...Backroom political scheming is kept to a happy minimum as Chaykin makes sure to include enough cursing, killing, and nudity (not to mention fouled-toilet-bowl fishing), to keep action fans turning the page. Penciler Laming has a clear, almost photo-realist style that makes the book more reminiscent of a film than a comic. At the same time, the sharp inks by John Stokes give characters a strange, though not unpleasant, porcelain look- almost like Jeff Koons' pornographic sculptures...

Americans may overwhelmingly support the execution of Timothy McVeigh, but a shift is taking place across the country. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 63% in favor of the death penalty, down from 80% seven years...
