IN GOOD HANDS WITH BAD COMPANY #1 (ONE SHOT)

FROM THE WORLD OF WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US! Following the breakout spy-fi black comedy hit of last year comes the prequel story no one asked for. Meet Agent Rook. He's young. He's idealistic. He's learning how to be a good spy. And the first rule of being a good spy? Trust no one. The second rule? Drink to excess. From series creators STEFANO LANDINI (Daredevil, Prodigy) & MATTHEW ROSENBERG (IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT, SPAWN), and brilliant artist JOSH HOOD (We Can Never Go Home, Star Trek) comes the saddest story about the worst guy. Plus: A short story about Queen Annalise and how unbelievably boring it is to be queen.
