Ok
so as some know I enjoy a good comic book, and or graphic novel as much
as the next geek! I've been getting into the Company Man series since
meeting the creator Pete Hernandez III a couple of years ago, and when speaking to him recently he told me about the WARHEAD book, and how it's something I should check out but to take my time with it.
See
If your looking for some light reading this graphic novel isn't for
you. But if you are looking to get totally captured, and taken by a
story like nothing you have read in a long time then stay right there,
and keep reading... You see while Warhead features a total of 247 pages
it will keep you engaged all the way through, and this much I can guarantee to
you! You won't be bored.
I've become an instant fan of both this series,
and this book which now I'm on my second time thru it, and I can
honestly say that it's an excellent addition to the storyline, and the
overall mythology created here by Pete Hernandez III.
As
soon as you start reading Warhead you will find yourself relating to
the characters who deal with real issues, while still having what we
would call "Super-powers." With this book "Warhead" Pete enlisted the
help of Writer Kerry Cepero
who has delivered like I said a great addition to the overall
storyline. This being the very first book based on the trilogy "The
Company Man"
which is a comic book series created by Pete Hernandez III.
The art work, and Illustration was done by Pete Hernandez III again...
This
time around Kerry Cepero takes us right into the action with character
David Vega. The story starts at a US EMBASSY a white building that has
stood here since 1961. "A fortified establishment which serves as a
beacon between this nation and one of it's greatest friends."
After
having just woken up at 3pm for graveyard guard duty which by the time
the morning is over around half a million people will have died, and
millions more could suffer from sickness, and it's all his fault. Soon
we find David being chased by the mysterious corporate company
"Daltrix," and he finds himself in the cross hairs of a radical African
Military Group.
David is driven to the edge of sanity
as he finds out that not all super powers are worth having... I honestly
found myself lost in this story created by Kerry Cepero who really has managed something here which I'm sure will connect with a lot of readers, and with the art work by Pete this really does have a real cinematic feel to how the story flows.
This
would be an excellent book to turn into a movie someday, and I hope
it's only the start of the line for books collaborated by Kerry Cepero, and Pete Hernandez III. Together
they have really created something short of a masterpiece here, and I
hope more fans take note. This is about as good a book as you will find
around in the indi circuit today.
If you get into Company Man I'm sure you will find that it does indeed speak to both young, and old readers in it's own way unlike many books out there do... So with that said...
Welcome to WARHEAD!
