Anna Mercury: Prepare for Launch

Set in a near-future world of corporate espionage and high-tech action, Anna Mercury: Prepare for Launch is a single-issue debut from Avatar Press that introduces a resourceful, armored heroine. Artist Paul Duffield brings kinetic energy to this 2008 series, which establishes the premise of a woman navigating a dangerous landscape of shadowy organizations and personal vendettas. Though brief, the issue serves as a focused, self-contained entry point into a larger story.
