SAVIOR

What if the MOST DANGEROUS man on Earth was also the one trying to do the MOST GOOD? The world is real. The people are normal. And then he appears! A man appears with no background, no memory, and no place to call home. But he has powers. Powers that seem resemble those we learned about in Sunday School. Could it be?! Is it possible that this man is much, much more than that? Is it possible that he is our “SAVIOR” in the flesh? And if he is, then why doesn’t he know who he is or how he got his powers? Strip away the spandex and trappings of the traditional comic superhero and ask yourself a simple question: “How would I react if GOD suddenly appeared in front of me, but everything we had been taught about him seems out of whack?” What you would have left, beyond your own doubts, is the presence of a man who has to deal with the fact that his appearance in the world is seen as both a blessing and a curse. Some will see him as a hero, a messiah. Other will see him as an enemy because there isn’t room for a person with god-like powers to disrupt the status quo of what we already believe. Some will rally behind him. Others will denounce him. But none of us will be able to ignore him.

It's an 8 issue mini. The Crain art should be terrific.

 

 

During Image Expo McFarlane's press conference he said that that the 8 issues are done.

He specifically stated the first arc is completed.

 

 

Sounds like he wants to do more, I hope this is as good as it looks

is this like bishop in the xmen cartoon? when he went back in time to stop fake- gambit (mystique) from assassinating senator Kelly? but arrived with no memory and strange unexplainable powers?

Spawn mixed with Miracleman. Wonder how long before we see Anti-Savior?

Just picked up the 1st and 2nd issues

Thought the story was good and ready to see how the first arc unfolds. If you have not read it you really should give it a try! Also, as expected the Clayton Crain cover and interior art is outstandingly! (Big fan of his Xforce art)
