When Owen Craig dons a costume he finds in an abandoned mansion, he starts his career as a crime fighter called... Mudman!
I loved Jack Staff so I grabbed this for pretty cheap on Amazon. I liked the early Spider-Man feel of the thing and Grist's art, of course. The main reason I didn't rate it higher is that this is it for trades and there are only three other issues. It felt like it was just getting started.

When Grist is on, he is great. This collection is a lot of fun. I just wish he were faster, since I'd love to see more Mud Man as soon as possible (as well as Jack Staff and Kane).

Kinda cute. Very cartoony, which isn't a bad thing; but when my 4 year old can follow along it's good story-boarding/artwork and uncomplicated plot.

Owen Craig is a bit of a teenage tearabout, breaking into abandoned buildings and spraying graffiti here and there. A delinquent, but a fairly minor one, but after a weird thing happens one night out on the mud, he is transformed into... a superhero who can do things with mud! With bank robbers on the loose, a mysterious woman who appears and reappears, a mysterious and sinister man who seems to know the answers to questions Owen doesn't know how to ask and a flying metal owl thing with claws all turn up to make Owen's life intersting. Where did these powers come from? What really happened to Owen out in the mud? These and more questions are not answered in this volume! But a whole thing with the bank robbers and Owen's dad the police chief and a guy who can control water and some detention keep things lively for the reader, all presented with Paul Grist's customary skill and humour.
