It’s that time again. Bahlactus bangs his hammer and we rise to the bell.

Comics don’t have to be about overgrown freaks in capes and tights. Queen & Country consistently proves this by telling excellent spy stories. Greg Rucka explores the high stakes world of international espionage without resorting to the laser-wristwatch camp of middle-period Bond. Tara Chace, top secret agent for Britain’s Special Section, gets the job done with grit and intelligence. Its a great comic and this is but one example of her putting her close quarters combative training to good use by mixing it up with this poor schmuck.
