For quick-read spy thriller, Queen and Country can't be beat. Unfortunately, in this volume, Greg Rucka'a spot-on pacing and great dialog is mired in the shitbag that is Leandro Fernandez's art. To be fair, Q&C is always a mixed bag (who on earth thought that poor Bryan O'Malley could do a spy book) as far as the art is concerned, but what is particularly galling about this volume is the fact that Fernandez is not without skill. He's got a dab hand with a charicature, and he does okay drawing details he likes, which translates into guns and tits. He's given Tara Chance a rack that seems like it's about to snap her equally unlikely three inch waist at any moment, especially when she's jumping around shooting people. Tara is a well-written, strong female character, and it jars to see her turned into a generic armed fuckdoll. Q&C might not be high art, no matter how topical it is. But it's written really well, and it's just a damned shame to see characters that you care about drawn this poorly. For christ's sake, this isn't [b: Danger Girl|707837|Danger Girl Back in Black (Danger Girl)|Andy Hartnell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1177482428s/707837.jpg|694111].

I like the art style in this much less than in the previous two versions, but the story is top-notch.
