Description
Growing up in Detroit, Roscoe and his friends know all about hard luck. But
their fates take a different turn when they stumble upon a street drug called
MPH - little pills that give them the power of super speed, and the
opportunity of a lifetime. Now holding the perfect Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card,
Roscoe leads Rosa, Chevy, and Baseball on a lightning-fast crime spree across
the nation. But as a good guy dealt a tough hand, that's not enough for Roscoe.
Before long, he and his friends are taking the fat cats for all they're worth,
and sharing their take with the masses. But zooming through their riches at
super-speed has a downside. The pills are running out, the Feds are cracking
down, and a mysterious figure named Mr. Springfield is teaming up with the
authorities, claiming to know more about the speedsters than they know about
themselves. When time is your only asset, what happens when the clock runs
out?
A high-octane adventure, MPH brings you super speed like you've never
seen before, by the writer of Kick-Ass and the artist of
Hellboy.

Multi award-winning writer Mark Millar is the writer of JUPITER'S LEGACY from Image Comics, which he co-created with artist Frank Quitely. Also at Image, his WANTED comic series was the industry's biggest-selling creator-owned book of the last ten years until he smashed his own record with KICK-ASS, each issue selling more than Spider-Man and X-Men from issue one with an unprecedented five printings every issue. Both properties were sold as movies before the first issue hit the stands and everything Millar has ever created is in various stages of theatrical development. Wanted starred Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. Kick-Ass stars actor Nicolas Cage.
In addition to WANTED and KICK-ASS, Millar has revamped the X-Men, launched a number one Spider-Man title, brought Captain America into the 21st Century and made Superman a communist.
