11:13 pm [proteus_lives] [Link]	Majestic in "The Big Chill" Greetings True Believers! I wanted to share with you one of my favorite Alan Moore stories. Wildstorm Spotlight #1 starring Mr. Majestic at the end of the universe. Mr. Majestic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Majestic) has always been one of my favorite Superman analogs and this is one of his best stories. It's about a group of gods and immortals at the end of time. Enjoy!

09:41 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	Tom Strong and the suicidal jumper There are some people who think Alan Moore hates superheroes and couldn't write an unironically positive take on heroism, one not mired in grey and cynicism, if his life depended on it. ( Those people are effin' morons. ) Tags: char: tom strong, creator: alan moore (56 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:42 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	Alan Moore's Youngblood proposal In the late 90's, Alan Moore became the writer for Rob Liefeld's superhero team book Youngblood. As should come as no surprise, he drastically revamped the whole thing. This is the series outline Moore wrote up before starting on the book, in which he details his approach and plans for the title. It's a series bible of sorts, basically. And for legality, there's three pages from Moore's time on the title itself, featuring a nifty take on superspeed.

09:17 pm [jlroberson] [Link]	The Real Climax of V For Vendetta In solidarity with and support for the people of Iran, a moment of melodramatic liberation from Moore & Lloyd: the climax to V For Vendetta that the makers of the film didn't think was good enough.

02:11 am [jlroberson] [Link]	Iran: Some History from Ennis & Moore I've been watching the events in Iran--what one can find out through the web, because the networks are blind--and was reminded of some work by Garth Ennis and Alan Moore that, at least in scraps, helps give a little bit of context to our historical place in this whole mess.

04:05 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	The final issue of Tom Strong Towards the end of Tom Strong, Alan Moore stopped writing the title and it was handed to a series of guest writers who each did one issue or one arc, including Brian Vaughan, Geoff Johns, Ed Brubaker, and even Michael Moorcock. Moore returned for the final issue though, to give his characters their proper send-off. This issue has a significance within Moore's oeuvre. When it came out, Moore's work on all the other ABC titles had already wrapped up. As such, this was not only his farewell to Tom Strong but to the ABC line and mainstream comics, as well (as he's made clear in interview's that he's washed his hands of that scene). It's a real delight. If only all swan songs could be this elegant and graceful. ( Eight pages that will soften the hardest heart. ) Tags: char: tom strong, creator: alan moore, creator: chris sprouse, title: tom strong (14 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:21 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	Promethea 12: A history of humanity Promethea 12 was something of a watershed moment for the series. Previously, the series had been very well-written, with excellent art, but it was still "just" your standard superheroics. This issue is when we first realized that it was going to be something more.
