review:
'Terminal Hero: The death and life of Rory Fletcher' by Peter Milligan with art by Jae Lee and Piotr Kowalski is a strange story and one which could probably be best told in a graphic novel form.

When Rory Fletcher finds out he has a terminal brain tumor, he will try anything to survive. When a friend discovers something called Treatment Q, Rory is in. The good news is that it ends up attacking the cancer. Along the way, it seems to unlock part of his brain potential giving him a sort of super power. The bad news is that the side effects are really bad and the government wants him to use his new powers to perform government assassinations. When two more people show up that have also taken Treatment Q, Rory's life is about to get more crazy and complicated.

It's an interesting premise, and Rory is supposed to come across as a good guy, but he just doesn't come across that way through the graphic novel. I wanted to like him more, but I had a hard time being sympathetic for him.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Bood Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
