The Guy in the Chair #1–4 from Dark Horse Comics is a fast-moving spy thriller that blends action, romance, and comedy into a tight four-issue story.

Written by Hannah Rose May and Utkarsh Ambudkar, with art by Guillermo Sanna, the series follows Abhi — a tactical analyst who suddenly finds himself pulled out from behind the screen and into the field when the operative he supports shows up at his door on the run.

In this review, I break down:
• The full story arc across issues #1–4
• The character dynamics between Abhi and Merlin
• The breakneck pacing and efficient world-building
• The bright, energetic art contrasted with intense action
• The pop-culture-heavy dialogue and why it may be divisive

While the series could have benefited from one more issue, it ultimately reads extremely well as a complete collection.

If you enjoy spy stories with heart, humor, and momentum, this is absolutely worth checking out.

Let me know in the comments what you thought of the dialogue style and whether you’d want to see more stories in this world.
