review 1: Misery. The Nihilist. Genocide. Pit Bull.This is the augmented spy company, Holden Carver is currently keeping. Based on those names are they the good guys or the bad guys? Fortunately for the reader, Ed Brubaker has Carver afloat in a sea of gray. He’s a deep undercover operative for John Lynch and International Operatives and he’s currently embedded in an organization run by the mysterious TAO. The problem is Lynch is in a coma and nobody else knows he’s one of the “good” guys.Brubaker creates a world of superheroes, powered up spies (Carver’s central nervous system has been “shut down”, he has a healing factor and any pain he feels can be weaponized and transferred to someone else) and effectively muddies the thin line between good and evil.There ... moreare rumors this is going to made into a film. If done right it would probably make a better TV series.This is a mature title so don’t leave it laying around for the kiddies to pick up.
review 2: Holden Carver is working undercover in Tao's organization to ferret out exactly what Tao is trying to do with his organization. We meet the fellow's that Carver is working with, their origin stories and Carver's contact--who ends up in a coma leaving Carver stuck in the organization. I had no idea what to expect here. I honestly wasn't even entirely sure what this was about when I started reading it as it was for a reading group. So glad I did though. I really enjoyed reading about Carver and finding out how people got their powers, watching Carver struggle through trying to get out, and his strange relationship with Miss Misery develop. I was not expecting the ending at all and I'm curious about where this is going. less
