The Losers: Double Down (Volume Two)

Rating:
Summary: One of the Top 5 Comic Books of 2004
Review: This is "Hollywood Blockbuster" done right. The A-Team with a Three Kings edge, Andy Diggle writes intelligent action entertainment better than anyone, and his cynical take on world affairs gives this series a realistic, sharp edge that's missing from most other stories in this genre. The characters may be a bit generic, but like a B-movie with A-list actors, Diggle's scripting lifts each of them above their stereoypical cores. And Jock? His jagged, bombastic artwork evokes the hyperactivity of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. The Losers is my high-octane, not-feeling-the-least-bit-guilty pleasure every month and this collection of issues 7-12 is the perfect way to get a healthy dose of one of the best ongoing series in comics today.
