Baboushka is on the trail of "Ghost Stations" from the Soviet Union time that someone is digging up. The disappearance of an EON agent leads her to Switzerland and Sebastian Temple. A "chance" encounter with a "disgruntled" employee leads to a trap in the local Ghost Station. Escaping from there with the aid of an old enemy, she heads to Canada where another trap lands her in Greenland. Plenty of action, plenty of thrills but with art work a step down from the first volume in the series. Still fun though.

This action packed adventure is another fun and exciting romp staring the kick ass character Contessa Annika Malikova aka Baboushka. This time she is on a quest to find out what secrets are hidden in cold war era Russian Ghost Stations across the globe. The story is fast paced with plenty of classic James Bond type scenes and sceneries.
The art has cool perspectives with nice watercolor coloring. However, I am not found of the way the noses are drawn and colored. Every character seems to have the same awkward looking nose.

Ghost Station Zero
Old-fashioned secret agent series - fun and games Bond-style
Like Bond films, this series has an almost invincible agent, Baboushka, working to save the world, using violence, sex and intrigue. The plot is almost predictable and those believed dead aren’t always.
Vividly coloured with clear illustrations, this is quite enjoyable without being particularly original. Reasonably good but nothing that special.

If you liked Atomic Blonde, you'll probably like Baboushka.
