@Chris Roberson

As I said, this is a superspy story, and the focus of our attention is going to be on the spy characters like Captain Action, Operator 5, and Black Venus. We’ll be seeing various masked characters and superheroes in supporting roles, but they won’t be stealing center stage. So Codename: Action is thematically linked to Masks in a lot of ways, but it isn’t a direct sequel as such.

@Chris Roberson

The focus of our attention is on a trio of superspies: Operator 5, Operative 1001, and Black Venus. This is a jet-age supersonic adventure, and I very much wanted to capture the feel of the superspy movies and TV shows of the era. There are masked heroes and vigilantes in the mix too, of course, but they play a supporting role.
