Kirkus Review

Young CIA agent-in-training Benjamin Ripley switches sides--or is he just going undercover?--in this graphic version of the third Spy School caper. Sticking to the plot of the 2015 original, this episode sees the talented math whiz recruited by nefarious organization SPYDER after being (unjustly, he fumes) kicked out of the CIA's academy. While training in a hidden school for evildoers with other prospective villains, including Ashley Sparks, a gushy former competitive gymnast with a fondness for portmanteau words (sweet + awesome = swawesome), Ben gets wind of a dastardly scheme to make billions on government construction projects. Hot if inept pursuit by both rival espionage agencies takes Ben from a secret underground command center to the top of the Statue of Liberty. But while the action has a rapid flow in the art (Sarkar is good at portraying fights, high-speed chases, and explosions), several characters are drawn with generic features and such a limited range of expressions that even with help from the cast gallery, it's hard to tell them apart easily. Still, along with coming through in the suspenseful climax--thanks to clever deductions and quick thinking--by the end, Ben has also achieved a long-sought breakthrough with Erica Hale (code name "Ice Queen"), a superbly omnicompetent schoolmate who has his heart as well as his back. The cast largely presents white. Will satisfy fans but could be better. (Graphic thriller. 8-12) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
