Greg Rucka is slowly rising to my top 10 writers of all time. I read a few duds but the more I read the more I'm enjoying his work. Especially his creator own stuff.

The Old Guard takes a idea you've seen before. What if you couldn't die? Immortal? No. No quite. What if you could die, over and over again, and just keep coming back? Interesting huh? Now take a group of individuals who give you very distinct different view points about their powers and their life up until this point and you have a crazy team all together in this full, explosive, very bloody, action packed adventure.

Andy is the main character here and she's pretty much that badass miltary solider you'd expect except she isn't the norm. She fucks, drinks, and kills. She's also 3,000+ years old and when you can never die is there much else to do but drink, eat, and fuck? No right. Well except kill motherfuckers who need some killing. Anyway she is sent on a mission and betrayal and twist begin and end up giving us some crazy high action packed fighting and whooping ass.

Good: Let me just say I love the cast here. All of them. The all shine, all have their moment, and the more you get to know the characters the better you enjoy them. Also the dialog is fun and bouncing, everyone just having a good old time. There's also some great twist, and some that actually made me re-read it.

Bad: The art can suffer at moments of high action. Sometimes had trouble following it. Also the first issue or two I was unsure about this and kind of started similar to every other action movie/comic but soon changes. Still, the start is shaky.

Overall The Old Guard Book 1 is VERY much worth owning. I really hope Greg continues this one and was just enjoying every moment with these characters. Give me more! 4/5!
