The first thing I should tell you about Trifecta is that if you haven't already read the comics individually, only the last four issues of this compilation were drawn by Jock (16-19). 13 and 14 were drawn by Nick Dragotta, and 15 by Ale Garza. Just a word of warning. It's not like these two guest artists don't have skills, its just that Jock's artwork is what first attracted me to the series, and its why I keep coming back. But the issues he does draw are fantastic, Jock really seems to be getting a hang of this, delivering artwork thats even more stylized and cool than previous issues, while avoiding problems like the repeating of facial expressions (can you say eye squint) that distracted a little in the first compliation. Diggle's story in 16-19 (which concerns the last disasterous mission of the losers) also delivers, dialogue and character development are excellent, I especially liked seeing pre-betrayal Roque. So to sum up, a little dissapointed by guest artist issues, but overall the quality of 16-19 make it a good compilation.

I'm missing volume three, but the other four (original trades) have been great. Looking forward to completing the set.

Yeah based on that title you can bet this was a banging book. We now begin to see how the Losers were formed and what drove them to hate Max! beautifully scripted, excellently drawn. A great series worthy of the accolades heaped on it. Have a meal,take a book, sit with a nice cool drink, have a blast. you ain't getting up for a while.
