Global Frequency
It may sound sarcastic to say that a book about bioelectric transhuman killing machines, atomic threats, and an airborne disease that causes you to cry blood is a “fun read,” but that’s exactly what renowned author Ellis has created. Told in 12 stand-alone parts, this graphic novel weaves the story of the Global Frequency organization, a covert-ops smart Mob that specializes in cleaning up government experiments gone awry. Each time a disaster strikes, central command is on the phone with the nearest operative assuring them they are “on the Global Frequency,” and the world needs its high-tech cleanup crew. While the art in the book lends itself to many pencilers (Ha, Lee Bermejo, Chris Sprouse, etc.), the true allure is writer Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Hellblazer). His dark, contemplative, and demented plot devices fit right in with the likes of contemporaries Alan Moore and John Layman and will keep you banging on the flashlight for one more twisted adventure well past dark. --Ben Spanner
