Hollywood will be lucky if it can pull off a caper flick that's half as entertaining as THE LOSERS

This is MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino

They're down - but not out.

The Company thought it had taken care of the Losers. After they saw a little too much at the wrong place and time, their chopper went down in flames with no survivors and plenty of deniability - and the Losers went down in the records as just another team of black ops foot soldiers tragically lost to one of the CIA's shadow wars.

But the Losers were just playing dead - and now that they've seen what the Company is really up to, they're through with games. Now it's time to take the fight back to its source.

Time for some payback...

Collecting the first six issues of Andy Diggle and Jock's explosive new Vertigo series, The Losers: Ante Up spins a riveting web of corruption, espionage and betrayal as crisp and sharp as a freshly minted C-note.
