Dark Horse Books has revealed another Library Edition for a Mark Millar project, this time King of Spies. The first issue blew me away, so it’s no surprise. Joining Millar is artist Matteo Scalera, colorist Giovanna Niro (Orfani, The Bounce), letterer Clem Robins (Hellboy, Y: The Last Man), and design team Ozgur Yildrim (Loki, Night Club) and Eddie Thornton.
So what’s King of Spies about?
Britain’s top secret agent, now in his sixties, discovers he has six months to live. Now, he must choose between a gentle decline or going after everyone he thinks deserves to die. With the state of the world as messy as it is, Sir Roland King has a long list of people he blames for the world’s problems, and those politicians, royals, journalists, and celebrities are about to be rooted out. Before he goes, King wants to upset the status quo and eliminate as much corruption as possible.
