Reviews

Has all the elements of the Jason Bourne saga: good action, intrigue, smart dialogue, and likeable characters. Ennio Bufis artwork is gorgeous, a mix of the contrasts and shadows of Jock and the vivid, sweeping imagery of Bill Sienkiewicz. Bufi is an artist readers can only hope to see more of. - BORG.com

"Deftly scripted, beautifully illustrated ... an inherently riveting read from cover to cover" - Midwest Book Review

"The art, drawn by Bufi, is beautiful during the slow moments but absolutely comes to life during the action scenes ...When bullets are fired and punches are thrown, the audience can feel it" - But Why Tho

"An action-packed thriller that feels like a cross betweenHomecomingandHomeland.The storyGuillaume Dorisonis enthralling and well developed. The art byEnnio Bufiis gorgeous" - Graphic Policy

Fast, gritty and with the historical nature it really makes for a reading like no other ... The art feels like Jock at his best, the story feels like a Bourne-movie and the Vietnam War era adds that soldier-UNfortune feeling - Comics For Sinners
