2007-12-11 Best place to start !

I purchased this title as volume 1 was out of stock at the time. I couldn't have been more lucky!! The intro story (portrait of a mutant) gives you all the background you need to johnny's world and introduces the main characters brilliantly. The rest of the book is chock full of quality strips from there on in and even ties up loose ends from Portrait. Don't get me wrong this is awesome stuff but if your not a fan of early Wagner/Grant 2000ad strips then this is probably not for you although it is the best of the bunch. I find it takes a little effort to get into this sort of stuff but once you have youl be hooked!
