Anyone else notice the scary similarities between the recent Superman story arc and our real world. I wrote a little article and posted a spooky picture here.

Oh, and I have no idea who Supmerman is. I was talking about Superman.

Its freaky. I'm almost afraid to read comics.

Man, between this and that scene with the jet plane sentinel flying through the building in Genosha, and that giant 'fuck you' in Marvel Boy.. comics predict the world's downfall...

And, of course, the following X issue with Jean, Hank and the aid workers trawling and crawling through the wreckage - and the shocked global response. It really seems as though there was something in the air.

Also, think of the first authority storyline. Kaizen Gamorra the sinister terrorist overlord, launching his followers in giant suicide attacks on major cities, crashing into buildings...

Or the end of Watchmen.

Clearly, Grant should now only write comics about rainbows, puppies and fluffy bunnies.

I'm thinking of restricting my buying habits to the bunny and rainbow genre for a while.
