MINDBENDER (2017)

"At the tender age of seven, Alexander Oberman witnessed the gruesome deaths of his parents in a horrendous explosion as a result of his own mind tapping into a previously unknown powerful force. How Alex survived has been a mystery. Physically he was fine, minus a few burns, but mentally he withdrew into himself, into his mind. 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?"

"Alex discovers that he is capable of altering reality with his mind, but he isn't sure how to properly harness his new-found abilities and after his escape from the Branch Institute, he seeks sanctuary with a small collected group of misfits and outcasts that seemed to be expecting his ascension. But are they there to help him or do they have their own reasons for assisting Alex? And what exactly is the voice that mysteriously speaks to Berdy that no one else can hear? Featuring two available covers by series artist Federico De Luca and Francesco Francavilla (The Spirit, All Star Batman)."

"Following the police incident in downtown Philadelphia, Alex manages to escape from the police aided by Berdy, his new-found friend who communicates with a mysterious other-dimensional voice that only he can hear. Agent Colton Brand closes in on Alex and prepares for an all-out assault as he fears that Alex possesses enough power to end the world. Meanwhile, more about Alex's abilities are discovered as he seeks out the innocent mother that was shot and crucially wounded in the crossfires between Alex and the police from the 'incident' as she struggles for her life in intensive care.
