New York City. Forty-year-old Kevin Walker is a successful trader. He's incredibly rich. He has a young, sexy wife and a son he adores. He has everything. Until...
The mysterious man known as the Surgeon walks into Kevin's office. He takes a seat and tells Kevin to write a suicide note. Trembling but obedient, Kevin does what the Surgeon says. Then, at a word from this well-dressed figure, Kevin jumps out his window and falls fifty stories to his death.
Thus begins THE NAMES, an 8-issue miniseries by writer Peter Milligan (HELLBLAZER, SKREEMER) and artist Leandro Fernandez (Wolverine, Punisher: Max). THE NAMES is a dark, contemporary thriller set in the world of Big Money: hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, market raids, flash crashes. High-end finance that can ruin entire economies, run by a cabal of the world's richest (and sickest) people.
Now, it's up to Katya Walker – the beautiful and deadly wife of the late Kevin – to take on this hidden power structure and find out who killed her husband, and why. No matter what it takes. No matter who she has to kill.
It's The Wolf of Wall Street meets Kill Bill. And heaven help the 1%.

Names #1 (Published by Vertigo; Review by Lindsey Morris; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

The premiere issue of Peter Milligan's newest book is a lightning-fast set-up for what promises to be an enthralling series anchored in high finance and murder. After the alleged suicide of her husband, protagonist Katya quickly finds herself on a hunt for answers - and she's bringing her kick-boxing skills and a big knife with her. The issue moves quickly, lending itself to the sense of urgency felt in the plot. Milligan does a great job with the initial character-building, leaving the reader with a solid foundation for individual personalities. Artist Leandro Fernandez does an excellent job with the varied action sequences, which are full of dynamic poses and uniquely skewed perspectives. Much of the book has this strange, distorted view, especially when the shadowy villains appear on the page. Overall, this is a great first issue, leaving readers engaged and wondering what secrets will be uncovered next.

Sta serie mi ispira una cifra. 
Ho ordinato i primi numeri e non vedo l'ora di provarla.

Ho letto il #1.

Inizio decisamente angosciante in puro stile Milligan. Poi parte la vera storia dove vengono gettate le basi per la caratterizzazione dei personaggi. Intrighi, segreti, miteri e azione.

C'è tutto e sono sicuro che questa serie non deluderà le alte aspettative che mi sono creato dopo aver letto questo numero.

I disegni di Fernandez per me sono azzeccatissimi.

Io gli do 9!

Bene, bene!
Avendo già grandi aspettative sulla serie, commenti come questo non possono che farmi piacere.

Vedrò come prosegue e in caso prendo il tp! Milligan e Vertigo sono un duo da provare sempre.

Now a 9-issue miniseries! Flaherty's brain has been destroyed by The Surgeon's scalpel – and Philip's brain is just as blitzed by the sight of Katya's naked body – as the psychopath called The Surgeon closes in. Sex, violence, enigmatic Dark Loops, dark hearts and a devastating twist turn everything on its head in this issue!
