Perhaps Rider's most thrilling adventure to date, this spinoff delivers a hearty dose of intrigue, dark secrets, and breakneck action. Those familiar with Horowitz's long-running spy series will definitely enjoy seeing all of Alex's daring escapes and adventures unfold right before their eyes. Artists Vieceli and Brown certainly add to the flair, as action often spills out into the gutters of the pages, and the wide array of panel variation keeps each page fresh. A great way to jump into the popular series.
