Comments: As this book starts off we see a man who comes across as calm while doing something very bad. Is it bad though well depends on how you look at it. This man next visits a mental hospital where things get violent and exciting. One patient does get to have some fun for a short time.
This comic is full of ultra violence. Yes people are being killed.
There is a scene with two fireman in a hospital and the one Mike he is a hero. He acts on instinct knowing just what to do to save lives.
Project Coventry was a place where people with special attributes were. Not much at all is said about this place, it is a mystery. There is also another mystery here as a mad man is loose and killing. Is it out of revenge?
Eddie another one of these special people does definitely have a special ability. Mike is another one and there are a few others to. Eddie goes to see Frank and he does not look well.
Some people got cool super powers from Project Coventry but Frank did get an ability not one that most people would want.
Eddie and Frank do get into one violent battle as Eddie goes all out to beat Frank.
We are shown everything that happened at Project Coventry these six people went through a lot. They are augmented and then finely tuned.
The art has a dark side to it and it does show these solders off as men and woman who went through a lot. They look like normal people yet have extraordinary abilities. Frank is illustrated as a psycho.
The final battle starts and its Frank vs Mike. Mike fights to protect others and Frank for revenge. The fight is a hard hitting no holds barred one and the art clearly brings this across.
This is a story about creating better solders and in trying to do so creating not so better humans. People are still people no matter if they have a super power or not.
