Step into a world of gritty action and timeless mystery with this brand-new paperback edition of The Old Guard Book One: Opening Fire. Written by the legendary Greg Rucka (Lazarus, Black Magick, Wonder Woman) and illustrated by the masterful Leandro Fernández (The Punisher, Northlanders), this is the acclaimed series that inspired the hit Netflix film.

This Mature Readers title is a sophisticated blend of hard-boiled mercenary action and deep historical drama, exploring the heavy toll of living forever.

The Story

The story follows a small group of soldiers, led by a woman named Andy, who have a very unusual problem: they cannot die. They have fought in every major conflict throughout human history, serving as a shadow-army for hire. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep. When their unique abilities are exposed by a former CIA operative, the team must fight to protect their freedom and their mystery while welcoming a new immortal into their weary ranks.

Why You Should Read It

  • Expert Storytelling: Greg Rucka delivers a grounded, emotionally resonant script that treats the concept of immortality with realistic weight and cynicism.

  • Stunning Noir Art: Leandro Fernández’s high-contrast, moody artwork creates a visceral atmosphere that perfectly matches the high-stakes world of international espionage.

  • Character Driven: Beyond the gunfights, this is a profound exploration of loss, fatigue, and the enduring bonds formed over centuries of survival.

  • Complete First Arc: This volume collects issues #1-5, providing the definitive start to the saga.

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.
