Axiom Gets Bigger As It Hits The Shelves
Back in March, Rich told us about a new superhero comic coming from Legendary by Mark Waid and Ed Benes. It's called Axiom and the tagline is "When humanity's savior becomes its worst nightmare." Not bad, eh? Kind of gives that, "What if Superman had gone evil?" feel. At the time it was listed at 130 pages for $19.99 and we had some interior pages but no cover. Now, five months later, we have a cover image and the book has been bumped up to 144 pages but still $19.99 and hits books stores today.
The synopsis reads:
Axiom and Thena, aliens from another world, arrive on earth and exhibit extraordinary powers. Benevolent and godlike, they cure humanity's ills and usher in an era of peace, prosperity and complacency.
A series of tragic events reveals another side of Axiom: humanity's savior becomes its worst nightmare. A Defense Department analyst, armed with only scientific knowledge and courageous spirit takes on the turned hero in a fight for mankind's survival!
I'm going to be reviewing this graphic novel later this week, but here is the cover and interiors.
