This sounds pretty cool.

I guess I need to read the Wildstorm solicits more carefully.

The Chosen is on my pull list on the strength of the creators. Peter Snejbjerg is a known commodity for a good reason. His past works on Starman, The Light Brigade, and more tells us that he brought his A game to this project.

John Arcudi, on the other hand, is vastly underrated. Criminally so. I have only been exposed to handful issues of his work, but even I put his Doom Patrol run on par with Grant Morrison's run and his Major Bummer run is universally adored by those who were lucky enough to pick it up.

Can't wait to get my hands on this.

Legendary writer Dennis O'Neil calls this book "the first real superhero tragedy."

Now, that's what I call praising.

Ooh, I think I'm gonna pick this up. Big fan of Snejbjerg's and the story (and its praise) sounds wonderful in the hands of guys like Pete & John Arcudi.

Holey moley... that was a hell of a read!

Almost like the four issues covered the twenty year run of a superhero book.. from every day hero, to god like hero, to outlaw to..

I think I'll need to read it again now that I know where it's going.

But honestly, I started planning just to read a few pages to sample it before reading one of the other books I got today, and just had to stay with it.
Arcudi and Snejbjerg doing career bests.
It's not perfect, but damn it is powerful - plenty of WTF! moments, in the 'They didn't just do that!' sense.

Highly recommended.

I will be picking this up next time I visit my LCBS
