Back when the first issue of Enigma Cipher debuted, Scoop picked it as #1 on our Best Comics of 2006 list. The second issue took what seemed like forever to come but, now those who missed this clever, engaging mystery can find out why we thought so highly of it. The collected edition of this story, now in trade paperback, makes a great read and would be a first rate thriller as a movie. It’s the story of Casey Williams, who along with her fellow graduate students gets a bizarre bit of homework: decrypt a recently discovered Nazi code left over from World War II. Of course, to make it interesting, nothing works out simply and all sorts of death and danger follow. What could be so dangerous about Enigma? Give this book a whirl and find out.
