Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the hard-hitting tale of espionage and betrayal THE LOSERS: ANTE UP, an elite U.S. Special Forces unit is targeted for assassination when they unintentionally uncover the illegal and immoral practices of the C.I.A. Believed dead and with nothing to lose, the team of wet works operatives regroup and begin a mission of revenge against the organization that betrayed them. Only as the team goes after a corrupt oil conglomerate with ties to the C.I.A., do they truly begin to realize the depths of the conspiracy they have discovered and the impossible odds of survival that they face. SUGGESTED FOR MATURE READERS.

Great stuff! What would normally be a 500 page political/action thriller in hardback is packed into a graphic novel. Great artwork that suspends the need for the usual descriptive verbiage, as it fills in all the blanks between the words. All the dialogue is pertinent to the story line (some graphics I've read spend pages on inane, useless dialogue that bogs the story down). Very topical story line. I'm not a huge sci fi, super hero, supernatural fan, so this series really meets my need for "reality". I'm totally looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Highly recommended for old geezers like me who are just getting their feet wet in the graphic novel arena.
