A delightful action-comedy that pairs the fun of campy 60s spy media with the heartful emotions of the found family trope. This volume serves to set up the larger story and introduces the cast and plot wonderfully.

This is one of my favorite graphic novels series ever. The cast is so colorful and fun, I love the chemistry between everyone. They're all lovable idiots and I can't wait to see where the plot takes them!

Most of the content above are played off as comedy, not much "serious" time is spent on it.

I checked this out after watching the recent movie on a whim while at the theater and finding the premise interesting. This is definitely a strong start for a series with a unique set up, well defined main characters, and a world that is slowly being built as the story continues to keep readers intrigued and wanting more. Speaking of which, I can't wait to check out the next volume!

So I glad I finally read this! Very quick to read, funny and cute! I can't wait to continue this series (though if you read this as an e-book, I'd suggest using a larger screen, I used a tablet). 
Please give this a try!
