If you follow our Twitter feed or like us on Facebook you may know by now that our colleague Javier Rodriguez can’t stop gushing about this week’s issue of Batman (found here).  Like, will not stop.

Me, I’m all over Brian Wood’s new project, The Massive.

Here’s the premise:

In a post-war, post-crash, post-disaster, post-everything world, the environmental-action trawler Kapital scours the earth’s oceans for its mysteriously missing sister ship, The Massive. Captain Callum Israel, a man who has dedicated his life to the ocean, now must ask himself-as our planet dies-what it means to be an environmentalist after the world’s ended. Callum and his crew will come up against pirates, rebels, murderers, and thieves as they struggle to remain noble toward their cause. Can you save a planet that’s already doomed?

To quote Derek Jeter from a dopey car commercial, minus the marbles in my mouth, “You should really check it out.”
