Hi kids! Do you like violence? Wanna see characters with names like "Fuckwit" and "Shithead"? Then Mark Millar is here with the comic just for you: Wesley Gibson is a lowly office drone who spends his life being depressed, miserable and downtrodden - until the day everything changes and he is catapulted in a world of supervillain assassins. Best enjoyed with your brain switched off. Some very cool ideas and nicely excited set-pieces contained within. Like most of Miller's work however - it does feel like it was written by a white, snotty teenage boy who has issues when it comes to - well - anyone different than him. But - wait - ooh - look - explosions!
