After last issue's battle with the strange Herdsman, Zanetti is determined to learn more about his uncanny abilities and their origins in the fatal accident almost twenty years ago.

VIMANARAMA #2

Grant Morrison doesn't know how to stop, does he? After an inspired, groundbreaking run on Marvel's New X-Men, Morrison has followed it up with a trio of DC Vertigo books---first, the absurdist action of Seaguy, followed by the breathtaking brilliance of WE3, and now this, a super hero "East meets West" story of lost gods, planetary invasion and star-crossed romance! Our hero Ali has met the girl of his dreams, but is he going to just as quickly lose her to the wiles of an eight-foot supergod? Does either one even have a say in the matter? London burns and hilarity ensues, from Morrison and artist Philip Bond.
