Imagine a world where everyone has superpowers.
That is, except you.
You are the same old turgid, miserable, lonely loser, you've always been. What's needed is a return to normality, to devolve back from Superhuman to just human - and there's only one man for the job: down-at-heal, divorced New York plumber, Michael Fisher.
Well, before I even noticed the cover credit I'd seen the art and it screamed out D'Israeli!
To be honest I have never ever read Titan Comics. I just do not go to comic shops any more so I don't see them. What I've seen of the various trades, however, does tell me there is some good grapefruit out there (but as a diabetic I mustn't have grapefruit...ahhh. An explanation).
Let me start off by saying that this is a very well written story and the pacing is also very well done. The little twists and turns in the story make it a great read.
Now, the art. D'Israeli has a unique colouring style that stands out like a nuclear blast in a MacDonalds. You see it and realise someone who really knows colour is at work. And if you are going to write a story like this you want someone who has the skill to make it a truly unforgettable book. D'Israeli.
The detail, architecture -none of it can ever be faulted. And take a look at the pages that follow because if this doesn't convince you to buy a copy -it goes on sale 18th November so don't be dumb and get ripped off by buying over-priced back issues! This will go on my shelf next to D'Israeli's War of The Worlds trilogy (that he did the art on).
Surely this is a must buy???
