Queen & Country #5

"Morningstar, Part 1" in Queen & Country #5 marks a pivotal moment in Greg Rucka’s espionage series, unfolding with a grounded, deliberate pace as the story quietly establishes its tense, real-world stakes. The issue’s narrative is framed by Rucka’s own reflection in the letters column, where he candidly discusses the unexpected timing of the storyline’s release just months after 9/11, offering insight into the creative process behind its publication. Cover by John K. Snyder III captures the issue’s somber tone with a stark, evocative image that complements the story’s grounded intensity.
