I started reading an advance copy of Brandon Sanderson's comic book inspired "Steelheart" this weekend. So far, it's really good:
At age eight, David watched his father die at the hands of Steelheart, an Epic with superhuman powers. Now, ten years later, David wants to join the Reckoners--a resistance group that assassinates Epics. Only with their help can he hope to take down Steelheart and end his tyrannical rule of what used to be Chicago.
Check out the book's Prologue and trailer. Comic book fans and readers who like action and intricate world building should give it a try when it comes out in September. Place a hold today!

Brubaker nails the story and dialog while Phillips sets the perfect mood with his art. It’s hard to not want to read it in one sitting. Heads up--this is an adult comic with language, violence and sex. -Brian
