The wait is over! Click the image above to get started with the first chapter of Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N.: Suspended, an all-new Action Age Adventure by Chris Sims, Chris Piers, and Steve Downer!
In the first chapter, meet Penelope Devlin, one of the top agents of the Advanced Counter-Terrorist Intelligence and Operations Network! Yesterday, she saved the world. Now she’s got to deal with the consequences, and if idle hands are the Devil’s workshop, then an idle super-spy is in for a world of trouble!

And be back next Wednesday for Chapter 2, followed on August 12 for the conclusion, featuring pin-ups, a letters page, and of course, all-out adventure in the Adequately Affable Action Age Style!

The Action Age has earned my undying love for Ricky Devlin.

Well, I know who’ll I be casting as Ricky for the Woman of Action movie… but I’m still not decided on Penny herself. Suggestions?
Of course its a great story, I wouldn’t want to make the movie otherwise!
Great to see you turn your pen (keyboard) to `slightly more serious’ writing Chris 1. Quality art Chris 2; really crisp, very good story telling/flow. Like the coloring style Steve; adds good form, and not to heavy.
Assemble abundant Action Age!

Great job Actioneers! Special props to Chris “Embankment” Piers and Steve “Goose” Downer. Great facial expressions on the characters, and the cover has a nice Maurice Binder quality. Looking forward to next week!

I swear Ricky’s a dead ringer for David Tennant. Even if he (Ricky, not David) is a walking British stereotype, but you know it comes from somewhere. Mostly Ricky.
Gee, I wonder if Penelope gets caught up in this adventure, or if she ends up just working on her tan?
Won’t spoil the villain organization name here, but best evil group name ever. I wonder what it stands for?

Love it.
I thought the same thing! Ricky looks a LOT like David Tennant. But in my head, I hear Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster doing his dialogue.

Well, Ricky’s DEFINITELY dying.

What now?? Steve-O, Sims, and Piers strike back with Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N.!!!(Which, is actually quite difficult to type).
Keep up the good work, guys!

Since I got to draw it, yes, I cast Tennant as Ricky. Not sure if Sims cares about that or not.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Great work all around. Whatever they’re paying you, it’s not enough!
Looking forward to more.

WOMAN OF A.C.T.I.O.N. has everything I want and more! Kudos to all!!

It’s good – especially like the dialogue. Artwork is nice and clean – well drawn. Not sure where it’s going… will this continue in a 70s spy thriller vein? More please…
