Book Description

Publication Date: June 7, 2006

Born the Kherubim warrior race and arriving on Earth centuries ago, Mr. Majestic is one of the most powerful beings in the WildStorm universe. But when a traumatic event forced the super-strong hero into a self-imposed exile, the world lost one of its greatest champions. Now, years later, Mr. Majestic returns from his retirement and isolation to once again protect the cosmos.

In this volume, Majestic and his allies set out to discover the secrets of the Kherubim technology lacing the Earth's crust that could cause the termination of the human race. But someone isn't happy about this and has targeted Majestic's team for execution

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up–Complete with bulging biceps, square jaw, and heat vision, a Supermanesque warlord must once again save Earth from imminent destruction. Majestic, his young cyborg sidekick, Desmond; and female compatriot, Zealot, literally unearth an artificial-intelligence being that can allow people to view the history of planets. Majestic is a confusing second volume that does not hold up on its own. Jam-packed with lots of action and fight scenes involving a creative cast of villains from giant robots to bio-enhanced humans, this book might appeal to teens familiar with the overarching story line. Some of the fight scenes depict people who were eviscerated when attacked. Overly reeking of a Superman gone awry, this offering is not particularly impressive, making it a marginal purchase for most collections.–Jennifer Feigelman, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society, NY

This review is from: Majestic Vol. 2: Meanwhile, Back on Earth... (Paperback)

More Wildstorm style adventures for Mr. Majestic. He has returned and has discovered something very nasty and dangerous. So, teaming up with Zealot and some others he sets out to stop various alien plots from destroying the human race, and other not so minor problems of that ilk. Lots of hardcore violence.
