When I see Dave Wachter’s name on a book, it goes on my must buy list. In this case, I received a review copy from NetGalley but will also be buying a copy. Wachter is the perfect artist for this book. His classic art style combined with the monsters’ designs made for a very good looking book. I would pause to stare at individual panels even though it would interrupt the story flow. Even though I was interested based because of Wachter’s art, the story was up to the level of the images. All I will say is that it is fitting that humanity brought this on themselves.
Highly recommended.

Mark Millar has been on a roll with what I have read in recent years. He seems to be focusing more on blending the emotional content with the action/adventure. MPH is his take on the speedster mythos. A gang member ends up in jail. While there he ends up trying a drug that gives him super-speed. And that is only the start of this epic. He puts new twists and turns into this tale. And I continue to enjoy the fact that his series have a beginning, middle, and end. The wrap up to the story is classic. I can’t wait to read more of Millar’s work.
Highly recommended.
