zare_i's review against another edition
3.0
Note: This is actually more like 3.5/5 but I do not know how to add half a star.
As for the book itself - in my opinion this is weakest The Activity collection so far. Gritty, 24-like take on special operations slightly turned towards GI-Joe approach in volume 3.
I do not know why but for some reason phrases like 'security of the world depends on us' found their way into this comic. I understand the need to utilize some of the patriotic stand and spirit but it seems way off in the comic that started as a sort of a window to the very complex world of cloak-and-dagger operations.
Take for example 24 or The Unit tv shows - in both cases you have hard-as-nail characters, very patriotic and ready to do whatever is required to ensure safety of their home but there is no melodrama, no preaching. They all know why are there where they are and what their job is.
Nevertheless great stories in this edition - some may leave you with the feeling "where is the end" [like the first story] - and I am impatient to read more about the Omaha team adventures (volume #3 truly took its time to hit the shelves).
