However, this one requires a wife and a child. Can the spy who works alone handle a family? Both are needed to infiltrate an elite private school. Just as Twilight isn’t what he seems, his daughter and wife have secrets and backstories of their own.
The characters are well defined and the artwork fit the story well. There’s over-the-top action, emotional breakdowns, and humor in this cold war espionage fantasy. I was bothered by the idea that a woman should be married by a certain age, but I know some people still think this in the twenty-first century.
The story-line is engaging and entertaining with great illustrations. I am looking forward to the next volume.
