Okay... Look at these reviews, then look at the synopsis of this book. Obviously a few of these folks got a bit confused when they were typing up they're reviews. Yes, Baptism of Fire is ALSO a GL collected book, but this isn't that one.
This is a book of displacement and terror, science fiction and fantasy, all rolled into one.
I've got to give this books writing team a great deal of credit 'cause they've had me hooked since I glanced over the first book.
The characters are fantastic, and despite all the sci-fi stuff going on... the Core character to this story is an everyman. Well... maybe not an everyman... but not a superhuman nutcase like most of his associates. Makes for a cool change in comics.
Give Negation, and CrossGen Comics a shot. I doubt they'll disappoint you.

This is the second CrossGen title that I have read the first being Sojourn, which I unequivocally recommend. It's a total surprise how good these titles are, because I have resisted reading them. I've read DC and Marvel exclusively. I decided to purchase Negation Book 2 and was blown away by the artwork, the characterization and pacing. Each chapter if filled with tension and you quickly catch on that there is more to this band of former prisoners than meets the eye. I was impressed to say the least and I have read more than my fair share of comics. I will have to go back and purchase book 1. It's kinda exciting and yet frustrating to be hooked to a new title.
