Mahmoud Youseff, a Lebanese citizen, walks into a British Embassy in Cairo, declaring himself to be a member of the Group Islamique Army and claiming to have information about a plot by the Egyptian Islamic Jihad to launch a terrorist attack on British citizens. Tara Chace, the operative designated Minder Two of the Special Section of the SIS, is immediately dispatched to meet with Youseff and strike a deal. What follows is a frenetic search across the world for the EIJ's stockpile of Sarin gas and, more importantly, where they plan to unleash it. Sarajevo, Baghdad, Rome, Osaka-the Minders are determined to halt this deadly game before it even gets started.

Afghanistan is one of the hottest political spots in the world. When the taleban discovers foreign journalists are also serving as covert-agents for the SIS, the Minders are put on a mission to find a secret contact list before the enemy does; however, when Director of Operations Paul Crocker decides to send only his male agents into the field, it doesn't sit well with Tara Chace. Adding insult to injury, she's currently required to attend therapy sessions to deal with the effects of previous operations. Not content to sit on her hands, Tara spends her time trying to piece together the puzzle, aiding Minders Wallace and Kittering in their race against the clock. This second collection of the acclaimed series Queen & Country breaks new ground for comics, tackling tough subject matter in a realistic and intriguing way.
Written by Eisner winner Greg Rucka, with art by Brian Hurtt, Bryan O'Malley, and Christine Norrie, chapter breaks by John K. Snyder III, and a cover by Durwin Talon.

As part of the Special Section of Britain's Ministry of Intelligence, Tara Chace is one of a handful of operatives they call when they need to clean up a mess, or to make a new one. It's certainly a world of questionable morals. For instance, is it better to assassinate a general in the Russian mafia, to take his life, rather than allow him to peddle more guns and drugs in underprivileged countries? Tara's bosses seem to think so. But the Russian mafia ask their own questions--once someone has taken the life of one of their officers, can they continue to let that person live? Greg Rucka peels back the lid on the traditional espionage story to reveal the nastiness inside, and Steve Rolston brings it to life with stunning clarity.
Queen & Country, Vol. 1: Operation: Broken Ground also features chapter break art by Tim Sale and a special short story illustrated by Stan Sakai.

It's a comic book industry event: the first four issues of the new original ongoing superhero series from Mark Waid! Irredeemable dares to ask the question: what if the world's greatest hero decided to become the world's greatest villain? A 'twilight of the superheroes'-style story that examines super-villains from the writer of Kingdom Come.
