<font>A friend of mine
shoved this book in my hand and said "I'm not telling you anything about this
other than you will love it". I'm lucky to have friends that know me this well,
although I'm hard pressed to think of someone who wouldn't enjoy this ride. I
mean Nicola Tesla, Mark Twain vs the Robber Barons and their henchmen Edison and
Marconi? A yeti? Aw hells yeah! </font>

<font>It's a wry, very
American take on the ahistorical fiction genre started by Moore in
his "Extraordinary Gentlemen" books. Matt Faction continues to prove himself
among the best writers out there.</font>

I was sitting in a used bookstore in Mountain View, CA, perusing the graphic novels when I stumbled on this title. I'm a fan of science, and the title intrigued me. Flipping to the middle just to get a gander at the art, I saw steampunk-inspired renderings and creatures that were a subtle nod to Lovecraft. When I saw Mark Twain screaming "SHOWMANSHIP!" I knew I had to read it.
By the end, I found myself wanting to hunt down everything Matt Fraction has ever written, ever. This book was absolutely incredible, everything I wanted it to be.
