Teen superspy Alex Rider faces a pop star bent on world destruction and a lethal group of assassins in graphic novel adaptations of two of his thrilling adventures.

After learning a terrible secret about his father, teen spy Alex Rider travels to Venice to uncover the truth about his past. But the truth lies with a criminal organization known as Scorpia. When he agrees to train as an assassin and is given a target that he knows well, Alex must make a choice: work with MI6 once more or betray everything he believes in. Perhaps Rider's most thrilling adventure to date, this spinoff delivers a hearty dose of intrigue, dark secrets, and breakneck action.

Those familiar with Horowitz’s long-running spy series will definitely enjoy seeing all of Alex’s daring escapes and adventures unfold right before their eyes. Artists Vieceli and Brown certainly add to the flair, as action often spills out into the gutters of the pages, and the wide array of panel variation keeps each page fresh. A great way to jump into the popular series.
