Wanted is a 6-issue comic book mini-series, written by Mark Millar. The storyline is slightly twisted as it features a world where, instead of the usual super-heroes protecting the weak, super villains have taken control of the planet instead, with several groups battling to establish unchallenged supremacy. Protagonist Wesley Gibson, growing up a nerdy, mama's boy with confidence issues, then finds out that his dead father was a leading villain - The Killer. He inherits his dad's 'powers' - super aim with any weapon. With this, he embarks on a new journey battling other villains who are looking to exterminate him.
In another wacky slight, the extinct Superheroes live only in memory as storybook heroes - just like your world and mine! :)
With an engaging storyline and strong pacing throughout, not to mention a totally unexpected plot, this is something that all avid readers should look out for. Why? I did not put it down till the last issue was done!
