Mike Carey, story; Peter Gross, art

This is a promising title from the Vertigo imprint that I'm hoping will continue for more than a short run. It's an intriguing story concerning the son (and inspiration) of the disappeared writer of extremely popular "boy wizard" novels, the "Tommy Taylor" series. His life as a model for a fictional character has always been somewhat weird, but it has turned even stranger with the revelation that his social insurance number and birth records seem to be faked, and characters from the novels (not just crazed, costumed fans) have been attacking him. So, who really came first: Tom Taylor or "Tommy Taylor"? Does Tom Taylor only exist because of the creation of "Tommy Taylor"? Strong first issue, and a deal at 40pg for a buck. (PDF preview of Issue #1 available here.
