The Mighty #9 (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.

Alpha One is the fastest man on Earth - but Gabriel Cole will have to be faster if he wants to put his plan in motion before his super-powered adversary catches on! He's literally got something cooking that could really give Alpha a hand...but definitely not in the way you're expecting! Written by Peter J. Tomasi & Keith Champagne; Art by Chris Samnee; Cover by Dave Johnson --
