After the first issue I was a bit hesitant to read this but this issue was definitely better and I followed it better. We're still in the origin arc and it seems that there were other heroes who have operated here in the past including one who operated as The Eastsider. I'm really starting to get into this story and I'm looking forward to the next issue.
Red One #3 by Xavier Dorison and Terry and Rachel Dodson
Colour me as sucker for female spies - Danger Girl, Black Widow, Modesty Blaise. I was intrigued by this title produced for two issues a year. I'd found issue 4 a couple of months ago and said lots of naughty words when no one had issue 3 - so I'm grateful to Secret Identity comics for ordering this in for me. The idea of a Russian spy acting as an American superhero as a propaganda tool is unusual and I'm keen to see what next year's issues bring.
Peepland #2 by Christa Faust and Gary Phillips and Andrea Camerini
A solid follow up to the first issue. New characters and complications get added to the plot and I'm really enjoying this series.
James Bond: Eidolon #11 by Warren Ellis and Jason Masters
We're in the final stretch of this arc and Ellis is ramping up everything for a final confrontation.
20 Years of Tomb Raider by Meagan MarieWow it's been 20 years since the first Tomb Raider Game. This is a beautiful overview everything Tomb Raider. The Game not surprisingly take up half the book but Marie examine Books, Comics, novels, movies, cosplay, and the various fan activities such as Fan fic, fan art, fan films. The various models, voices and musicians for the game are also looked at.
Even cooler is the fact that there is a flip book effect as various incarnation of Lara run, jump and shoot as you flick though the book.
It's a big book and the type of companion that I love to have in my collection.
