Written by television producer Mark Askwith and drawn by R. G. Taylor, (Sandman Mystery Theater) Silencers is a compelling look at spies coming to terms with the changing face of espionage in the new world order. When the newest recruit to the Silencers is murdered, his death triggers a mission of betrayal and revenge.
Smart, deft and quick, Askwith's created a rich world that I'm sorry to see hasn't continued. It feels deeply knowing with the kind of clever turns that could sustain a long run. Taylor's art is great and works really well for the story.
