The popular web serial, The Private Op, follows the adventures of Ashiel Hammond as he travels the globe righting wrongs – for a price. Ashiel is the private op, field agent for Archangel Security Consultants, a secret agency founded by retired CIA spymaster, Gabriel Sexton. Together with the support of agents Street & Smith, Archangel SC is the go-to name for anyone in the world seeking justice and not finding it through their local authorities.
“I am a huge fan of the Sin City: Silent Night comic because it was an approach to visual story telling I’d never seen before. That book is a series of small beats that lead up to a big moment, told through one-panel pages with no dialogue,” said Hall on the genesis of the project. “I wanted to do something like that, but on a larger scale, while maintaining the bare-knuckle international intrigue that people have come to associate with the stories. Plus, I needed dialogue (I mean, Frank Miller is Frank Miller for a reason, right?) And after seeing the Biting Elbows video for Bad Motherf*cker, I knew exactly how to translate that first-person narrative visually. I’m really excited about how it all came together.”
The comic will be free to read at ThePrivateOp.com and physical copies can be purchased for $2 but free copies of the book will be available at this year’s New York Comic Con.
