5.0 out of 5 stars
2008 Warren Ellis/Facundo Ellis sci-ft/espionage mini-series,
By
This review is from: Anna Mercury Volume 1: The Cutter (Paperback)
This collects the five issue 2008 Avatar Press creator-owned mini-series from writer Warren Ellis and artist Facundo Percio. Anna Mercury is a British secret agent tasked with preventing New Ataraxia from using a weapon of mass destruction (the titular "Cutter") against Sheol, a neighboring civilization. These combatants are on a parallel Earth that had been disturbed by our planet, and now Mercury "boomerangs" to and from this world for brief periods to mitigate the explosive effects. From his striking depictions of the main character to his detailed machines and cityscapes, Percio's art is exemplary and the highlight of this book. Ellis' fun, action-filled plot can also be viewed as a modern geopolitical allegory. He has created a strong character in an intriguing new world that merits further stories. The Volume 2 mini-series is in comic stores now.
