The Ones #1

/ / Comics

From the mind of Brian Michael Bendis comes this unusual tale of a group of people being called together by something of a prophet. What makes the group unusual is that each one of them were “the One,” a special individual in the time and place of their own culture. Some have aged, some are in the prime, and one is unsure why she was even included in the group.

Despite all the drama, opening night goes off without a hitch.
