Cubicle-dwelling Wesley Gibson thought he was the same as everyone else. Wesley’s life changes the day he discovers he is the son of ‘The Killer’, a member of an underground fraternity of supervillains who have secretly been running the world since 1986.
Brought into the fraternity after his father is slain, Wesley comes into his own abilities as the new Killer and a veil is lifted from his eyes as he sees the world he never knew was there.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Some great ideas are on show here but it doesn’t have the complexity to make it a great graphic novel. Worth a look if you want to compare it to the movie.
