Super-strong, highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy metahuman abilities, the Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as Leviathan's chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission...and Talia al Ghul won't take no for an answer. Collects issues #1-6 of the new series!

    Festival I have to confess not been a fan of Romita Jr art. I love Romita Senior, but was never attracted by Junior. Even if my taste have a little changed with time, I still have some issue with him. I recognize is work & it's just a matter of taste, so it's not fair at all, but that keep me to buy this comics. That and the sentiment that will be a female Punisher and nothing more.
    But I see good french review and this title is one of the new age to survive the cut. So I decide to try it in TPB.
    I find it interesting but close to what I read with Lady Killer. I even find some of the last Deathlok ongoing material for the writing.
    For DC I would tell she is close to what I read with Manhunter (Kate Spencer) ongoing. That fine but in the same time she kind of miss something. A signature. And that not the Metal name on the cover who will put that. For now I don't see what's the link (Maybe as Duck her power, or maybe her nanotech outfit ?). In truth I think this story could have been written in any New52 waves without a problem.
    That said Abnett do good stuff, not really original but he write it very well. I prefer her story to what I read with Domino lately.
    For the art Romita Jr make sure to put strong layout & panel. He have more facility for action than Bogdanovic.
    Bogdanovic did what he can, but he didn't play in the same area than Romita. It's nice, I read it with pleasure, but even if his style is close to Capullo, he is not Capullo. I don't know if I will take the next TPB yet. Will see.
