The Losers Book 1

I have always been a fan of Andy Diggle & Jock's collaboration since I read Green Arrow: Year One.  This however I feel is not their best effort.  I didn't start to feel this series until about the forth issue of the series that kicked it into high gear & it has kept the pedal to floor ever since.  Book 1 collects the 1st 12 issues of this series.  Jock's art is awesome most of the time there are a few panels scattered throughout that feel off, proportionally.  Jock also isn't the only artist on this series but he is in charge of layouts & covers his covers are way better than his interior art & look spectacular.  I picked this series up cause I have had it on my to read list since I saw the movie however 90% of the movie can be summed up in this book alone which is kind of sad.  The main premise of this series is that its a little like A-Team meets Rainbow Six meets Mission Impossible.  A black ops. team left for dead goes up against a crooked C.I.A. handler Max, who has more power & influence than J. Edgar Hoover.  By the end of the end of book 1 you see just how powerful he is without actually seeing him.
