 | | In an understated display of his versatility, novelist and omnipresent comics scribe Greg Rucka (Critical Space, Batman) crafts a taut spy tale involving the hunt for a list of anti-Taliban (given the equally valid, if jarring, spelling Taleban here) contacts, stashed away by a journalist-slash-spy moments before he's arrested and executed. |
 | | But famed comic scribe O'Neil drops certain narrative threads at jarring moments, and attempts at out-there, experimental plots (including Daredevil "teaming up" with Marvel Western character Two-Gun Kid from the safety of their respective times, and a fish-out-of-water jaunt to Italy) seem forced. |
 | | There are some admirably comic and inventive moments, including the character of Zeitgeist, who exists only in the most abstract sense, and a peek at a raft of alternate-universe Captain Britains with names like Captain Albion and Captain Airstrip-One. |
