Thrash

Lonely, depressed shapeshifter Harry McComber survived one thrashing by super villain Brian Thurgold, and there's not enough booze in the city to lure him into the open for Round 2. Then a girl, an old video camera, and The American Dream convince him to change his fortunes by enduring his next Epic Fail on film. But a brief stunt turns into an epic coast-to-coast battle between the weird, the evil, and the Army. "In the dangerously dystopian world of Thrash by author Jason Palmer, Harry is a hard-drinking anti-hero that can take a beating better than anyone in town, a science experiment begrudgingly squaring off against the city's resident villain, Brian Thurgold. This book has the bitter edge of "Watchmen" and the darkness of "Gotham," along with gleefully acidic humor from the protagonist that counters the more graphic and gruesome moments. Palmer's savagely casual writing style makes this truly strange read a violent delight."-SPR
