The Programme #1
This volume collects the first story arc of the 2008 DC series The Programme, a gritty espionage thriller that follows a covert government operation involving genetically enhanced soldiers. The narrative centers on a team of operatives grappling with the moral and physical consequences of their superhuman abilities as they confront a shadowy conspiracy.
In "The Talibstan Terror," Peter Milligan and C. P. Smith launch a bold new chapter in the DC Universe, where the collapse of the Soviet Union didn’t end the Cold War—it just went underground. When a forgotten Soviet weapon stirs from decades of silence, the world’s balance of power shatters, and old enemies awaken with powers beyond anything seen in conventional warfare. The cover by C. P. Smith captures the tension of a world on edge, as the first shots of a new kind of conflict are fired.
