Starts Jun 10 Art imitates life; sometimes, life imitates art. Under rare and ominous conditions, the two become inextricably wound into each other, a snake eating its own tail. In ENIGMA, it's even stranger than that - comic art comes to life. Enigma is an existential super-hero, an extraordinary man in a less than extraordinary world. Enigma is a character from Michael Smith's favorite comic book. Michael has left behind his old world - home, job, girlfriend - to find the Enigma, and to find the world within himself. It is a strange, terrifying, exhilarating journey of self-discovery, one that may well be Michael Smith's last chance to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. Written by Peter Milligan, with art by Duncan Fegredo and full-process color by Sherilyn van Valkenburgh. Painted cover by Fegredo with an added fifth metallic color. Suggested for Mature Readers. Deluxe Format. Cover price $2.50.
