Cover goes to Paris as Max is sent to the iconic Angoulême International Comics Festival, where he is about to receive their highest award. But did he earn it...or is it all part of an international spy cover operation? As the worlds of spycraft and comics clash in ways Max could never have imagined, his life-and more importantly, his artwork-begin to collapse around him! Don't miss the latest chapter of this fierce new comic by the Inkpot, Peabody and Eisner Award-winning talents of Brian Michael Bendis and David Mack (SUPERMAN, Kabuki, Jessica Jones)!
Coverremains one of the more remarkable books I've read this year. An instant classic built from a blend of spiritualism and realism, the absurd and the commonplace. Read Full Review

Cover #3 is odd. On the one hand its just one of the most beautiful books DC is putting out right now. On the other its one of the most poorly written. It feels as though Bendis has a key idea of what he wants the story to be and is relying on Mack far too heavily to get it across.

-I really liked the opener to the issue. Ninja Sword Odyssey is a comic that I feel I would actually read, were it real.
-I liked the Sad-Astronaut too.
-I have liked the format of the last two issues a lot, where Essad is interrogating Max, as he recalls his work with Julia to him.
-I found this to be a very funny issue. I laughed a lot.
-Bendis just perfectly summed up the magic of comic cons and the importance of fans. I was really blown away by that monologue.
-It's nice to see the posi more
