Legendary Comics released Axiom today, a 144 page book featuring artwork from Ed Benes and colorist Dinei Ribeiro. This is the publisher's first superhero comic, written by Mark Waid.
Axiom and Thena, aliens from another world, arrive on earth and exhibit extraordinary powers. Benevolent and godlike, they cure humanity's ills and usher in an era of peace, prosperity and complacency.
A series of tragic events reveals another side of Axiom: humanity's savior becomes its worst nightmare. A Defense Department analyst, armed with only scientific knowledge and courageous spirit takes on the turned hero in a fight for mankind's survival!
Aside from this being Legendary's first book featuring a superhero, it's an original piece, not based on another property, which is primarily what Legendary has been doing with their comics the past couple of years. The new book is available for $19.99 through your local comic retailer or through Amazon.
