Pigs #1


Image continues to crank out the good stuff when it comes to your non-superhero comic fare. Pigs is about a KGB sleeper cell from Cuba from the Bay of Pigs era awakened today. The mystery surrounds why the agents are activated today, and what their mission is. The cliffhanger at the end is all you'll really need to be convinced to keep getting the series, but don't overlook the gritty, definitely adult dialog. The real meat of this book lies in that dialog. Well written like the best Hollywood crime movie, with enough unique characters to keep you entertained. The art is a little weak to me. Fits the tone of the book, but just seems unfinished in certain parts. I could've gone for more realism in that regard. But it's not so distracting that you won't be able to enjoy the story. Worth checking out if you're a fan of political/action thrillers.
