I really wanted to like this. It seemed to have a cool premise (Black Ops teams globe trotting completing missions) but it was just way to slow with not enough action. Artwork and premise drew me in, but the story let me down.
One of the few “books” about ISAA graphic novel about the Intelligence Support Activity, one of the most secret special operations forces in the world. Fictional, but inspired by real unit and events.
Very accurate portrayal of a very secretive unit within the ranks of our military!
story? what story? at least the art was nice enough.
One of the better spy stories I've read in years. Far better than much of what passes for recent spy novels because this graphic novels captures the tone and spirit of espionage in a delivery that is minimalist with complex undertones. I'm looking forward to volume 2.
Wow, what an interesting series. I don't think I can compare it to anything because it is so dense, so well researched, so realistic. It's like The Unit, Modern Warfare and Act of Valor had a child together in comics. Can't wait for the next volume.
the most kick-ass bit of graphic novel bad-assery you'll ever read! do yourself a favor and run a copy down......now!start here and follow with volume 2....hopefully, hehem, volume 3 is coming soon.-justin
Very well researched and done but not really my scene.
I don't think I've ever read a graphic novel quite like this one. It's essentially the continuing adventures of an ultra-secret military group doing missions and such. It's very straightforward, and does what it's trying to do well, but...well, that's it. There's not a lot of weight behind it, I'm not given a lot of reason to care, and, since war/military stuff isn't really my thing, there's little to keep me going period.This is highly regarded, and I think the right reader would find a lot to
Everything about this comic is cool. The agents, the missions, the weapons, the strategy, the field deployment and decisions. The characters are all experienced soldiers with near-perfect understanding of their mission. They know that any error, no matter how small, can lead to their demise. Their skills and dedication to the mission ensure that, even if they lose one of their own, they complete their goals successfully. The only thing I can complain about is that there is no single story arc, o...
The Activity is about a secret ops team that go through several single-issue missions which could probably work for a tv show. I liked reading this book but felt that they completed every mission pretty easily and there wasn't any real danger. Also, as I am reading this team book, I had a hard time getting to know the characters and their code names.There are times when I felt some of the military jargon was heavy and disappointed that they explained the terminology at the end of the issue. I am...
Activity je jednoduše řečeno zábavný příběh o utajené skupině amerických black ops. Na jednu stranu je fajn, že co sešit to příběh ale vše působí strašně rychle neboť vše se vyřeší za pár stránek přičemž příběh prolínají i flashbacky hlavních postav. Zároveň jsem strašně bojoval tradičně se jmény postav, stejně jako všude tak krom civilních jmén mají naše postavy i kódová označení která jsem stejně jako jejich jména už zapomněl. Přiznávám, že jsem do toho šel hlavně kvůli kresbě Mitche Geradse k...
As a fan of Spooks/Mi-5 TV series, I was excited when I started reading this graphic novel. However, as the story progressed, my excitement faded away and I was disappointed by the lack of character development. This graphic novel is all action which is fine but it's a little hard to see the characters other than adrenalin junkies. At least with Spooks/Mi-5, you get to see the emotional toil that the "intelligence game" takes on its agents. Heck, even the Daniel Craig-reboot of James Bond movies...
The stories were interesting. But they seemed really light in detail...more like popcorn than meat; even for a graphic novel. But, still interesting to read.And a quick, easy read; less than an hour.
Not a bad collection, but all "one and done"s. I'd like to see more character development. Also, the stories were abrupt in a couple places where it was difficult to figure out what exactly was going on.
Enjoyable look at elite intelligence gathering unit - Nathan has a good knowledge of his chosen subject and portrays the missions without the usual Gung Ho aatitude that accompnies this type of Graphic Novel. The books are short and focus on the mission and technology leaving very little room for charcater development - hence the 3/5
I read one review where the biggest criticism was that this book resembled a CBS television procedural (citing NCIS). Well that isn't the worse thing, probably because I like NCIS every now and then.Yes, I don't recall any of the character's names after reading this. The key is the pacing, and well plotted stories. Team Omaha is the squad that cleans up when everything has gone awry, or is about to. The CIA screwed up-call Team Omaha. A terrorist cell needs to be taken down outside U.S. Borders,...
Pretty good spec-ops/spies series. I picked this one up on Comixology Unlimited. Will look around for more.Kind of like Mission Impossible in a way, but no Tom Cruise. Still, set up very real. Fans of Homeland might this series as well.
Loved the art but the story wasn't to my taste
3.5 starsA thoroughly enjoyable story about a mercenary squad with some really nice art from Mitch Gerards
