The Mighty #8 (Of 12)

is a comic book limited series scheduled for 12 issues from writers Peter Tomasi and Keith Champagne, and published by DC Comics. It is a story of friendship and mystery based on the idea that our world has one superhero, known as Alpha-One, a soldier who developed powers during World War II. The Mighty follows the relationship Alpha-One develops with the man who leads his "clean-up crew," Section Omega. It is unique in that it is not tied into the DC Comics Universe and has its own continuity to follow. Many may have dismissed this series, which is too bad because it is much darker and more twisted than it appears; it uses our preconceptions about Superman--and the role of the superhuman hero--to subvert our expectations, and it tells a hell of an intriguing story. A good monthly read from Tomasi and company.

Gabriel Cole's family has fallen apart, and Alpha One has a nuclear bomb! But Alpha's pride could be his undoing when Cole finds himself alone in the "hero's" headquarters…and his rage begins to lead him down a terrifying road! Written by Peter J. Tomasi and Keith Champagne; Art by Chris Samnee; Cover by Dave Johnson --
