Lincoln McCord and Prince Adony Zaruka are two American con men living abroad in Europe, posing as an oil magnate and the descendant of long-lost royalty to live the high life by leeching off the European elite. But when an international thief begins wreaking havoc on their marks, the deceivers are enlisted by a rogue CIA agent to help entrap him.
Ultimately this is a hard issue to review because going into too much detail on what I liked about it would also spoil the issue for anyone who has not read it yet. Suffice to say Lincoln hooks up with Patrice Andauer and Janez Nikovic (Nicky) over the course of this issue and they end up mixed up in a plot involving the international thief known only as Ulysses. Cryptic, I know, but believe me, if you like intrigue and suspense mixed in with some action wrapped up in a knife-sharp plot this is a comic you should be checking out. Read Full Review
This book is not bad, but it is not good either. It falls with plenty of other comics that are just average. The plot and dialogue feel like it could belong on any number of USA Network shows. The art helps power the book through the many pacing issues of the book. When there are so many comic books on the shelf currently its not a stretch to say there is probably a better book sitting right next to this one. Read Full Review
