THE MASSIVE #1
Writer: Brian Wood
Artist: Kristian Donaldson
Dark Horse Comics | Comic | $3.50

I will try anything that Brian Wood writes. He writes real-sounding characters who have existence before and beyond the page. Wood’s stories are instantly involving and capture the imagination. My favorites from his pen include Demo, Local, and DMZ. Mr. Wood also wrote Channel Zero and Northlanders and will soon be the writer of X-Men and Ultimate X-Men.

Dark Horse Comics says: “In a post-war, post-crash, post-disaster, post-everything world, the environmental-action trawler Kapital scours the earth’s oceans for its mysteriously missing sister ship, The Massive. Captain Callum Israel, a man who has dedicated his life to the ocean, now must ask himself-as our planet dies-what it means to be an environmentalist after the world’s ended. Callum and his crew will come up against pirates, rebels, murderers, and thieves as they struggle to remain noble toward their cause. Can you save a planet that’s already doomed?”
