(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Cory Walker (C) Bill Crabtree (cover) Cory Walker & Bill Crabtree. FC 32pp $2.95 Ongoing Monthly series In stores the week of April 9th. The Concept: Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? This Issue: In this issue we finally find out what's going on with all those human bombs we've been hearing so much about. Unfortunately, Mark finds himself a hapless victim of a plot for revenge that was set in motion years ago, of which he has nothing to do with! Mark's life begins to take shape, as climactic events and situations cause him to rethink his regular course of action. Trust us, folks, all bets are off. After this one... everything will be different... in a good way, we promise. Cover price $2.95.
