I have no super powers. Unless playing Neverwinter Nights way past bedtime and drinking Iced Coffee is a super power… Is it? Is it? No… back.. to.. work…

You have truly, been Rick Roll’d.
Its a recent internet meme in which, you post a YouTube link claiming its to something interesting. In reality, its to a Rick Astley video.
Wow, its just… so terrible.

You know, replying to your own questions is a sign of insanity. :) But yeah, the three “founders” are set as friends for everyone who signs up.

This comic is great. It showed me how convoluted the Star Wars universe has gotten and where its gone since I stopped reading the original Star Wars comics some time ago. It basically talked me out of getting up to speed and getting the new comics. Some of the current story looks like it might be interesting, but not enough to hunt down the older issues.

If you take, a Muslim audience, GI Joe style violence (i.e. virtually none), Xmen (and/or Heroes), mix them together in a box and have it put to a comic book by some slightly better than average comic artists, you’ll get “The 99”. Its geared toward a younger crowd, pretty tame stuff. This may be good if you want to avoid the typical R rated comics around today. The story is not bad and is believable enough. The 99 are power stones that allow super powers. If you’re Muslim, you may recognize the 99 “powers” story as more than that, I don’t.
Pretty tame by anyones standards, its practically rated G. No sexual situations, no dirty talk, no blood. If you have kids that are clamoring for a comic and you’re disgusted at the standard fare, you’ll probably find a good middle ground for the kids here. Its not so preachy about morals that the kids will be rolling their eyes, but good guys are generally good, bad guys made to look bad and selfish.
The drawing is nice, the coloring is not very inspired but serviceable. The panorama scenes are somewhat bland but get the point across.
I’m getting up around issue 10, the story is not so gripping that its keeping my attention. I like a couple characters enough to care to see what happens (I like Jabbar and Noora) so I’ll keep the subscription, hopefully it will get better as it goes…

Sad to say, I only heard about his work after his untimely death. I spent quite a few hours looking through his online postings at deviantart.com and I love his work. His art is really inspired, I wish he had fulfilled his life goal of writing his own story about the Prince of Saturn. His characters seem very alive, like they are breathing on their own, unaware of his hand drawing them. He will be missed.
