A big city is the location. A farmers market is the setting. As people stop to purchase some fruit a kid runs through the crowd with a shirt full of microwavable noodle cups. He is abruptly stopped by some strange metallic ball that explodes in front of him. A large black man stops him to speak for a moment. After finding out what he wanted about the boy he shows up at his run down house. This is how we meet Rex and the issues in his life. After making Rex's parents who give him up for a generous amount of money we see Radcliffe the large man bring him back to the government mansion where he will be residing. After months of training we see Rex on an operating table with his arms cut open. After the procedure Radcliffe gives Rex a costume and has him steal and kill some people for him we find out. After Rex gets orders of a new mission he second guesses, he goes out where a man gets thrown in front of his scooter by Atom Eve. I actually got the the end of this issue thinking there was more to read but alas I have to wait until the next one. This is a very interesting and good read. Lately I have been up & down with some of Kirkman's work but this is worth the money. I would recommend this title.
