Well, being that I live with and really love this man, I happen to know what he poured into these novels....Therefore I am completely biased in my review. However, I must say, that feedback on these graphic novels has been overwhelmingly positive

Titan is one member of the superhero group The Hand of the Morningstar. His superhuman powers are directly from a mysterious entity, the Morningstar, who has the heroes save the world with their gifts. Unfortunately Titan is about to find out there might be some secret issues with this, after dealing with a rogue metahuman named Tempest.
I give it three stars mostly for the story. The "Morningstar is evil" thing is blatant, as any Christian knows who that refers to. However, Titan isn't done half-badly at all, as a flawed hero who doesn't react to defeat well. The Morningstar is also a very, very close counterfeit to Christianity in this incarnation, and it's only in private that we get misgivings at how good the heroes' leader is. It felt better than I expected, although it's still not Watchman level material here.
The art is passable. Black and white, with heavy use of dot tones. Kind of amateurish, as proportions are off on all the characters for a superhero book. Titan is appealingly big-jawed and bulky, but he's only seven heads high. It makes him and the rest of the heroes look worse than they should. It's not bad art, but I've seen much better.
It's not that bad at all though for a Christian superhero book, and I'll definitely hunt up the rest of the volumes of this series. I'm wondering how future volumes will go, as the Morningstar's nature is revealed.
