Okay, this is not the greatest book on its own, but if you love Downton Abbey (check) and are a fan of graphic novels (check check), then you have to read this. It is spot on as a parody of the PBS hit- right down to the characters sporting likenesses to the actors. In this take, Agent Gates is a secret operative with a bionic leg, working for British SIS, deep undercover as a valet for the lord of Devonton Abbey. He is out to prevent war, while another secret operative named Thompson (aka Thomas) is working in conjunction with the Black Hand to start a world war. If you love the show too much, you may be offended by some of the characterizations, but if you have a sense of humor and like the show, there are some nice frames to tide us over until the next season of the "real thing."
