The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BRAIN
BOY #1 from Dark Horse Comics. The script is by Fred Van Lente with pencils by R.B.
Silva, inks by Rob Lean, colors by Ego, and lettering by Nate Piekos of Blambot.
Matt Price is a very powerful telepath, who was raised by
and works for Albright Industries, his parents’ employer until their untimely
deaths. Price is currently on loan to the United States Secret Service to
bodyguard a president of a South American country during the opening of the
United Nations General Assembly. Price already has reservations about this
assignment when things start getting worse when he's asked to "spy" on the President. It really hits the fan when he encounters a
group he can’t “read.”
Dark Horse has another winner as they bring the
short-lived 60’s Dell comic series into the 21st century. Fred Van
Lente (Archer & Armstrong, G.I. JOE) continues to knock it out of the park as
he takes the interesting elements of the original series and runs with it. I definitely
like the look of this book and have high hopes for this
series.
BRAIN BOY #1 is in stores now or available for ordering
at www.DarkHorse.com.
