While the members of team 21 are enjoying a night off together in Los Angeles, a terrorist group manipulated by a nihilist billionaire triggers a bloody riot downtown. Ian and the other SRS agents are ordered to secure a highly exclusive mall and its wealthy customers – ignoring any danger to the rest of the population.

A decision that is not at all to Ian’s taste, as his programming is quite clear: help others.

Quite honestly, this series makes me think back to the original days of 2000 AD and I can imagine M.A.C.H. 1 (does anyone remember the Ant Wars story?) in the place of Ian.


This gets quite bloody –very bloody- and violent and leaves you wondering just where this series is heading but Vehlmann and Veyer are delivering the goods.  A pity no UK company is producing colour albums like this with British originated material.
