This one is Morrison let loose on an old Marvel character that he can redo in his own way. The result is a fairly straight forward sci-fi supe character. Noh-varr (groan) is a Kree warrior whose dimension ship crashes on Earth where the crew are wiped out by a crazy trillionaire in an (early) Iron Man suit by the name of Midas.
Noh-Varr (still groaning) is understandingly pissed off at this and proceeds to carve a giant ‘Fuck you!’ into New York before dedicating himself to turning Earth into the new Kree planet. He doesn’t get much opportunity as he is soon tackling a living sentient corporation as well as Midas and his hunter / killer daughter.
It’s a groovy little book that fairly romps along. It’s very much Grant’s standard superhero mode but as his standard mode is light years ahead of most others best then that’s something I can be pretty happy about.
