The One

Now the intro by Alan Moore rocks it truly rocks. He dates the comic book and sets the tone perfectly. He even let's the dirty secret slip before the comic goes on that this came out before Watchmen and Dark Knight. The two comics given credit to changing the superhero world forever but this is the same type of comic. I have read this once before and don't remember it well so join me as we journey into The One.

The comic starts with an article explaining why A-bomb will save the world by helping us re-wire our brains. That is truly a strong place to start and has a lot of room for growth.  This is the story of war and how it is being used by companies to abuse the all mighty money of this world and control us. This event is caused by a man that makes weapons causing WW III always a great place to start.

Then it gets weird and in pops they strange geeky looking man with glasses and this awesome look. He is The One and fights The Other. The classic tale of good and evil done in only the way Vetich could do it with style and flair.

Now to the creepy and weird it's about government made superheroes the American one in hidden by the government and the Russian one made by a Joseef Mangele if you don't know who that is he is one of the worst of the Nazi war criminals. Truly a evil man and this is of course why this comic made this list.

Next up Incest  two of the superheroes are only attracted to each other due to hating normal people.  Any other version of this story they would not be brother and sister but we don't cover normal stories here so yeah that happened.

Then it turned into a tale about clones and then a debate between good and evil and the nature of gods and society. This damn book hit everything I like to think about and talk about in my personal life. This was one of the best comics I have ever had the pleasure of reading and needs to be a staple in every comic book fans library.  The reason for the super brief overview this time is well this needs to be read without much know about it to have the desired effect. Two comics entries in one day I feel good and the next one well that will be a surprise.
