The 2nd Coming...Squadron Supreme

....usually just before the weekends...as promised! Squadron Supreme vol.2 ? Squadron Supreme Saga by J Michael Straczynski coming up this weekend! Think of this as a "re-imagination" of DC universe's most popular heroes such as the Flash (Blur), Wonder Woman (Zarda aka Power Princess), Green Lantern (Dr.Spectrum?), Hyperion (Superman) and last but not least, Batman (Nighthawk) (as Stan Lee did before! i think) for the Marvel U, splendidly done this time by J Michael Straczynski (Rising Power, Midnight Nation, Spidey's The Other arc etc. & currently Thor v3) for MAX (Marvel's Mature line) . Anyways, these super-powered beings known as "Supremes" (not the 70's version ;-)compose primarily the Squadron Supreme along with a few others that escapes me at the moment...who to compare with...let's just say the Squadron Supreme is really a hodge-podge of DCU and MU characters both in it's "heroes and its villains" (which come to think of it resembles not the DC's JLA, but more like the Ultimates except a lot more powerful and a bit more "sinister") You simply cannot really tell who are the heroes and villains....which I think makes Squadron Supreme quite a great read, not only for its "moral ambiguities" but as well as its "socio-political commentaries". Over-all, I highly recommend this JMS compilation!

Rising Authority

Hi there! Welcome to my second blog! In case you're wondering what the first is, its: www.stuffthatclogupmypc.blogspot.com. I decided to make this one purely for comic books which I've read, and "collected" courtesy of course of some very diligent and generous scanners..heh Anyhoot, if you've "arrived" at this blog, then you must have come from the "Kingdom": The Kingdom is not the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but the Comic Kingdom based in where else The United Kingdom (otherwise you'd be most likely be reading this in Arabic)hmmmm...come to think of it, does anyone know if there are any Arabic comic books?? Anyways...I digress. I also made this blog to "feature" comic books which I really liked reading and highly recommend (some of which can be obtained at the comickingdom.co.uk forum). I'll try to make this at least a weekly event. If you came from the forum, you may also want to check out their stuff! So enough yapping here's my picks for this week: DOWNLOAD LINKS BELOW: CLICK SELECT, COPY AND PASTE TO BROWSER OR DOWNLOAD MANAGER
