Prisoner #1 (2018) cover a

The most recent stab at picking up the storyline from the classic television series. Full discloser, I am a big fan of the original show so you really have to raise the stakes to get me to like a new version. The good news is that this type of story is right up Peter Milligan's street. Agent Breen is a good character fit for the reasoning of the Village. An agent bucking the system who knows too much and refuses to back down from his plans. Reminds me of a certain Secret Agent Man named McGoohan. And using common sense, Milligan's story doesn't divert directly into the world of the tv show but does pay it homage with some telling dialog. Not bad for a title that could never make me happy.
