5.0 out of 5 stars NOW THIS IS A SERIAL KILLER..., July 31, 2007

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

It took twenty pages or so for this book to hook me but when it did, it had me good and tight. This TPB reprints the six-issue series and is a superb example of modern cyber horror. In the near future, when crime is out of control, the government calls upon private law enforcement groups for the nastiest jobs. The Agency is one of those groups. Consisting of the cyborg Virtual Jonez, the Telepath Sioux, physical freak Kerrick, who uses his entire DNA, and criminal profiler David Siam. The team is called to Houston to investigate a serial killer. This is no ordinary serial killer though, Willie Williams is known as "God's Man" and makes Hannibal Lechter look like a jaywalker. This psychotic killer and powerful telepath has the Agency in his sights and is ready to play.


Wow! What a book. This is not kids stuff. Williams is one seriously demented nutcase and has the body count and the gore to prove it. Jenkins gives readers a terrifying villain who is always one step ahead of the agency, toying with them. The art of Kyle Hotz reminded me of Kelly Jones with his heavy black inking style, creating deep shadows and profiles. The story slows a bit in parts but delivers a strong payoff in the end.
