Velvet Templeton is the personal secretary to the director of a super-secret spy agency. Velvet, however, is no Miss Moneypenny; she's a former operative put on desk duty after some questionable shenanigans and now has been framed for murdering the agency's top spy.
Spy movies are a total guilty favorite of mine. I'll go see whatever the new Bond or Mission Impossible movie is and I'll enjoy it despite its misogyny and failure to pass the Bechtel test. Velvet totally hits all my favorite spy movie tropes and its about a lady spy. A MIDDLE AGED lady spy. (Though, I don't think Velvet actually passed the Bechtel test until issue 5). On top of that wonderful twist to the genre, the art and writing are really solid. Will definitely keep reading this series.
