Citizen XII
Deftly walking the line between outright comedy and tragedy, Kevin Cook, Lauren Maxwell, and William Walsh’s breakaway hit “Citizen XII” has become both a brave challenge to the superhero genre and a loving tribute. The authors pepper the rich writing with cynicism and humor while maintaining a pervasive darkness that threatens to drown their characters. The story’s super-powered protagonist, George Reagan, alias Citizen XII, has no epic weakness like kryptonite or yellow rings, but encumbered by his own clumsiness, self-deprecation, and naivete. His is joined by friends Quentin, a young witch, and Cylus, a libertarian vampire hunter, and mentor Haze, another Citizen, whose crushing depression is alleviated only by vigilantism.
