Zack Overkill used to be a supervillain, until he joined a witness protection program. Now he sits in a dull office job and keeps his head down. When he finds a drug that gives him powers again, his old life starts to pull at him. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips turn the superhero story into noir.
It suits fans of crime comics who enjoy seeing the superhero genre from the villain's side. It is dark and violent, with a sardonic voice.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
