The Losers, Vol. 3: Trifecta

The Losers, a black-ops team, are hunting the handler who betrayed them. Their trail leads to Qatar, where they learn that Max has acquired an offshore oil rig.

On arrival they land in a volatile contest between covert CIA interests and local power struggles. Some of the players are working on schemes meant to provoke a wider conflict.

The pursuit then moves on to Turkmenistan. Aisha takes on a rescue mission there, and the team uncovers more of how Max's operation works.

A separate flashback goes back to the Afghanistan mission that left the team marked for death. It supplies a key piece of the story behind their revenge.

The volume gathers three linked stories from issues #13 to 19 of The Losers. Andy Diggle writes, with art by Jock, Nick Dragotta and Alé Garza. The question driving it is how far the team can follow Max before the same forces that wrote them off close in.
