Based on the real-life story of intelligence operative Jan Neumann, who fled his native Russia and found himself marooned along with his wife in America.
As the Neumanns adjust to being strangers in a strange land, trying to work with the FBI and CIA, a mysterious man from their past begins a deadly hunt for them. The true story is captured by acclaimed comics scribe Ron Marz (Green Lantern, Witchblade) and hot new artist Marco Castiello, working closely with the Neumanns. In the espionage world, truth is literally stranger than fiction!
It's solidly done and you could do a regular series just going through his life and recruitment and how it unfolded from there with ease. It's well written and the book looks great in capturing so much of what's going on with his past across his journey. I really like the look of it here as it moves from the Hollywood style approach of the first issue to digging into the darker aspects of being a Russian spy in Russia itself. Read Full Review
