Special Single Issue Review - Transmissions #1

I read Transmissions #1, a post cold war espionage thriller from T-pub comics. A mysterious broadcast of numbers is playing on the radio and anyone who hears it goes into a trance and starts killing people. Charlie is recruited to try and solve the case along with Sasha, a code breaker. She takes him to the creator of the code, a Russian agent, but he is unwilling to betray his country. Charlie must find a new angle to solve this mystery.

The cold war ended in 1991, but everything doesn't just disappear once both sides have warmed up to each other. This 4 issue story by writer Jed McPherson and artist Marco Perugini explores what was left behind after the cold war ended and the spies who must clean it up.

I found this a compelling beginning to a spy thriller. The radio code transmissions are a unique puzzle for our lead agent to try and solve. I feel like Jed is also setting us up with the juxtaposition of Cold War-era spy Charlie and modern agents trained in the latest techniques and technologies.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the story.
