  I grabbed the 1st 5 issues of the 1st arc, and wow Greg Rucka killed it with his writing. He always writes great material, and this was no exception a great read. The art by Leandro Fernandez art works perfect for the style of the story. 9 out of 10 and can't wait for the 2nd arc in a few months. The tpb is a must buy.

  The Old Guard offers us a VERY interesting and unique mix of a Black Ops type soldier group action story with a bit of fantasy lore! The result is a very gripping tale filled with action, betrayal, and love. Rucka does a fantastic job world building and how exactly these seemingly "immortal" characters have survived for thousands of years and really pulls you in with the challenges they face in a tech savvy world of today. The tension he builds as the main "villain" unfolds his plans is fantastic and keeps the reader hooked very well. Even if some of the twists and turns are a little bit cliché. The art reminds me a ton of Steve Dillon especially his work on Preacher which I absolutely love. The only gripe I have with the art is in some of the more hectic action sequences its a bit easy to get lost and not really know what is going on very clearly. If you're into a black ops military action book with a fantasy twist I can't recommend The Old Guard enough! more
