Mindbender - Trade Paperback

(W) James Pruett (A/CA) Federico De Luca At the tender age of seven, Alexander Oberman witnessed the gruesome deaths of his parents in a horrendous explosion caused by the explosive power of his own mind. How Alex survived has been a mystery. Physically he was fine, but mentally he withdrew into himself. For 16 years, Alex hadn't uttered a solitary word or had a voluntary movement of his own, until now. Those that would use his destructive abilities have been awaiting Alex's awakening. Now that wait has ended, and the world will soon learn the true potential of mankind. But will Alex be a vanguard for the world or will he be responsible for its annihilation? Also included, a representation of the short story "Strait Jacket" from the award-winning anthology Negative Burn originally published in 1997 that was the very first appearance of the concepts that become Mindbender.
