I honestly did not know what I was getting into as I began to read Method Man, by Method Man, Sanford Greene and David Atchison. As one who generally does NOT read comic books or anything of that style, I must say that this was a pleasant surprise and has me wanting to read more in the world of the cocky private eye, Peerless Poe.
Poe, is a direct descendant of Cain, the first son of the earth, which enables him to pull out a spiritual and physical strength and rage from within that is truly out of this world. He finds himself unwillingly pulled into working alongside two members of the “Order of the Sacred Method,” a society he was once a part of but could not follow their rules and restrictions. A true vigilante at heart, the society calls on him for help as they fight to conquer Lilith, who seeks to connect a tower from the hell below to the heavens above. She knows that she must first destroy the Sons of Cain as they had thwarted her plans in the days of long ago in their attempt to atone for the sins of Cain, the world’s first murderer.
With a VERY original storyline, absolutely great black and white graphics and humor sprinkled throughout the story, I highly recommend this book and give it two thumbs up. As one that does not generally read comic books I really enjoyed this one and definitely want to read more about Peerless Poe aka Method Man.

I was wondering what this book was about. I did not know it was in comic book form. I am still not sure if I am going to check it out.
Lashonda…I think you have to like graphic books to read this one…but I do have an extra copy if you want to give it a try.
What age group do you think this book is for. I try to encourage my godson to read all types of mediums, but i don’t want it to be too grown up.
Thanks!!
