RED - Warren Ellis & Cully Hammer

Warren's stuff is always worth a read and this was fun. It's got hardly anything to do with the movie. It's only got 4 characters with speaking roles; Moses, Sally (the girl he phones) an the two CIA guys.

Essentially he's marked for death by the new CIA director and comes straight for them after offing the hit team that they send his way. There's nothing else to it ereally. Lots of killing, lots of explosions and some typically nifty dialogue. It's not the most advanced thing Warren has written but it's not measnt to be.
The art is solid and reminds me of the Hellblazer I read yesterday (Hooked). 3 issues of mayhem and madness and carnage. A hell of a way to start a sunday.
