![]() ![]() Despite an artistic shift halfway through (when Chace starts to look a little more like her impossibly proportioned superhero sisters), this is an engaging and gritty spy story for our forked up world (shout out to you, Kristen Bell and The Good Place) that, while not exactly escapist entertainment (too close to the headlines for that), functions really well as a simultaneously matter-of-fact and high-stakes day-in-the-life-of-a-secret-agent chronicle. Queen & Country is one of those books that people who used to read superhero books but don’t anymore and want to feel superior to their infantile funnybook-reading brethren like to tout, so I figured, snobbery of those few detestable individuals aside (*sniff*), I’d give it a shot. Sometimes I like to put on my big boy pants and read a grown-up comic that doesn’t feature people in codpieces laser eyeing each other in the gravity-defying bosoms. ![]()
