The Highwaymen

(WildStorm, 2007-2008)
™ and © 2007 WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics

A few years from now, a security breach calls two of America’s greatest heroes out of retirement—even if America doesn’t want them back. Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman script a precise tale that’s admirably long-legged in the closure between panels. Lee Garbett’s decidedly Quitely-influenced pages know how to capture the action, and Jonny Rench’s colors deliver caring final touches right down to the detailing. A cool book, if it can pull the alluded-to ace out of its sleeve. How long does Wildstorm have to keep making comics what they ought to be till this imprint gets the credit it deserves?
