S.H.I.E.L.D. #12

[laughing_tree]

"Thor is about a rebellious son who can’t please his father no matter what he does. Odin’s a jerk. He claims to have a very clear vision of Thor’s destiny, one that doesn’t involve wasting time with Earthlings, but like many fathers, he’s much better at articulating what Thor isn’t supposed to do than what he is supposed to do. There’s poor Thor, just trying to follow his heart, while Odin--time and again with all the compassion of a hurricane--punishes Thor for breaking specious rules that were never very clear to begin with. THAT, I got. THAT, hundreds of thousands of teenage readers have been getting since 1962. Characters, if they’re to have any longevity, have to speak to universal concerns." -- Mark Waid

Imperium's a book with scope.

[thanekos]

Its cast's equal to its premise.

Its protagonist, uber-psiot (psychic) Toyo Harada, wants to change the world. He wages war with all he is and all he has to that end, against those that would oppose him.

One of those are the alien Vine, who have Earth marked out for themselves.

He struck the first blow against them. In response, they formed the Vine Planting Liberation Army.

( As acronyms go, it's certainly one. )
