Synopsis "Terminal Hero"

Rory Fletcher is a good man dying of an inoperable brain tumor, with only two months to live. When his best friend discovers the top secret Treatment Q, buried by the government due to its shocking and unpredictable side effects, Rory figures it can't be any worse than dying. However, as the chemicals attack the tumor in his right parietal, they unlock the brain's unlimited potential, triggering psychokinesis... and manifesting his worst fears and nightmares as visions and physical constructs! Can he curb his dangerous impulses before the bodies of loved ones and innocent bystanders start piling up? Or will agents of British Intelligence and other Treatment Q survivors manipulate his fearsome new abilities for their own ends? Reviews: "The art work is a delight with Kowalski creating several dark; twisted; and intense images that carry the story along in a fascinating fashion." - Comic Buzz "Terminal Hero works fast and quickly takes Rory's few remaining days into a horrific spiral... Milligan has created a dynamic origin story that is far more interesting than any of the cliché super heroes out there today." - Horror Talk "An awesome ride." -ComicWow! "An engaging and compelling story." -Comic Spectrum "Peter Milligan's writing is superb. It's obvious when he's given free range on a piece like this, he hits it out of the park." - Comics the Gathering "Terminal Hero is a great thinking comic." - The Geekality "Peter Milligan gives us an emotionally driven story." - Unleash the Fanboy

Peter Milligan (born June 24, 1961) is a British writer known for his work in comics, film, and television

Milligan, born in London, England, began his comic career with short stories for 2000 AD in the early eighties. In 1986, Milligan worked on 2000AD on the title "Bad Company", with artists Brett Ewins and Jim McCarthy. "Bad Company" was a popular future war story and helped Milligan make a name for himself in the comic world

At the same time, Milligan, Ewins, and Brendan McCarthy had been working on the anthology title, Strange Days for Eclipse Comics. Strange Days featured three lines, "Paradax", "Freakwave", and "Johnny Nemo". Milligan, McCarthy, and Ewins produced three issues of this psychedelic comic, it was not a big sales hit, but it gained a small and loyal number of readers. The more conventional strip, "Johnny Nemo", would have its own series, while the stranger "Paradax" had a two-issue series published by Vortex Comics in 1987.

Jae Lee es un reconocido dibujante de cómics surcoreano-estadounidense, famoso por su estilo oscuro, estilizado y atmosférico. Nacido en Corea del Sur y criado en Estados Unidos, Lee debutó en la industria del cómic a principios de los años 90, destacándose rápidamente por su talento gráfico único. Con solo 20 años, se convirtió en uno de los artistas más jóvenes en trabajar para Marvel Comics.

Uno de sus primeros trabajos notorios fue en Namor, the Sub-Mariner, pero alcanzó mayor reconocimiento con su participación en títulos como Inhumans, The Sentry y Fantastic Four: 1234. Su trazo elegante, expresivo y altamente detallado lo convirtió en un artista ideal para historias oscuras o psicológicas.

Jae Lee también trabajó en The Dark Tower, adaptación oficial de la saga de Stephen King, donde su estilo visual aportó una dimensión sombría y épica al universo del escritor. En DC Comics, ilustró la miniserie Before Watchmen: Ozymandias y colaboró con Grant Morrison en Batman/Superman.

A lo largo de su carrera, Lee ha sido galardonado y respetado por su estilo artístico inconfundible, más cercano a la ilustración gótica que al cómic tradicional, lo que lo ha posicionado como uno de los artistas más distintivos y admirados de la industria.
