Badass.
Excellent story telling.

Hard-boiled leader of team that can't seem to die...

“…I’m doing this all wrong. Look, I’ll start. My name is…”
“Don’t. Do not tell me your name.”
“Why not?”
“Saves me the trouble of forgetting it.” ( )

This is story about people that are living around us but are markedly different - youngest is 200 years old and oldest member of part over six millennia. They are warriors by trade blessed by the exquisitely long life-spans. Even after hundreds of years their immortality puts them into very specific niche - if you cannot die then most logical profession is one where risks are high (for mere mortals) and rewards are great.

And so we find our motley group of immortal mercenaries taking new assignments in modern age - one assignment too many that will endanger them all.

So if you look at the story itself it is nothing new - it is standard story of warrior band facing the impossible odds. If we want to be true all sagas and myths are more or less the same. But that does not deduct from the experience (at least for me :)).

Story concentrates on the price of immortality (very much in vein of Highlander) and I especially like the twist on the immortality itself. Wont spoil it here but it is an interesting twist on the subject.

Recommended to all fans of action and adventure. ( )

Decent enough take on mercenaries that can live forever. But why do they have to be mercenaries? ( )

Really enjoyed this. Not sure if it's because I watched the movie recently and really enjoyed it, so this is hitting me in my "more of the same" hindbrain or if it's because I haven't read a traditional American-style comic book in a while so reading this scratched a satisfying itch I didn't know I have. It's a good story and enjoyable to read, I'm really not trying to damn this comic with faint praise. But I do think I may have enjoyed it more because I read it at this particular moment in time. ( )
