Plot Holes Vol. 1 - by Sean Murphy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Superstar artist Sean Gordon Murphy, known for his groundbreaking series Batman: White Knight and Massive's Zorro: Man Of The Dead, delivers an all-new tale of world-hopping adventure.

THE PLOT HOLES are a squad of fictional warriors who transport themselves into the pages of other books, using their unique skills to save the plots to stop them from being destroyed. And Cliff is their newest recruit, a comic creator who's just realized his world isn't real in fact, it's a complete fiction that exists inside a novel. The other members are misfits like him, pulled from unpublished books that couldn't be saved: a manga samurai, a barbarian tiger, a kid from a comic strip, and a vampire assassin. Outclassed by the other members, Cliff sets out to prove his worth to The Plot Holes as they fight to save as many books as possible.
