Product Description: From the legendary creative team of Pat Mills (Judge Dredd, Slaine, A.B.C. Warriors) and Kevin O'Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) comes a new kind of hero...It is the none-too-distant future. San Francisco has been destroyed by a massive earthquake, and rebuilt as San Futuro. The Government has publicly endorsed genetics programs designed to create a new race of superheroes. A war against South America has left many of those "heroes" dead...but not enough. Now, men and women with super-powers run rampant. The public's greatest icons hide dark secrets. A killer yet more vicious and evil than any before is slaughtering young women, pursuing a crazed agenda. One man stands between the city and the Abyss. His name is Marshal Law, and he is a hero hunter. But he hasn't found any heroes yet...
Absolutely Brutal Satire Pat Mills is one of the most vicious satirists in any medium anywhere in the world, and Marshal Law has to be his finest work. On the surface, it's a mere parody of superhero comics, but Mills digs beneath the surface to show the true horrors of politics and religion. Kevin O'Neill's art is the perfect compliment. I won't give away the plot -- just believe me when I tell you that anyone who's ever read a Superman comic or wants to know the truth about our culture and society should check out Marshal Law.
