异变者》的英文名字叫Homunculus，这个词是小人，脑中小人的意思。科学家提出一个Homunculus的观点，指人的脑中有一个对应人体感觉的小人，人的各个感觉器官在大脑上都有对应的感应部分，根据感应度的不同各有大小，这些鼻子对应鼻子眼睛对应眼睛的感应带组合起来，就是一个模拟的小人，也就是Homunculus。

如果一部漫画要去纯粹描写Homunculus这一观点应该是很难的。《异变者》这部漫画则是以Homunculus的作用为主线，配合其他一些神秘科学，串起很多社会事件。据说颅骨开孔后由于颅内气压变化使血液流动加快，会激活人脑的一些潜能。主角名越进被邀请参与一个颅骨开孔的实验，充当实验体。手术后不久就发现左眼（通常认为人的左眼比右眼更容易看到灵异的东西）就不断看到奇怪的东西，这到底是怎么一回事呢？？

Alex Ross opens his private sketchbooks to reveal his astonishing pencil and ink drawings of DC Comics characters, nearly all of them appearing in print here for the first time.
Thousands of fans from around the world have trilled to Alex’s fully rendered photo-realistic painting of their favorite heroes, but as they may not realize, all of those works start as pencil on paper, and the origins of the finished images are rarely seen. Until now.
From deleted scenes and altered panels for the epic Kingdom Come saga to proposals for revamping such classic properties as Batgirl, Captain Marvel, and an imagined son of Batman named Batboy, to unused alternate comic book cover ideas for the monthly Superman and Batman comics of 2008-2009, there is much to surprise and delight anyone who thought they already know all of Alex’s DC Comics work.
Illuminating everything is Alex’s own commentary, written expressly for this book, explaining his though processes and stylistic approaches for the various riffs and reimaginings of characters we thought we knew everything about but whose possibilities we didn’t fully understand.
As a record of a pivotal era in comics history, Rough Justice is a must for Alex’s legion of fans, as well as anyone interested in masterly comic book imagination and illustration.
