I enjoyed this issue, despite mediocre art and some cliche ridden
parts.

I really enjoy Rucka on DC titles. He really seems to understand
what it takes to ground them enough to make them a spectacle.

 I
understand that Chris and his partner have amorous feelings for each
other, but there really should be a way to write it without it feeling
like they’re in high school.

And the combination of art and dialogue
when Lois claimed Chris as her son made her the least sexy she’s been
in a while. She looked like a late 30’s soccer mom.

I don’t know
where it was, but somewhere between Queen and Country and Checkmate,
Rucka has lost his ability to write good military operations. Now it
just seems like every Tom Clancy adaptation I’ve ever seen with general
A angry and spouting stuff at subordinate B who is the only one being
reasonable.

 As for the art, it seems like it would work in black and
white with less heavy inks, but as it stands it just seems amateurish.
It looked like the ink was slapped on with a rolling brush and the
action didn’t seem all that kinetic.

Still there were a few good parts.
I really enjoyed the opening sequence in New Mexico and all three
protagonists seem interesting enough, love life aside.

There’s stuff
I’d change, but it is still fairly good.
