Review: Big Man Plans # 1 and 2

Big Man Plans - an Image Central Real World Mini-Series 


Image Comics releases an all-new chilling story of revenge and recourse. Written and drawn by Eric Powell with a story assist from Tim Wiesch, Big Man Plans is the story of young boy born with a handicap, and this handicap will shape his future, lead him down a road of terror and horrors no-one person should ever have to endure. This handicap makes him the man he is, a Dwarf with a chip on his shoulder, and a man, a man who has been stripped of everything, family, pride, self-esteem and his home, a dwarf no-one will ever forget.

Big Man, as his father called him, and his sister lived on a farm with their daddy, Big Man’s mother left when he was child. Loathing the fact that she gave birth to a dwarf, she went, devastating Big Man’s father and landing the first blow. Soon after his father was killed in a freak accident. Second blow. Big Man and his sister were sent to an orphanage where his sister was adopted, but not the dwarf. Third blow. Beaten on daily basis Big Man waited for the day he could get out. When his day arrives he heads to the army recruiting station, only to be turned down. Fourth blow. After being denied from the army a devastated Big Man meets the man that changes his life, the man that would make him a cold-blooded, hard-ass, one man assassination team!

Big Man Plans is a dark heart wrenching story of struggle that grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go until the end. I would like to point out that this story in not for children, full of violence, nudity and profanity. The violence is graphic, not for the weak of heart. Big Man Plans moves along a good pace, developing the story quite quickly.

Overall a great read and I highly recommend this for our older readers. You can find the latest issues of this four-part min series at White Dragon Comics.
