Synopsis

Still believed dead, the Losers use the information taken in their first operation to continue tracking Max, the CIA handler who ordered their deaths. Before the next mission, the team's separate lives show what the conspiracy has cost each of them.

The trail leads to Montserrat, where volcanic ash has buried the villa they need to search. Their excavation becomes a dangerous contest, while CIA agent Marvin Stegler independently investigates the evidence surrounding Max and the corruption protected by his name.

Double Down collects The Losers #7–12, written by Andy Diggle with art by Jock and Shawn Martinbrough. It is the second of five collected volumes.
