Queen & Country: Declassified #2

In "Landslide" Part 2, Paul Crocker—now Minder Two—ventures into Prague on a high-stakes extraction mission, tracking down Russian defector Valery Karpin. The mission takes a tense turn when Crocker realizes his arrival has been anticipated by KGB officer Ruslan Izmailov, the same man who once detained him during a prior crossing from East to West Berlin. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Brian Hurtt, with lettering by John Dranski, this issue delivers sharp espionage tension and a palpable sense of looming danger. The cover, by Scott Morse, captures the mission’s intensity with a stark, evocative image.
