Death Sentence by Montynero, 192 pagesDeath Sentence is about brief super heroes and villains that are springing up after getting infected with the G+ virus. I guess to make it more relevant or more graphic the G+ virus is only transmittable through sex. Unlike most superhero graphic novels where the weak underdog gets all of these awesome powers they don't know what to do with, G+ just amplifies what you are good at. If you are good at convincing people to buy stuff you might get mind control. If you are a guitarist you might now be able to write perfect music that everyone loves. It is also very random how far these abilities will be magnified.
In this volume two marginally good guys are tasked with stopping a super villain who is using his telekinetic powers to take over England.
Death Sentence is obviously for mature audiences only. When I first picked it up I thought that it was relying on the skimpily dressed women and sex to sell copies but it actually had a decent back story and underlying plot as well. I think people that like the darker comics would also like this.
