Rising Stars written by J Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5, Crusade, Midnight Nation, currently Thor v3) is a 24-issue series under Top Cow publishing. Joe Straczysnki not surprisingly because of his TV-background fame gives us an epic, yet contemporary saga of survival and salvation, that may as well be a script for a tv-series (i'm surprised it wasn't) rather than for the comic books...(but I'm glad it was...)

Combining the super-powered characteristics and attitudes of the X-Men, the "mysterious" beginnings of the TV-series 4400 and the unfolding popular hit series Heroes (long before any of these were shown) it was a remarkable and memorable journey for those who got to read it (get a sneak peek here). What's even more remarkable is that while it tells the story of "super-powered" individuals battling one another and the usual fear and discrimination from society etc...It still touched on very contemporary issues - the nuclear arms race, the "middle east problem" (pre-9/11 until it caught up with it), the drug menace, etc. and "ambitiously, if not, imaginatively" showed solutions to the problems...

Definitely, and not surprisingly....bouncing, er, RisingImage s a must read!

I noticed, It's pretty good. I can't figure it out but I can manage.
