EditThe Old Guard by Greg Rucka, Leandro Fernandez (Image Comics)
The Old Guard features many trappings that will be recognizable to Greg Rucka fans, including a strong but tortured female protagonist and a heavy focus on espionage and black ops. But when combined with the Highlander-esque immortality angle and mixed together, the end result is something refreshing and new. Rucka and artist Leandro Fernandez practically channel Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso as they introduce this hard-boiled world of immortal mercenaries. Rucka is particularly skilled at introducing characters and worlds with grace. He only shows readers what they need to know about Andy and her team, preferring to let the art and dialogue do the talking. And talk they do. Leandro Fernandez's shadowy style captures all the raw, bleak appeal of this world. Fernandez's shadowy style goes hand in hand with Daniela Miwa's colors, which bring life to the moonlit bedrooms, the inviting Paris streets and the sand-swept deserts that make up this series.
