One of the hottest writers in the industry, Grant Morrison, brings this Home Alone meets The Lord of the Rings story to life. Joe is an imaginative eleven year-old boy. He can't fit in at school. He's the victim of bullies. His dad died overseas in the Iraq war. He also suffers from Type 1 diabetes. One fateful day, his condition causes him to believe he has entered a vivid fantasy world in which he is the lost savior - a fantastic land based on the layout and contents of his home. His desperate attempts to make it out of his bedroom transform into an incredible, epic adventure through a bizarre landscape of submarine pirate dwarves, evil Hell Hounds, Lightning Lords and besieged castles. But is his quest really just an insulindeprived delirium - from which he can die if he doesn't take his meds - or something much bigger?… (més)

Worst Morrison comic ever.

Reminds me of I kill giants and one bad rat. ( )

Ugh. This would've been a 1-star if Sean Murphy's artwork wasn't so great. I've loved Morrison's work since I was a teenager but this was a rambling, incoherent mess. Pretty much skimmed through the 2nd half of it. Extremely disappointing. ( )

Joe is a hypoglycemic 13 year-old whose military father was killed in battle and whose mother is fighting to keep their house. When the class bullies steal his candy, he finds himself hallucinating a world where his pet rat is a warrior and he is some kind of savior. The fun lies in the reader connecting the dots between things in the real world and the fantasy, so I won't say anything more about the plot. Take your time reading it, and appreciate all the little details Sean Murphy has worked into the art.

I'm not sure why this was released under the Vertigo imprint, unless it was just because it was a creator-owned property. It's an affecting, intelligent, and cleverly-constructed tale, but there is no "mature" or "adult" content, as the terms tend to be used today. It would be fine for anyone around the age of the protagonist and up. I hope the "mature readers" warning doesn't keep it out of the hands of younger teens.

I couldn't help but think of a thematically-similar graphic novel I read recently, [b:I Kill Giants|6435893|I Kill Giants|Joe Kelly|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1243558074s/6435893.jpg|6625451], which concerns a girl who also lives part of her life in a fantasy. They would make good companion volumes. ( )
