Beschreibung des Verlags
In this mind-bending graphic novel, an ancient evil of unfathomable power plots the unspeakable: the destruction of the mortal realm and beyond.
In an unthinkable new reality, man's only hope lies in Peerless Poe, a hard-luck private eye with a taste for booze and a magnetic attraction to danger. A former member of the clandestine Order of the Sacred Method, Poe must forge an uneasy alliance with those who one exploited him against an enemy bent on global annihilation. This unholy threat wears a woman's face and wields dark energies capable of destroying normal men.
But Poe hasn't been normal in years. The Order saw to that.
Poe is scarred. Poe is transformed. Poe is . . . Method Man.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rapper Method Man's attempt to reinvent his creative horizons has yielded this graphic novel. But instead of a memoir, a la Percy Carey (Sentences), it's a full-on horror adventure. Peerless Paine, a direct descendent of the biblical Cain, finds himself a magnet for supernatural trouble that he and other scions of Cain must eliminate. These avengers operate as the Order of the Sacred Method and wield modern and arcane weaponry in their battles, as well as \x93the Wrath of Cain,\x94 a berserker fury that grants its possessors enhanced physical prowess and healing capabilities, traits that come in handy when facing Lovecraftian menaces. Once booted from the Order for a romantic transgression, Paine is allowed to rejoin in order to ensure victory over a baleful evil, but while there are monsters and action galore, if the reader has seen even one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or encountered Hellboy, this material will seem familiar. Greene's graffiti-inspired art livens up the proceedings.
