Operative 1001 has managed to locate the hidden headquarters of the shadowy organization that is driving the world to the brink of war. But even if he manages to rescue Operator 5 and the other prisoners, what then? Locating the enemy is one thing, but stopping the enemy's plan is something else entirely.

    Codename Action is firing on all cylinders this month. Roberson delivers more of the fun and sleekness of the series in a big way with #4. If the final two issues are as good as this one, the finale will be huge. Read Full Review

    Codename: Action #4 ends with a late reveal and a cliffhanger that suggests Dr. Thorpe has his own agenda outside the plans of Hexagon as the mini-series moves into its final two issues with our heroes coming face-to-face with the series' true face of evil. Worth a look. Read Full Review

    This mediocre story is kept afloat by Jonathan Lau and Ivan Nunes's masterful interiors. The Three Stooges cameo was a nice touch, and perhaps a bit of a commentary on supervillan thugs around the world.
