The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of STEED
AND MRS. PEEL #1 from BOOM Comics. The story is by Mark Waid, script by Caleb
Monroe, and art by Will Sliney.
A group of men take over a missile site and launch a
group of them that destroys London. Steed, Peel, and about a dozen lords and
ministers survive by being in an underground bunker. The group had to go to the
surface because a fire in the bunker is running out of air. The group is
attacked by a group of unfortunate souls who were outside during the missile
attack. Our heroes get assistance from an unexpected source…
WOW, blowing up London sure is an interesting start to
the series! I really enjoyed the interaction between John Steed and Emma Peel. I’ve never watched the television series and not really all that
familiar with the characters, but liked what I read here. I will definitely pick up the next issue to see
where this story goes.
STEED AND MRS. PEEL #1 is in stores now and available at
www.boom-studios.com.
