Great to see a very good artist on the book, at last. The story unfolds very
well, and the new direction is interesting.

One teeny weeny peeve, though: I know this is an American comic book written
by an American mostly for Americans, but I find it slightly awkward that
"changing the world" starts with two examples which are just covering
American interests. There might have been more of a global feel to those
new-found RS goals if the mission in Greece hadn't struck at terrorists
targeting *American* interests.

But I suppose upcoming issues will have occasions to cover an international
angle.

So you're saying (in reference to the first example which you don't cite,
regarding torching cocaine fields) that cocaine isn't a problem in France?  

When did that happen, 'cause I must've missed that story on Headline News.
