Anna Mercury

I really like the concise description of this series. Somehow, I can picture it all really well, like a movie trailer....

"Anna Mercury" is a new five-issue colour mini-series by Warren Ellis for Avatar.

Cover artist, Paul Duffield.



It comes with the following text:

"Dancing amid the spires of a city called New Ataraxia, there is a woman who can cloud men's minds, leap across buildings as if weightless, unerringly fire twin automatic pistols in the most insane conditions, and disappear in a crowded room. She fights against the political repression of an insane technocratic society, and she comes from a place that no-one in New Ataraxia has ever heard of. And she's got one hour to save the city from itself.

"A high-octane blend of The Shadow, Tomb Raider, retropunk science fiction and 21st century Weird Pulp Action, ANNA MERCURY is a headlong adventure serial about a beautiful and mysterious spy-adventurer who is not what she seems...."

One of these days, mysterious comic characters will be exactly what they seem.
