From the ashes of nuclear devastation wrought on the cities of Washington and Moscow thirty years ago, a planetwide protectorate was formed in Britain, an institution known simply as The Agency. Its members enforce their own brand of defensive guardianship through espionage and counteraction. Not all of the Earth is united in this New World Order, though, as individual countries, states, and rival organizations threaten to undermine and destroy all The Agency stands for.
A quite amusing spy spoof, with a bit of steel to it. These are your superheroic type of spies, crazy supervillains, James Bond types. There is also the Red Wasp and Haiku, and the Tomahawks, etc. Many cameos and mentions and homages. Lady Pippa is a hornbag high up in the hierarchy of the Agency. Daedalus the master villain has some statues - one is Doctor Doom, one is Megatron. Very funny. For fans of this, the Avengers, all that sort of stuff, there is no doubt you should enjoy this. There is still an ideological and political conflict at the heart of it, though, so it is not completely lightweight.
