BOOK BLURB:
From the sick and twisted mind of Garth Ennis, co-creator of "Preacher", and the vicious pencil of Darick Robertson, artist of "Transmetropolitan", comes a darkly hilarious story that will change the way you look at superheroes forever! Hughie wants information, and for that, he'll need to talk to the Legend, the cantankerous caretaker of the secret history of superheroes. But he has a job to do first: re-kill the recently revived Blarney Cock! But will the Legend's answers help Hughie, or just deepen the mystery of Butcher's hatred for the Seven? This controversial series continues to explore the dark side of superheroics!
REVIEW:
Many readers of Falcata Times will know just how highly we prize any offering by Garth Ennis who we just can’t wait to receive. Lets face it, you have his typical humour his touch of the weird and above all a blending of the best and worst of emotional traits within each of his characters that make him essential reading. Personally I’m a massive fan of Wee Hughie who brings a touch of innocence to the tale along with a growing understanding of the world in which he lives as he tries to help prevent others suffering from the same heartache that he went through. Add a burgeoning love interest for the character along with strong storylines and it’s a Superhero tale for the noughties. Essential reading for all graphic novel aficionado’s although with an adult theme.
