Plot

Eric Kripke (creator of the hit TV series Supernatural) teams up with Vertigo veterans John Higgins (HELLBLAZER) and Glenn Fabry (PREACHER) to bring you a very Vertigo take on the modern superhero in this new graphic novel thriller. Josh Jaffe, a neurotic family man mid-midlife crisis, buys an online "smart pill" to increase his focus and jolt him out of his slump. But to Josh's surprise, the pill gives him incredible strength and power--but its cost is that it's extremely addictive. This irreverent and brutally realistic story examines both the mighty highs and humiliating lows of being a real-life superhero. JACKED VOL. 1 collects issues #1-6.
