Recommendation for a TPB: Pantheon: Welcome to the Machine

[Powerhouse]

I picked up the new release of the TPB Pantheon: Welcome to the Machine and would like to recommend it to the fans. It's written by Bill Willingham of Elementals, Fables, and Shadowpact fame.

If you like to see new takes on iconic characters with solid artwork and strong writing, please consider this book. It takes place in its own universe and asks the question: what happens when the superheroes win? Pantheon: Welcome to the Machine is part one of a tale with twists, likeable characters, and attention grabbing shocks.

If you like big superhero tales about the Justice League or Avengers but hate that you know going in that the good guys are going to win and live happily ever after, this could be the tale for you. It's Willingham's own cast in its own world so all bets are off!

Comic book fans should like it because it's a great comic. Hero fans could also like it for its take on iconic character that they can bring to their own worlds.

If you comic shop doesn't carry it, you can obtain it here:

I started reading Pantheon way back with its second issue, and have the complete run as well as the scriptbook. I'd give the series a 7 out of ten. There are a couple of things that annoyed me, or that I thought could have been done better, but it's a good read over all, and would second your recommendation.
