4.0 out of 5 stars Warren Ellis does it again, 18 Jan 2004
By WJ Davidson (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Warren Ellis has made a good name for himself by writing hard edged, witty satires on the superhero genre while at the same time delivering more thrills than the 'real thing'. In fact he has been so successful at this (often subverting from wihin via X-Men spin offs etc) that 'the real thing' has started to look like something from the mind of Warren Ellis.
In this book, WE uses the device of an 'international rescue' organisation made up of extra-ordinary people but not spandex clad superheroes. These operatives are called upon to deal with weird and dangerous situations (virus bombs, dealing with an escaped bionic man, alien invasions that sort of thing) in creative and normally quite violent ways.
The dialogue is generally sharp and the character sketches are amusingly observed. This is a series not a serial and each episode focusses on different central characters so unlike The Authority or Planetary, there is no character continuity or development. This is an observation rather than a complaint because as far as this book goes, it works fine.
This book contains 6 stories, each illustrated by a different artist, all of whom are top notch. Some like Gary Leach don't publish very often but are worth their weight in gold when they do. Its also interesting to see some Jon J Muth pen and ink work again after such a long time (he is more famous for his painted works eg moon shadow). Also special mention for one of my favourite artists Steve Dillon. Probably most famous for his work with Garth Ennis on Preacher, but my fondest memories are of Laser Eraser and Pressbutton from the Warrior days. Total class.

Anyway, back to this package.
It is rather violent so not suitable for youngsters but otherwise it is;
Well written, has great art and is at a good price.

Buy it.
