Over at the news site Comics for Sinners, you’ll find my review of The Blacklist #1, now on sale from Titan Comics.
It’s the start of a comic tie-in to the popular NBC television series starring James Spader (Avengers: Age of Ultron) as Raymond “Red” Reddington and Megan Boone as FBI agent Elizabeth Keen, written by Nicole Phillips (script coordinator for the show) and illustrated by Beni Lobel (Constantine, Arrow: Season 2.5). Reddington is a master criminal who spent two decades on the run from the FBI, only to turn himself in on Keen’s first day as an FBI agent—specifically so that he could work directly with her. And with his surrender came a special gift: the Blacklist—a list of the world’s most dangerous, and previously unknown, criminals who Reddington wants eliminated or incarcerated…for reasons known only to him, of course. The comic series starts with the latest subject on the Blacklist: a terrorist-for-hire who’s made a target of the FBI itself. Head over to C4S to learn more.
