Queen & Country #6
"Morningstar" Part 2 delivers a tense, grounded escalation in Greg Rucka’s sharp, character-driven espionage thriller. As Tom, Ed, and Dennis Avasti push toward Kabul, the mission’s shadow deepens—Ed confronts the brutal reality of the Taliban firsthand, while Tara’s isolation in the Ops Room fractures further, leading her into a fragile, fleeting moment of distraction. Brian Hurtt’s precise interiors, with Christine Norrie’s inks and Sean Konot’s clean lettering, heighten the story’s urgency, all framed by John K. Snyder III’s evocative cover.

Tom and Ed make their way to Kabul with the Delhi #2, Dennis Avasti. Tara can't sleep and can't leave the Ops Room, and when she's tossed out, she sees Dr. Callard and discusses her feelings about the Taleban and Kosovo, which doesn't help, and then picks up a guy at a bar, which helps even less. Operation Morningstar begins to go south as Tom, Ed, and Dennis are being followed, and Ed witnesses a Taleban execution at first hand.
