Everyone tells Chuck Norris jokes, but what type of jokes does Chuck Norris tell?

Chuck Norris tells Velvet Templeton jokes!



Velvet Templeton is 100% smooth, 100% sexy, 100% badass! This is the strong female lead you have been looking for! Everyone underestimates her . . . and that was a big mistake. This issue, and the whole series, are action packed and dripping with political espionage. It has to be one of the best written and finest presented spy thrillers I have ever read. 5+ stars!



I love the art in this book! The covers are fantastic and the panels inside are a throwback to old school comics. The art keeps the story moving along perfectly – and this is extremely helpful as often I find espionage stories get confusing and convoluted and my mind starts to wander. This is not the case here – the images kept my face glued to the page and the story moving right along.



I cannot recommend this series enough. If you like action comics, spy/espionage thrillers, kick ass female leads, etc. you just cannot go wrong here. Seriously – read it!

C.  (Comment, never msg). I am not a Chuck Norris fan. But I am a David Bowie fan, to be sure. :)

C.  (Comment, never msg). You get that this book shares the title of one of his hits, right?

I do - and, in fact, when I was looking up images for this there were a lot of Nirvana from when they covered that song for their Unplugged set.
