Plot Summary
Overview
Warren Ellis introduces you to the sultry Anna Mercury in this all-new color series!
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....
Anna Mercury will be a series of mini-series, starting with this five issue color series that features art by all-new talent Facundo Percio.
This issue is available with a regular cover by Paul Duffield, a wraparound by Juan Jose Ryp, a Painted cover by artist Felipe Massafera, and also a rare 1-in-15 Design Sketch Edition featuring the initial character designs by Ryp.

I don't think Anna Mercury is really my thing. Too many gadgets and gizmos. I'm not a big fan of them. I like characters plain and simple. I don't like hearing babble about made up futuristic names, especially if it's gone overboard... which in this comic it has.
I may like it after the first five issue run is through but I am not too sure. I'm not really into all the James Bond spy stuff either which this is comparable to. Yes, a futuristic James Bond in tight black. So as you can see this comic, for me to like it was doomed almost from the start. Mind you, like I said I do like good character development so I tend to give most comics about five or so issues to get settled when I am first introduced to them.
I'll probably check out the next issue, but I won't be holding my breath for it.
