  <default_description>In the hard-hitting tale of espionage and betrayal THE LOSERS: ANTE UP, an elite U.S. Special Forces unit is targeted for assassination when they unintentionally uncover the illegal and immoral practices of the C.I.A. Believed dead and with nothing to lose, the team of wet works operatives regroup and begin a mission of revenge against the organization that betrayed them.  Only as the team goes after a corrupt oil conglomerate with ties to the C.I.A., do they truly begin to realize the depths of the conspiracy they have discovered and the impossible odds of survival that they face.</default_description>

I love heist stories, or really, any kind of story that sets a complicated plan in motion, only to have everything go horribly wrong.<br/><br/>But, as a consequence of the type of story this is, I have to confess that it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8605754">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If I called it a mindless thrill ride, I'd be doing it an injustice. The Losers is one of those rare long-run titles that has an actual beginning, middle and end that seems to have been plotted fully from the start. So many series run in arcs that try to imitate a single story, but The Losers comes ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40238171">more...</a>]]></body>

That is saying a lot because he was standing in the shadow of such great minds as Warren Ellis, Alan Moore and Garth Ennis.

    <body><![CDATA[A good start to the series, though not perfect.  It took me a little bit of time to get all of the main characters straight.  The story is pretty straight-forward; a special forces team betrayed by the US trying to clear their names.  It's pretty standard stuff, but well done.<br/><br/>The art is ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46328430">more...</a>]]></body>
