The Chosen

Rating:
Summary: Sensational
Review: Mark Millar, mainly known for his run on Marvel's Ultimate X-Men and his excellent Ultimates, as well as his current excellent Wanted title for Top Cow, penned this three issue mini-series for Dark Horse. When a young teen named Jodie miraculously survives getting a semi-truck dropped on his noggin, it is revealed that he is to play a pivotal role in the armageddon to come. Soon afterward, he begins to learn he has otherworldly abilities, and much like Jesus himself, he begins performing "miracles" such as healing the sick, and even a good 'ol fashioned resurrection as well. Millar's story is engaging to say the least, even though the chain of events that string together the story can seem to go a little too quick. The twist ending however is worth the price of admission alone, and Peter Gross' artwork combined with the washed out colors of Jeanne McGee give Chosen a look all it's own. All in all, fans of mad Scotsman Millar should definitely pick this up.
