In this opening volume of the series, which collects three story arcs, an awesome twelve issues worth of material, the reader is introduced to the world of international espionage, and all the crazy politics, games - and the players that play them, and all the ins and outs that go into making a mission successful.Īs a field operative, Chace's life is one of alternating dull boredom and inactivity, mixed with intense bouts of incredibly vital and stressful missions in the field. Queen and Country is an international espionage story that focuses on a British Intelligence team called the S.I.S., and much of the story centers around Tara Chace, one of the field operatives. With Queen and Country, Rucka has penned another engaging comic series where a female character takes center stage. However, Rucka has proven his skills in this area in the past with Kate Kane in Batwoman, Carrie Stetko in Whiteout, and Dex Parios in Stumptown. This quality makes Rucka stand out from the crowd given the fact that well-depicted female leads can be hard to find in the comics medium. Rucka is one of the few writers, both inside and outside of the comics medium, who can write fantastic female lead characters. I've had a lot of success in the past when reading comics written by Greg Rucka.
