In the not-too-distant future, as a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards.
Enter: Graham Bricke. A career criminal never quite able to hit the big score, Graham intends to steal one of the charging stations, skip the country and live off unlimited funds for the rest of his life. But the media has leaked news of the anti-crime signal one week before it was to go live...and now Graham and his team have just a few days to turn the crime of the century into the last crime in American history.
Collecting the critically acclaimed crime miniseries in a never-before-seen trade paperback edition that includes an in-depth interview with creator and writer, Rick Remender, character and design renderings from artist Greg Tocchini and a cover gallery of images from award-winning artist Alex Maleev and Greg Tocchini.
著者について
Rick Remender is the writer/creator of comics such as Fear Agent, The End League, Strange Girl, Black Heart Billy, Sea of Red, Sorrow, Night Mary, XXXOMBIES, Gigantic and Doll and Creature. He is the current writer of Marvel's Punisher and has also served as writer on DC's Booster Gold and The Atom.
In fact, this is the complete 3-part series published by Radical. This is not the "Book 1" but all the 3 issues of the mini-series. You do not need to buy the so called "books 2 and 3" which are the second and third part of the series and are part of this "bbok 1".

Rick Remender tells the story of desperate people willing to do whatever it takes to indulge their vices one final time. Heath Hudson from Fear Agent (Fear Agent Vol. 1: Re-Ignition (v. 1)) - the best known book by Remender - was a flawed hero who had difficulty to accept his own guilt. Here the characters are unapologetic villains who seem to have no moral although we start to see some cracks in the second issue.
Contrary to some other artists working on books published by Radical where the art is static, Greg Tocchini is a real comic-book artist who knows how to create dynamic panels. I only knew Tocchini for his art on Ion (Ion (Book 1): The Torchbearer (Green Lantern)) where he was paired with an inker and a colorist. Here he is drawing and painting himself and the result is absolutely amazing.

If you're looking for Remender's Marvel/Punisher style work, this isn't for you. It's a gruesome, violent futuristic crime story. But if you like crime comics, this is one of the best of last year. Very, very good.
