Eisner Award-winner Mark Millar's personal favorite creation, Edison Crane is a complex blend of Bruce Wayne, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones. He's the world's smartest, coolest man who stifles the boredom of his billionaire life by taking on mysteries no one else can possibly solve. But the murder of his father is his greatest adventure yet and reunites him with an older, smarter brother who went off-grid years ago and has been living on the streets ever since. How does this all connect to the secret space program and what has the planet Mars been planning for all of us? Collects issues #1-5.

    Plot
    This third volume shows Edison being mercilessly attacked from every possible angle: economic, social, and familial. For the first time, we are presented with a completely failed and vulnerable Edison Crane, whose senses are clouded and he can't see the true threat..

    Millar's creativity overflows on every page, where Edison and his brilliant brother Elijah must team up despite their differences and discover what their father was doing, while also stopping a seemingly omnipresent enemy. All of this occurs in parallel with action sequences that will leave you breathless.

    The main message of paternal redemption is embellished with shocking twists, interesting scientific theories mixed with myths, conspiracies, and plenty of science fiction.

    Art
    Stefano Landini offers detailed art supported by Michele Assarasakorn's brightly lit color palette to highlight the dynamism of the script, which leaps off the page and into your eyes.
