Summary: Absolutely, unbelievably good!!!!
Comment: Every once in a while a comics series comes along that is so far ahead of the curve, you wonder how anything else could possibly measure up. Ennis' Preacher is one. Ellis' Transmetropolitan is another. Queen & Country is definitely one of the greats!! This is one of those series that shows, in graet detail, that there is some incredibly strong writing going on in comics today. Rucka's dialogue and pacing are so spot on and realistic! This is a book that transceds the perception that comics are for kids and are of no real value as "literature". Rucka has created a stunning work of art with Queen & Country, one that is continually being perfected month after month.

Summary: THe name is Chase, Tara Chase
Comment: Greg Rucka is one of the authors, who can write believable Batman stories. Imagine how real he can get qithout the restrains of spandex-clad characters!
This is a realistic spy thriller, full of real life and politicla situations. This is le Carre of comic books, really.
Tara Chase is a British agent, sent to assasinate a rogue Russian general, who turned into an arms dealer.
This book doesn't give you high-reaching conspiracies and years-old secrets, the conflict plays out much like it would in real life. But it doesn't make it less exciting.
The art is very good. It seems cartoony at first, but it somehow manages to conway emotions very clearly, in fact, more clearly than realistic art, found in most action-adventure comics.
Queen & Country started as a mini-series, but was turned into an ongoing comics. After reading this, you'll see why it's so.
And you'll be glad, that there are other missions you can observe.

Summary: A comic book not for kids
Comment: Queen and Country by Greg Rucka is on my short list of Comics you should be reading right now but probably aren't. No super-powers or super-villains bent on world domination (except the ones CNN reports on), just a look at the fictional British secret espionage group the Minders. Protagonist Tara Chace is written like a real person whose job it is to go through extra-ordinary situations.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some may be slightly put off by the artwork. However, the art team is rotated with each story arc which gives each one its own feel.
