Helena and Frank Seleski are twins. She's a theologian. He's a physicist. They've both spent their lives in search of the same thing -- GOD. In the strange new world of the revised Valiant Heroes Universe, these two people seek answers to the frustrating questions of the universe and the meaning of life. How different are Frank and Helena from you or I? Simple -- they're going to find the answer! Frank pushes the limits of physics and science, looking behind the smallest quark and beyond the largest neutron star. Helena probes the Vatican's hidden tomes of long dead priests and messianic visionaries. Little by little, each of them has been obtaining pieces to this elusive puzzle (which includes some major secrets to the history and nature of the Valiant Universe), but they will have to combine their talents in order to reach their goal and touch the hand of God. But when they get there, will they find the grace of God...or the return of the most powerful, complex, terrifying and fascinating Valiant character in existence? If the title doesn't clue you in, then you'll have to wait to find out! Written by Warren Ellis, with art by Darick Robertson, Larry Mahlstedt and Steve Geiger. 48 pg, FC. Cover price $3.95.
