    Short summary describing this issue.

    The Day I Tried To Live last edited by gravenraven on 07/08/23 10:34AM View full history

    The fan-favorite series DV8 returns with the eight-part "Gods & Monsters" arc written by critically acclaimed writer Brian Wood (DEMO, DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) with art by up-and-comer Rebekah Isaacs (Drafted). In their short history, the mismatched band of superpowered losers, freaks and masochists of DV8 have seen a lot and done even more, but it's nothing compared to this. As Gem Antonelli (a.k.a. Copycat) is debriefed in a holding cell, the story of how eight troubled teenagers were briefly gods to a prehistorical world unfolds against the backdrop of a cataclysmic disaster. "The Day I Tried To Live" is part one in this amazing and tragic story unlike anything set in the WildStorm Universe before.

    Deep man, real deep. 0

      (No Spoilers) Wow!  This is a really deep comic.  Brian Wood has taken these characters that were once simply the "evil Gen 13", and presented what is almost a psychological study of them.  When Warren Ellis took these characters into their own series, his interest in the characters seemed to be that they were screwed up individuals and he wanted to explore that.  As much as I usually like Ellis' work, I didn't think his Dv8 run was that great.  Although he did tell some stories with these ch...
