SECRET #1
MY PICK OF THE WEEK!
SECRET SERVICE #1
From The Writer Of Kick-Ass And The Artist Of
Watchmen Comes A Collaboration Decades In The Making. Says Millar: —“Secret
Service Is The Ramifications Of [How] America Is Struggling On The World Stage,
Funding Is Being Seriously Undercut To Balance The Books And Some People Are
Trying Their Best To Take Advantage Of The Fragile Global Situation. The
Hero—And Sidekick Guys Who Lead The Book Are, I Think, The Best Characters I’ve
Written.”
