It only lost 1 star because I felt the ending was a bit abrupt and the overall story/series could've actually used maybe two more issues to make the narrative pace feel a bit less rushed. This cat-and-mouse, or really cat-and-cat, chase was dynamic, interesting and actually in the end, quite emotional.

When the dust settles on a risibly OTT action scene, we see the British superstyled secret agent concerned, who turns out to be someone who could have walked out of the Kingsman series, via Ennis' The Boys.I can’t wait for people to see it and wanted to share a couple of the images we’ve been putting together for the comic-book side of the project.
