ON SALE DATE: August 7 Professional thief-for-hire Weaver is introduced to the mysterious arms dealer Deacon Styles, who has a proposition for him. All he has to do is steal a briefcase. But why bring a man of such unique abilities halfway round the world for such a lowball heist? Something doesn't add up, because Weaver isn't the only one in Deacon's crew with uncanny abilities...
Most Actives believe they are the only one with powers, which is what Weaver thought as well. Andy Diggle's script provides the answers that we have been looking for while producing more questions at the same time. The organization that recruited Weaver seems to be one step ahead of everyone else but it turns out that someone may be one step ahead of them, leaving you to wonder how and why.
