SuperGod: Now That's How To End The World, Baby

With London Town destroyed within a page

Of starting the whole story, SuperGod

Is special. Gastonny gets to rampage

On many cities in this comic, broad

And quite ambitious in its concept: we,

Who once got anxious, made a Golden Calf

To worship when no real divinity

Did show itself, made our own gods -- a half-

Assed plan if e'er there was, and soon there are

A British fungus god, a Krishna and

Much stranger beings. "Save the world," we roar

But do not specify from whom. The land

Soon pulses with such horrors only one

(That's Warren Ellis) could make up. What fun!

In Which I Sonnetize An Encomium To Radical Comics And Their First Product, CALIBER

The great Old West n'er had such vivid hues
As given it by Garrie Gastonny
In Radical's first comic. To infuse
The normal browns and greys with what must be
The brightest colors ever is but one
Of many choices I can only praise
In this, a well-morphed tale of man and gun
With the Olde English legend of the days
Of Arthur. More than simply Western drag
Clothes this retelling. Gone are noblemen
And knights and ladies fair; instead rag-tag
And outcast are the heroes in here when
Sam Sarkhar's done with them. The choice is bold.
I long so for the sequels to unfold.
