Jonathan Hickman is certainly busy these days, right? Add a new book! He has. This new book from Image Comics is all about the secret, spy-like ways an evil group of baddies can outwit the good guys. Granted, the good guy in this issue is the head of a Washington, D.C. company...and aren't CEO's the new enemy these days? So it's a bit far from the super hero world of Fantastic Four that Hickman usually plays in...and that's kind of the problem; it's boring. The art, by Ryan Bodenheim, is good, fairly realistic and pedestrian...but I couldn't tell the characters apart and thus the last page reveal fell on deaf ears. The colors are also super awkward; most panels are done in only one color. Not sure what the point is but it certainly doesn't make the book look good. All in all it's a not-needed, barely there new book. Aren't first issues supposed to knock it out of the park? Guess I'm spoiled by Saga. **
