There’s never been a more American town than Sparta. In Sparta they believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness through treachery, blackmail and murder – just like the Maestro taught them as he learned it from the U.S. President. Sparta is such a great place that no one ever thinks of leaving. It’s been three years since anyone’s tried, and he was never heard from again…until today.
Today, Godfrey McLaine, the greatest quarterback in Sparta’s history, has returned bigger, taller and redder than when he left. He’s also armed with a secret that will expose the rotten core of the American Dream. Award-winning writer David Lapham (YOUNG LIARS, STRAY BULLETS) and artist Johnny Timmons (Wolverine) deliver a unique take on what it means to be an American!

Never read anything from Lapham. Figured I try this out.
Weird –this came out in Canada a couple of weeks ago. That never happens.
It’s a good read, but if you really should grab ‘Young Liars’. It’s a wild, wild ride.
Yay!!! I’ve missed my ape-shit crazy Lapham fix.
The article in Comic Shop News actually sold me on this. Great premise.
This wasn’t bad, but definitely not great. I’ll give it one more issue.
@vadamowens I agree. I think part of it is lacking has to do with the coloring. I read there were some last minute changes and I’m not sure of the reputation of Wildstorm FX. But I’m in for another issue.
@alan I actually dug the art and coloring. The story just didn’t give me enough to get excited about it.
