Avatar Plug Of The Week: Christos Gage's Absolution #2

Published Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:39:00 -0500

The second issue of Law And Order writer Christos Gage's superhero cop serial killer drama from Avatar ships in America tomorrow and the UK on Thursday.

Absolution, written by Gage and drawn by Roberto Viacava sees a superhero granted police status find that he can't deal with horrific crimes he investigates, and so starts killing the perpetrators in his own time.

He is then called upon to investigate his own crimes.

Basically we're talking Dexter meets Green Lantern, but without the cop out that the protagonist is a psychopath.

A preview of the comic book appears below.
