The newest issue of StormWatch: Team Achilles was pretty good. It was written by Micah Ian Wright, or is it Ian Micah Wright? I already forgot after walking to the bedroom to check. Oh well, that's what you get for having 3 names if you ask me. Unless you're Sarah Michelle Gellar. Thank you can have three names. And maybe Tiffany Amber Thiessen, which was my bowling name for one night.

There was some bad parts to the book, like the fact that I couldn't tell whether this U.N. official was male or female and whether or not he or she was afraid of Colonel Santini or not because the artist couldn't quite depict the emotions on his/her face very clearly. But I'm mostly talking about the writing anyway.

The story relates very much to the critically acclaimed DaVinci Code, which you know was one of the books we read on the Hipster Book Forum. It features the Priory of Sion and also the Knights of Malta (which, according to this book, are the polar opposite knights from the Knights Templar). The twist though, is that we are introduced to a Merovingian, a descendant of Christ, and he's got all of Christ's miraculous powers - or claims to. At the end of the issue, Colonel Santini shoots a guy in the head and tells the Merovingian to raise the dead to prove he's who he says he is. It's something of a cliffhanger and feels a little blasphemous. Good stuff.
