A mystery thriller with a dash of romance, paranormal intrigue and the macabre is at the heart of this just-concluded five-issue miniseries by Steve Niles () and Fiona Staples (). The foundation for it all is the chemistry between its protagonists, the swashbuckling Nick Hammond and the delectable Anastasia Collins. This, plus Niles' crisp writing and brisk pace coupled with Staples' distinctive, grainy and angular visuals make for a dynamic and enjoyable romp. Highly recommended. All HQ Minutemen scans.
