Bad ass, attitude... he says he has no ego (I don't believe him).
Art is amazing, the fight scenes are poetic, worth the read.

The world of comics (like a ride at a theme park: The World of Comics!) is filled up with heroes who are snarky, irritable, sarcastic, noble, and trying to do the right - in short, you (or what you hope you would be) with super powers. Warren Ellis is a person who can write those people but often does not, and when he doesn't, the results are brilliant and wonderful.
Karnak is not one of these fresh-faced do-gooder heroes. He is a brooding, isolated fucked-up person who hangs out with all Inhumans without being, technically, an Inhuman. He has the ability to "see the flaw in all things" and you can imagine what that would do to your outlook. This book occupies a thoughtful, questioning and morally ambiguous place in terms of storytelling, and also has a lot of cool stuff getting destroyed.
Loved it.
