The Rundown: Two thieves find their new lifestyle interrupted by the bounty on their heads.

The queen of a local star system is upset at her daughter for being robbed by two thieves who managed to escape and the punishment she hands down to her own daughter is severe as she dispatches two of her hunters to bring in the thieves.

The thieves themselves, Thena and Cody have managed to make a life for themselves on an outer system world where they party every night. Unfortunately, their crime catches up to them as bounty hunters attempt to bring them in and they have to escape. To make matters worse, two more hunters are hot on their trail.

The Story: Millar crafts a fun, thrilling adventure in this first issue. I like the premise as well as the characters. There is a fun tone to the story and some great action throughout the story. The first issue does a great job of setting up the characters and the stakes in this story and I really like the world of this story. It will be interesting to see where this story goes next.

The Art: Mastantuono creates some beautifully detailed art throughout this first issue.
