The Great Unknown #3

by Duncan Rouleau

I'm really happy to see that this book is back, as I thought the first two issues were terrific, but it has been close to a year since we last saw the book.

Zach Feld, our hero, is a man with a great deal of creativity, but all of his ideas have been stolen from him and marketed on the imind website, an Ebay for intellectual property.  He's now hooked up with a trio of imind victims, and they are working to bring the organization down.  They even have t-shirts that profess their dedication to the memory of Ayn Rand's John Galt.

These Galt-anistas, for lack of a better term, are on a recruitment drive, and have Zach along for the ride.  Also, the reality TV crew continues to poke into the Felb family's life, while Zach's old girlfriend thinks she's figured out what's going on.  It's the middle issue of the story, so the plot is really just chugging along.

As with the previous issues, it is Rouleau's amazing art that really binds the book together.  He's doing a lot of cool things with layout here, and has expanded the colour palette beyond the monochrome look of the first issues.  Good stuff.
