Amazon.com: Midnight Nation - New Edition (Midnight Nation): J. Michael Straczynski, Gary Frank: Books
9 hours ago - via Bookmarklet
"Writer J. Michael Straczynski's classic tale of loss and redemption is collected in its entirety with all 12 issues, Midnight Nation #1/2, and a cover gallery. Also includes a touching and insightful afterword from Straczynski." - RAPatton
"J. Michael Straczynski's Midnight Nation is a terrific and hard to put down graphic novel. If you are looking for supermodels in spandex or cat suits (Not that there's anything wrong with that!), then this is not your book. The story is original and compelling and has sufficient pacing to keep you turning the pages and staying up way past your bedtime. Occasionally, I found the story to be downright thought provoking" - RAPatton

I love Frank's work, but I am starting to be a skeptic about the movie. Hopefully, a real trailer will put me at ease. - RAPatton
hmm. he doesn't remind me of an octopus. - edythe
He reminds me of Nick Fury, but with a bad wardrobe, bad posture and 2 eyes. - RAPatton

Comic Book Resources > CBR News: ECCC 2008: Straczynski Reveals Wealth of New Projects

""I love writing," he said. "I write ten hours a day, every day." He encouraged those in the audience with a passion for creativity to pursue their dreams. "You've got to do it for one reason: to not do it is suicide."" - RAPatton
but sometimes doing it leads to suicide as well... - edythe
Not for him it doesn't, but he is not a poet. I like a lot of his work. You might like something called "Midnight Nation" that he wrote. It starts out talking about the people who have fallen through the cracks of society and claims that eventually they do become invisible and live in a parallel world right by ours. That idea is interesting, but the story really gets its legs as journey tale. Artistically it has a great image in that I love: the archangel Michael is present guarding Lazarus, because Lazarus must stay alive until the end of times. He was the first person to fall through the cracks. Michael keeps any harm from befalling him. The way they illustrate Michael is that you never see his head, just his body and flaming sword, it is quite powerful because by making him faceless you make him more elemental. They tale is steeped in Jewish Mysticism (although not like Promethea is) and I liked it. - RAPatton

"“I have been surprised, excited and pleasantly shocked by these comics that are extensions of the songs that I have loved and therefore welcome these amazing stories of pictures and words because they are uncompromisingly inspiring,” Amos said" - RAPatton
I pre-ordered it; may get a copy for Robin O'D - RAPatton
like the colors of the one on the far left - edythe
I do too, but each story will be different. I think the far left is the cover and it reminds me of a modern yellow submarine. - RAPatton

they use multibuilding in the south too; attatched garages are the bane of modern domicile architecture; "would you like a house with that garage?" - RAPatton
