One
year after the catastrophic events that ended the first series, Red
Team survivors Eddie Mellinger and Trudy Giroux are in the doldrums.
Considered a political liability, the two are kept busy on small-time
cases by their suspicious NYPD commanders... but a chance encounter in
the ghetto gives them a chance to get back in the game. Trouble is, it
means going far beyond the law… which is what almost got them killed
last time around.
"Red Team: Double Tap, Center Mass
features the return of two of my favorite characters, Detectives Eddie
Mellinger and Trudy Giroux of the NYPD," says writer Garth Ennis. "The
first Red Team saw them survive by the skin of their teeth; now
they're dropped right back in at the deep end, with their growing
feelings for each other only complicating matters. Writing this series
is a real treat for me, and getting to work with Craig Cermak again
makes it even better."
"This is Ennis at his
finest, working the inside of a cop shop gone sideways," says Dynamite
Senior Editor Joseph Rybrandt. "Along with Craig Cermak, one of the
finest artists working in comics today, the team delivers a drama that
rivals anything on television."
"Dynamite's
ongoing working relationship with Garth Ennis has been one of the most
rewarding in our time as a publisher," says Dynamite CEO/Publisher, Nick
Barrucci. "He is truly a master of genre, and the first Red Team series was one of his best crime series to date."
Red Team: Double Tap, Center Mass reunites Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys)
with up-and-coming artist Craig Cermak for another nine-issue run of
hardboiled crime comics at their finest! Look for the first issue in
stores on July 20th!
