Steed and Mrs. Peel #1

Boom! Studios brings the British spy duo back to comics in 2012 with this sharply designed first issue, written by Mark Waid and Caleb Monroe with art by Will Sliney. The cover by Joshua Covey places Mrs. Peel front and center in her blue-and-pink combat suit, arms raised in a martial arts guard, while a sequence of shadowy female figures fans out below her — suggesting motion, danger, and unmistakable style. "London Falling" sounds like exactly the kind of high-stakes adventure these two were made for.
