A comic app, CIA: Operation Ajax is not just another graphic novel. Recounting an exciting tale focusing on espionage, CIA: Operation Ajax tells the tale of how the intelligence bureau toppled an Iranian regime.
While I cannot verify the authenticity of the story told, I must say that it is still very engaging although the storyline should not really affect the experience with the app. The fact that a movie adaptation of the plotline is in production should bear testament enough to the depth and quality of the enriching storyline given.
What I liked about CIA: Operation Ajax would be the interactivity which sets it apart from other virtual graphic novels. Modes of interaction include the ability to explore files and read through documentations, little details that enrich an already fulfilling experience.
I loved the inclusion of authentic declassified documents, which adds credibility to the storyline and gives readers a feel of what sleuthing is like.
For $4.99, I would recommend CIA: Operation Ajax for the download. An engaging tale, this is one story that will keep you hooked for many hours to come.
