JD Mettler<\/strong> (WildStorm)
\nISBN 1-84576-253-3<\/p>\nRetired superhero and current Mayor of New York City Mitchell Hundred never ducks a controversy, but even he is surprised at the reaction when he decides to enforce the laws against fortune telling by shutting down all the city’s psychics and grifters.<\/p>\n
A bigger problem and a clever window into our protagonist’s past is Automaton, a semi-copycat vigilante who seems to be carrying on the Mayor’s previous career. Peeking into Hundred’s boyhood as a comic fanboy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c no shock there \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we see the events that inspired him, and possibly the seeds of his eventual downfall.<\/p>\n
A further revelatory complication occurs when he decides to serve on a jury rather than dodge his obligations as a citizen. Naturally, it doesn’t go according to plan, but then nothing does in this wonderful, literate, clever series, featuring some of the most human characters ever seen in a funny-book, beautiful art, stunning dialogue and a dull, empty longing once you get to end of these too, too short volumes.<\/p>\n
This is a series you should read, and re-read and tell others to read. I mean it.<\/p>\n
