Heroic Age: One Month To Live #1-5 Complete

IGN Reviewer Dan Iverson calls one of the most human stories that Marvel has published in a long time. Indeed it is. It is also one of the most touching. And satisfying. Issue #1 set the tone, but issue #5 gave the whole series its character. Given the limited amount of issues, the series is well-paced and, despite the appearances of the superheroes, never lost its focus and that is how Dennis Sykes will make use of the one month of life left him. I wish they'd make more stories like this. Three thumbs up. Oh--and of course, all five issues are Minutemen scans.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH ONE MONTH TO CHANGE THE WORLD? An all-star creative roster brings you a weekly Marvel event! Featuring Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers! In a world of unlikely heroes, Dennis Sykes is about to become Marvel's unlikeliest. Banker by day, struggling parent by night - and unhappy about it all. But when a tragic turn of events gives Dennis a 30 day death sentence, he discovers his accident comes with super-powers. And as the weeks in Dennis' life tick down, he sets out to leave a mark one way or the other - - even if he has to go through Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers to do it. Everyone is the hero of their own story...but not every hero is a good guy. --
