Synopsis

WHY WE LOVE IT: Mike Carey is one of our favorite writers working in comics today with a track record of sophisticated, characterdriven series like The Unwritten and Lucifer. We're honored he's chosen to write his first independent original ongoing series at BOOM!
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: Fans of smart, deconstructed superhero stories like IRREDEEMABLE and DEATHMATCH will get a deeply human look at the effect of super powers on real people's lives.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Superpowered people are inexplicably rising from the streets and there's
a big problem: Too many supervillains, not enough superheroes. Heroes are dying, and cops are dying twofold. Humanity is underpowered and good people are suffering untold tragedies trying to stem the flow. Beat cop Leo Winters is one of those struggling to make a difference. And the answer just might come in the form of two lowlifes with a dark secret.

À propos de l?auteur

Mike Carey is a British writer whose work spans comics, novels, film scripts, and TV shows. After writing shorts for British sci-fi comic 2000 AD and a few one-shots for Caliber Comics during the 1990s, he was offered DC/Vertigo’s LUCIFER — henceforth the longest running and most successful Sandman-related spinoff to date. While continuing to work with DC on Vertigo series like CROSSING MIDNIGHT and graphic novels like GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, he took over as lead writer for Marvel’s X-MEN (now X-MEN: LEGACY) in 2006. His work includes DC/Vertigo’s HELLBLAZER, Marvel’s ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR, the FELIX CASTOR novels, THE STEEL SERAGLIO (with Linda and Louise Carey), and DC/Vertigo’s THE UNWRITTEN (with Peter Gross).
