...Baghdad and The 9/11 Report deal with the most serious events in the U.S. at the turn of the millennium. Where one takes a metaphorical, artistic approach the other shuns art in favor of blunt non-fiction. Both are thought-provoking and timely. The 9/11 Report in particular has broken ground by using comix to further popularize a critical document for the public good. Its success will doubtless result in a flurry of OMB and Federal Reserve adaptations. We look forward to them...
...last eight excruciating seconds on an agitated 1,800-lb. animal that would like nothing more than to smash you against the sideboards of the arena, fling you off its back and gore you with its horns. On the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tour, concussions and broken bones are as common as Wranglers and brass-buckled belts. "Most bull riders are what you call gristleheads," says Mike Lee, 23, who has won $2 million in five years of riding. "If you're intelligent, you wouldn't do it."

...superpowers would start manifesting themselves sometime around the age of puberty. Personally I was hoping for either superstretchiness or force bolts of some kind. Puberty arrived in due course, but no superpowers, and I have reluctantly tossed my goal of becoming a superhero on the ash heap of my broken dreams. I do, however, have an archenemy...
...their tapes can serve as encouragement for localized self-starter cells. "Plotting radicals don't need membership cards or secret handshakes to do clandestine work," the French official says. "What they need is the feeling of association and direction, and at times assistance or orders from above. We've broken a few operational cells nearing attacks whose links and affiliations with the GSPC were fairly remote. But that didn't prevent them from moving ahead, and doing so in the GSPC name." In that sense, Zawahiri and his videos do at least provide small-time local terrorists with the illusion...
