Joe Casey really should be bigger than what he is in the medium of comic books. Works like his run on WILDcats, and this original graphic novel, Rock Bottom, go largely unnoticed, as fanboys go after whatever crossover mega-events are being orchestrated by DC and Marvel. It's not really anything you haven't read before, but Casey does a superb job in conveying what it means to suffer from a terminal illness ... yes, I realize it's petrification, but Casey examines friendship, and ultimately, carpe diem.
