The Patriots #2

With an American flag tattered against a crumbling brick wall, issue #2 of WildStorm's The Patriots drops readers straight into the heat of combat. The cover, penciled and inked by Michael Ryan, places a red-haired woman in tactical armor center stage, unleashing automatic gunfire as enemy soldiers — badges suggesting a foreign military — reel and fall around her in chaos. Written by Brandon Choi and Jonathan Peterson, "Sins of the Past" looks to be a gritty, action-packed chapter that wastes no time delivering high-stakes espionage thrills.
