I enjoyed it. The art is fantastic. There are some really cool ideas in this book. Anybody else get a printing error on 2 pages? Just wondering, it didnt decrease my enjoyment of the book.

Just bought and read it. Fantastic. Great ideas and humor are two of the things that I like most about Warren's work. I will hold my questions and applause until the end.

Absolutely loved this issue, and the series as a whole. The confrontation between Krishna and Malak was probably the highlight for me.

Great issue. Art is still spot on, Krishna is the best looking God to me as the others either look too human or are visually boring to me. I loved the shot of Malak walking from Afghanistan to India ...

This was by far, the crescendo point in this series. An amazing issue in this thought provoking story. I wait patiently for this to conclude, knowing full-well I will not be disappointed.

Enjoyed it, but also struggling to see how this is going to be tied up in one issue. Still, I'd much rather read a comic with too many ideas in it than too few. The highlight for me was the look of ...

This issue also felt like the most overtly geopolitical of the run so far. I keep thinking about a comment Bruce Stirling made in a speech a while back, about how India and China will inherit the world but won't get to do anything fun with it because it's too fucked up already. That really rang true here.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8687&Focus=254046#Comment_254046 2010-08-09T00:12:11-07:00 2013-05-20T02:21:23-07:00 SunSongsSideB http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=9220

Loved it. Love the concepts. Love Krishna. In the for the long haul. But still waiting for China's attempt at a "Lu Tung-Pin" incarnate to make an appearance. Regardless, great stuff!

I should have waited for the TPB as usual (for as far as Avatar is concerned I prefer TPB's) but I couldn't resist buying #4, just to have a look, it has happened already, and BANG! Whew!

I love the japanese animé dimension of it, first of all. The Art is in perfect harmony with that. Kudos too for the choice of white noise during the battle and destruction sequences. Also for the questions raised and scattered althrough the issue. Just noticing the expression "industrialization of human intelligence" is frightening.

In my view, a god is created for mainly one purpose: secure the power of those who make Them up, especially if this involves torture, violence and destruction in Their holy name. Only the dumb will feel in peace, "for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". However, here, some entities appear naked, and although obviously male judging from their features, yet, not one holy pecker: is this absence the main trigger of their wrath? one can wonder.

What I expect always from Warren is something OTT, like the appearance of a kraken (unforgettable in Gravel 11) because irony is ludicrous. This time, a hole in the moon made my day, merci!

Looking forward to devouring the TPB now.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8687&Focus=254556#Comment_254556 2010-08-11T08:52:29-07:00 2013-05-20T02:21:23-07:00 Shadow Age http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=9227

Another great issue. Krishna sending Malak into the moon is definitely one of my favourite scenes in the series so far. And to think he might have planned for that happen! I can't wait for Dajjal ...

I can't wait for Dajjal to show up, because I'm very interested in what he's capable of.

And Morian Lugus is still creepy.

Can't wait to see how it all ends!]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8687&Focus=255285#Comment_255285 2010-08-14T22:31:30-07:00 2013-05-20T02:21:23-07:00 bumnote http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=9159

am i the only person that thinks malak might make a reappearance? alright he shot through the moon, but i'm pretty sure he was in one piece when he did it. or maybe thats for another comic set waaaay ...

Just noticing the expression "industrialization of human intelligence" is frightening.

That turn of phrase leaped out at me as well. I don't think I've ever encountered it before, and it perfectly ecapsulates the momentum of a lot of speculative threads about the uses of artificial intelligence. When singularity enthusiasts rhapsodize about the benefits of "uploading", the presumption is always that the capability to manufacture the structure of human thought in an artificial medium will be used to preserve the integrity of individuals. But what they are in fact talking about is a form of industrialization, and likely to be a more terrifyingly powerful technology than anyone can now imagine. Unlikely to turn into a friendly backup service to the immortality seeking individual. More likely to turn into "how can we commodify and construct new capacities with the components of sentient thought?"

"Industrialization of human intelligence" is a better description of singular likelihood than "uploading".]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8687&Focus=256559#Comment_256559 2010-08-22T13:14:08-07:00 2013-05-20T02:21:23-07:00 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2

Well... I love it! Both issue 4 and the series arc. Immediately is too long to get my hands on issue #5. Rather than specifics of individual characters, I'd say why it really resonates with me is ...

Rather than specifics of individual characters, I'd say why it really resonates with me is because of the underlying psychology of gods or godlike beings - Dr. Manhattan was without question my favorite part of Watchmen (like the maraschino cherry atop a delicious desert) and similarly characters like Kid Miracleman, or Tetsuo from Akira, etc etc have always really fascinated me. So this shotgun smorgasbord of different flavors and temperaments of godhood is just delicious.

Initially the over-the-top, speedball delivery kinda threw me due to receiving misinformation that this would be a full run, volumed comic production instead of a mini series, but it seems over the top in just the right way and direction. Sorta like firing John Wyndamn out of a howitzer. :)

Cheers.

I really like the presumed audience Warren writes for in Supergod, none of this hand holding walk you through the paces fucking about,
It's here's the concept, here's the world, lets get fucking to it!

Imagine the absolute meal some one else could easily make of this premise,
dragging it out inexorably over more and more convoluted issues, bloating what momentum there was at the beginning

Ahem, excuse me.

No Sir-ee, Supergod is a shot of Turkish Ristretto and a stick of cinnamon gum,
whereas it could instead be a gallon sized Starbucks caramel float with a two-fisted muffin.
