Supergod is a new five-part miniseries by Warren Ellis, with artwork by Garrie Gastony. The comic is a superhuman story, but not the sort of affair where you’ll see men flying around with their underwear on over their trousers, and saving people from burning buildings.

The stories tend to focus on these individuals becoming corrupt, and abusing their new found powers.
