THE HELM Jim Hardison (W)* Bart Sears (P)* Randy Elliott (I)* and Dan Jackson (C) On sale Apr 1 FC* 104 pages $14.95 TPB* 7" x 10" Matt Blurdy's day has gone from crap to worse. Not only did his girlfriend break his heart at work-and in front of all of the video-store patrons-but he just got fired. All that's left to do is minibike his sorry* thirty-year-old (and freshly unemployed!) butt back home to his mom's basement and drown his sorrows in a bucket of extra-crispy chicken while contemplating where his life went wrong. On the way home* Matt decides to quiet his aching heart with a brief detour to a garage sale. When an ancient-looking helmet calls to him as "the Chosen One*" exhorting him to don the mantle of the "Valhalladrim*" Matt touches it with trembling fingers-and is jolted by raw magical power. Holy crap! Is he going to be a superhero? Is this why he always felt special even when everyone else thought he was a loser? Then the helm gets a sense of whom it's dealing with. Suddenly* it changes its tune: "I was mistaken. You are not the chosen one. Good day." o Collects the four-issue miniseries.
