The Old Guard

The Old Guard: Book One: Opening fire & Book Two: Force multiplied, Greg Rucka, art by Leandro Fernandez, 338 pgs.

These two volumes follow a small band of immortals.  They are experienced warriors who will do some jobs for hire. In the first book, a new "team member" is discovered.  As you can imagine, being unable to die has its pros and cons.

In the second volume we meet up with another immortal who was thought to be dead.  It isn't a loving reunion.  

This has been made into a movie available on Netflix.  I watched the movie not realizing the source.  The books are good but I really enjoyed the movie. Not often I can say that. Either way, the story is cool and recommended.  It gives you the chance to think what you might accomplish in a 6,000 year life.
