. At first this was a shock but once I got into the story, it ceased to have any bearing. Particularly enjoyed the final arc, illustrated by Leandro Fernandez. His style was to make the characters darker and used shadow to highlight (if that’s possible) the murky world of espionage. It worked deliciously well as the characters faces weren’t always wholly visible hinting at a half image of a face with the rest obscured by shadow. Just loved this. ( )

Hmmm. They've changed the cover and I can't seem to find the cover to my book online.

I enjoyed this series, but seriously did not like Fernandez's drawings for book 3 of the series. ( )
