One year after the catastrophic events that ended Red Team, the NYPD's elite anti-narcotics unit, the surviving Detectives Eddie Mellinger and Trudy Giroux are in the doldrums. Considered a political liability, the two are kept busy on small-time cases by their suspicious NYPD commanders, but a chance encounter with an out-of-his-depth rich kid in the ghetto gives them a chance to get back in the game. The trouble is, it means going far beyond the law... which is what almost got them killed last time around! Reviews: "Craig Cermak has me on a search for anything he has illustrated. (His) work is gorgeous realism." - Comic Crusaders "Well told via dialogue and cop drama elements... You'll be rooting for the protagonists." - AiPT!… (altro)

This one reads like an episode of Miami Vice or Chicago PD.

Two members of [now defunct counter narcotics] police unit by pure chance get into position to strike back at the villain that caused the end (as in death of all other members) of their team.

While guided by their thirst for revenge and using rather unorthodox methods they are not blinded by the hate. They move one step at the time and very soon they will find themselves in deep problems because you cannot just trust your first impressions on some things.

Although I can understand that people get little bit too saturated with similar stories (there are I think at least 5-10 similar police shows aired on multiple channels at any one time) this one is pretty good. Our heroes follow procedure, investigate the clues and go from one baddie to the other to confirm their findings. In the middle of it all they get shot, they get wounded and end ... it is sweet-and-sour to me and rather realistic.

And great thing is that you do not need to know anything from volume 1. This one is very much standalone story-line.

Recommended to all fans of gritty police thrillers. ( )

Next time someone wonders what comics offer besides superheroes, give them this book.

What's outstanding about Ennis is the way he's able to take some of the best aspects of police procedurals (i.e. Law & Order) and turn everything up a notch without copping out. Little touches like a rich kid crapping herself are delightful extra touches. ( )

Unpleasant and overlong by half. There are less death squads but just as much police corruption. I guess I'm not into rogue cops as antiheroes now. Even sexy ones like the female lead.

The scripting swerves closer to Quentin Tarantino territory, even name-checking him in the midst of the slurs -- all the slurs -- allllllll the slurs for everyyyyybodyyyyyyyyy.

The art is still pretty darn good, but the main male character looking so much like Ethan Hawke really began to bother me since Ethan Hawke really bothers me. ( )

Just ok.
Not original and not interesting ... cliché...
