Cobb

(IDW, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Idea + Design Works

Former Secret Service agent and tough guy with a heart, Cobb gets recruited to take on a Russian mob boss with connections to an al Qaeda terrorist cell. Following a straightforward good guys versus bad guys narrative and dealing out lots of combat-oriented action, Cobb proudly dispenses with the emotional histrionics and moral complications that have driven strong male protagonists since Frank Miller reinvented Batman.

Artist Eduardo Barreto’s cinematic pencil and ink work bring a classic look to the classic formula with tight pacing and easy-flowing page continuity.
