Product description

Review

Diggle writes with a Hollywood-by-way-of-the-UK savvy... Jock supplies the vibrantly intense art. A- -- Entertainment Weekly

Hollywood will be lucky if it can pull off a caper flick that's half as entertaining as THE LOSERS -- Ain't It Cool News

This is MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino -- The Fourth Rail

From the Publisher

THE LOSERS is the winner of the National Comics Award for Best New Comic, and was nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award for Best New Series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2010
I have posted reviews of
 The Losers: Book One

and
 The Losers (Book Two)

I suspect that this sequence
 The Losers (Vol. 1) : Ante Up
The Losers (Vol. 2): Double Down
The Losers (Vol. 3): Trifecta
The Losers (Vol. 4): Close Quarters
The Losers (Vol. 5): Endgame

will simply be allowed to go out of print. It covers the same material in five volumes.

Book 1 parallels the film, though there are differences in the plot.

If you want to mix and match, volume 1 and 2 = Book 1, volumes 3 to 5 = Book 2.

Smart punchy, with plenty of humour and attitude, this is one of the best and most accessible of recent comic books. If you enjoy action films that are absurd but fun, then give these a spin. Probably unsuitable for children on account of violence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2013
The first book was all action and let you down by lack of character development. This corrects that with each character getting some attention and Pooch in particular getting a fleshed out family. The action is still there and because you are getting to know and care about these people it makes it more effective. The humour and occasional pop culture reference really draw you into this world and give you plenty to invest in.

The politics is as blatant as ever. You could easily see this as a Garth Ennis or more likely Micah Ian Wright work. The prescient quotes at the end of each volume show you this is more than just a brainless action-fest and there is a message you need to take note of.

The art is good but the garish blocks of digital colour don't do it any favours. The thick lines and low detail do add a certain cartoonish charm that complement the over-the-top action but much of the good ideas are painted over.

A really enjoyable work that appeals on many levels and brings its own style. Thumbs Up!

Every time I finish a volume, I'm jumping onto Amazon for the next one. This is one of the most underrated series Vertigo ever did.
