A very interesting take on what having superheroes might actually be like. Told in sort of an "After Action Report" style in the wake of government created super beings unleashed upon the world.

Dernier volet de la trilogie sur les surhommes de Warren Ellis, celui-ci est le plus ambitieux et le plus dévastateur, sans pour autant n'être qu'une succession d'affrontements apocalyptiques. Toujours aussi cynique, il extrapole à partir d'éléments communs à la littérature super-héroïque des 5 dernières décennies et construit un avenir sombre construit sur des idées de grandeur. Fascinant et déprimant en même temps, peut-être parfois un peu pompeux, mais d'une intelligence rare.

Ellis pulls it off again. This is insanely sane. It's unthinkable and yet the whole idea of governments working on "superhuman" projects that will go wrong and end up destroying the world is probably real enough to be something to get people worrying that it could happen.

The art is great, the ideas are original and it doesn't pull any punches.

At first I thought the way of telling the story was kind of lame but it grew on me and the guy telling the story was hilarious.

I have been hitting up the graphic novels lately (Sept/Oct 2012). I'm choosing titles at random that happen to be available on Overdrive. It is hit or miss. This is a hit. I'd rather read it in paper format rather than ebook, though. The art is gorgeous. Not that I know anything about graphic novel art. The story is sort of hokey; but interesting.
