review:
'Where is Jake Ellis' by Nathan Edmondson with art by Tonci Zonjic is a continuation of a story told in a previous graphic novel. As a reviewer, some times we don't get to read the previous issues. I was able to catch on with this, but I recommend starting at the beginning.

Jon Moore is an analyst with an alphabet organization. He finds himself in the field and on the run because of a program that has him linked mentally (?) with Jake Ellis. But now Jake has gone dark to Jon. Without Jake, Jon is pretty inept and soon finds himself caught in Bangkok and being interrogated by Mollie Berkshire of the State Department. When Jake finally comes back online for Jon, Jon escapes with Mollie and promises her a big story. Can they stay alive long enough to discover what is going on? And where exactly is Jake Ellis?

I liked it. Jake and Jon are victims of their circumstances. They aren't really friends, but they need each other to survive. The reason they are linked was fuzzy to me in it's explanation, but I assume it was dealt with in the prior issues. Tonci Zonjic's art is pretty good for this style of story. Overall, I liked it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
