Polar Volume 1: Came from the Cold (Second Edition) is the basis of a Netflix Original Movie!

Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world's most deadly spy—the former agent known as Black Kaiser—is a wanted man that's wanted... dead!

On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he's not in the habit of dying.

A guns-blazing espionage action-adventure in the grand tradition of Jim Steranko and Frank Miller, this graphic novel by Victor Santos (Mice Templar, Filthy Rich) is a brutal, fast-tempo story of revenge that Newsarama says is "as ice-cold as its name."

Originally a silent webcomic, Santos has crafted a script as hard-boiled and intriguing as his art for this hardcover collection.
