Lifeless and nonsensical satire sort of annoys at first but then just bores completely. First, the problem with making extensive fun of travel brochures in your book is that it can end up reading like a travel brochure. Having posited an island in the Bermuda Triangle populated with assassins, spies, supernatural creatures, and tourists, the rest of the humor seems to coast on just how wild this scenario has to be because it is just so wild, you see. Oh, hee hee, our version of Black Widow drowned a guy. Oh, ha-ha, our version of James Bond wears Union Jack underpants. Oh, har har, our mermaids eat people. And ~snort~ what if there's a bad mime? Then slap in a big fight at the end and call it a day. Sad. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieSpy Island (1-4)
The new graphic novel from the team behind bestseller Man-Eaters is a terrifying, sexy, and thought-provoking espionage thriller-that also happens to be laugh-out-loud funny! The world's best spies keep watch over the Bermuda Triangle from a mysterious island outpost teeming with supernatural intrigue, monsters, and evil villains set on global domination. The best of these spies is named Nora Freud (no relation). She knows eighty-seven ways to kill someone with a cocktail toothpick, and she's used thirty-two of them. Lately though, Nora has started to feel like she's going through the motions. Close the temporal portal. Assassinate the genocidal maniac. Have sex with the MI-6 agent. Plus, the island has gotten kind of touristy. She agrees to one last mission. But when Nora's troubled marine cryptozoologist sister shows up unexpectedly, warning of mermaid attacks, Nora realizes that boredom is not her biggest problem.

The basic premise of this world’s top spies living on an island in the Bermuda Triangle waiting to be called into action opens up so many possibilities. But when a mystery arrives on their own beaches their own secrets are revealed.
As well as traditional comics art we are presented with recreations of various printed ephemera from this world such as the tourist brochure packaging, cocktail menus, posters, letters, ads, and even a recap page delivered in mime. There is so much detail and nuggets woven throughout that it rewards a close second reading perhaps more than the first. ( )
