Review quote:

"I waited years to read this story and Millar did not disappoint.  Once again, Mark proves he has one of the most original voices in comics, not to mention a particularly distinct grasp of the comic book super-hero.  And good God, is it gorgeous to look at too."—Kevin Smith

"Millar takes a massive gamble here with one of the world's most enduring icons."—The London Sunday Times
