I had a choice of starting with the latest comics I read (Ultimate X-Men) or go with something truly memorable and as the title suggests, I decided to go for the latter. Why was PITT so memorable? Well a few things actually but first and foremost this is Dale Keown's first independent creator owned comic where he created, wrote, pencilled, inked and later even did some colouring on this series. The only sad part is that it lasted less than 2 dozen issues!!! SIGH!!!
Trivia facts: I saw this when I was studying at university in Australia (that sort of tells you how old I am, eh?) and naturally rushed to get it but you know what? Between issues 2 to 4, there is a lag of like more than 3 months and I remembered reading online a lot of people trashing Dale for the lateness but for me, it was cool. I liked my comics looking good and not rushed and I can afford to wait because it means ... I have more money for other titles as well. Hehehe! So Mr Dale Keown, my hat's off to you for taking the time out to churn out this masterpiece!
Issue 4 ends the first arc. Issue 1 is reviewed on my regular blog. And so without further ado, here's what transpired in 2 to 4. Basically Pitt is trying to track down his connection to someone from earth and he finds out it's little Timmy, an orphan who is staying with his grandpa. The 2 humans have no idea of this. In the meantime, someone else, a bounty hunter, from Pitt's world has come a calling trying to chase down and kill Pitt.
And as they descended on earth, they encountered the local law enforcement including a lady police officer who seemed to be far more than that of a normal woman who engages in regular fitness regime. So there is room for a subplot development here and no it is not romantic in nature please!
Finally, we also get a glimpse of someone potentially far more powerful than Pitt and that is dear ol dad. But on Pitt's side, is he truly alone? Nope. So who else is there lurking in the subconscious of earthlings? Hehehe! You will have to buy the book to find out
PLEEEEEEASE TRACK THIS BOOK DOWN. From artwork to the dazzling colours, you will not be disappointed (10/10)
