Ellis is a master of writing espionage. But, his newest creation, Jack Cross, a Homeland Security operative by day, who can get information out of anyone and a peacenik hippie by night, trying to overthrow big corporate America is a little bit of a stretch. That is until the last powerful page of issue 1. Then it all made sense.
The sequential art is all wrong, however. For example, a CCTV scene where an operative goes rogue, killing his own team- the bodies keep reappearing and disappearing in each panel. It would be considered an Ed Wood type of error if done on film. Better work on that is needed by either Ellis or the artist, Gary Erskine.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
