Supergod: Warren Ellis's horrific arms-race endtimes

[montrealfilmguy]

From Boingboing.com

 

Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny's Supergod is a magnificently grim and horrifying superhero comic, in which a British government scientist narrates the sequence of events that killed the planet Earth, in whose rubble he sits. Supergod is the story of a secret arms-race, in which the major powers of the world all conspired to produce superhuman, godlike beings who were meant to act as their national saviors. Instead, each of these gods becomes a force of ineffable and unstoppable terror, killing and laying waste in unfathomable acts of horrific violence.

Sounds like the quote 'Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' I should pick up the TP collection.

This looks like a good comic. I'll have to pick up the trade or the issues if I can find them.

Yep, I'll check out the trade. Ellis is usually good.
