Wildstorm/DC Comics have released a comic miniseries, written by Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman, based on PUSH. The comic books are actually prequels to the movie, and are supposed to follow Nick, the lead character in the movie played by Chris Evans, as a youth. I say "supposed to" because the first three issues that I've gone through don't mention him...
The first three issues focus on Ezra, the only agent in the mysterious "Division" who is a "Changer". His power? You guessed it, he can temporarily take on the form of another person.
The "Division" is a secret U.S. government agency. In issue #2 and #3 you learn a bit about the creation of the "Division." Apparently the bombs that were dropped in World War II awakened dormant abilities. Ezra was the first agent in the "Division."
Where did Ezra come from? For that you have to read issue #3... Ezra was part of Hitler's Nachtkrieg project. Hitler would round up people that were believed to possess extranormal abilities. They would then take these people and attempt to reverse-engineer them and create a super-army of psychic soldiers.
At the end of the war, as the Allies combed through the ashes of the Third Reich, U.S. Grunts found Eztra. Evidence the found suggested that Russia was also developing a similar program.
This in-turn lead to the U.S. launching their "Division," a domestic version of Nachtkrieg and beating the Russians.
I'm not big into spoilers, so suffice it to say that Ezra sees and learns things that he shouldn't and the "Division" doesn't like it.
The artwork is decent, but what makes these worth having is the story and writing. If you're into cloak-and-dagger/espionage/political intrigue stories, you'll like the PUSH comics. If you're into superhuman slug-fests, you may want to pass. The first three issues were rather light on action.
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
