Red Herring #1 And #2

Red Herring is a comic by David Tischman, Philip Bond and David Hahn, on Wildstorm comics (part of DC Comics).

The story follows Maggie MacGuffin an aide of a Congressman in Washington, who suddenly finds her life threatened by entanglement in a large conspiracy.

Not that she knows much about what's going on.

The conspiracy revolves around aliens, Roswell and beyond. Is it all a fake? Is it real? What's The Capricorn Group? Who knows what?

It's that X-Files plot thread again, but it doesn't feel tired: the story is fast paced with an entertaining eponymous hero and plenty of intrigue that made me wonder who to trust and what was really going on.

The artwork is what I think of as standard US comic art, clean and clear with enough detail to warrant a few good looks.

An intriguing start to the story, I enjoyed both issues (#1, #2).
