COMMENTARY BY LONE STAR'S AARON SETTLE: I'm a big fan of Warren Ellis' crime stories, so I was really excited when it was announced that Down was finally going to see the light of day. Down was originally planned to be part of Top Cow's creator owned line. But when that line vanished, so did the book. Now it's back and it's as gritty and hard hitting as any of Ellis' crime stories. The story follows quick tempered narcotics undercover cop Deanna Ransome. After her latest bust goes poorly Deanna is offered one last chance to be an undercover agent. This is one of those books that is not for everyone. It's very violent and deals with a lot of unlikable characters. But if you're a fan of gritty crime stories like 100 Bullets, you'll dig Down. Cover price $2.99.
