Maximum Security #1

"Legal aliens" aren't the only ones under scrutiny in Maximum Security #1, where a council of alien races has declared Earth a prison planet, and the U.S. government has tasked USAgent with rounding up Earth's most dangerous criminals—sending them to newly designated, high-security wings in existing prisons. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated with sharp detail by Jerry Ordway, the issue blends sci-fi politics with grounded law enforcement, all rendered with dynamic inks by Will Blyberg, Paul Ryan, Al Vey, and Chris Ivy, and vibrant colors by Jason Wright. The cover by Jerry Ordway captures the tension of a world on the edge, where justice and exile are no longer human concerns.
