Explanation Conducive To Books Supergod
The last survivor’s tale of a global catastrophe, after scientists build god-like (and uncontrollable) superheroes.Praying to be saved by a man who can fly will get you killed! From the mind of Warren Ellis, the creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN and PLANETARY, comes the most horrifying superhero graphic novel you will ever read! What if the arms race of global superpowers did not yield nuclear stockpiles, but rather messianic beings capable of wondrous miracles and – when needed – the ability to unleash the wrath of gods? But the scientists, generals, and politicians built super-humans to save the planet, no one ever imagined how their heroes would do it – or even if they’d want to. Behold the apocalyptic tomorrow, when supermen kill us all and end the world just because we wanted to be rescued by human-shaped things from beyond Science itself!

This wasn't the best thing I've ever read, but it was SO COOL.The story has the main character, surrounded on all sides by ruined buildings, give a well-informed account of the events that led to the end of the world. The British had a secret space program since after the Second World War. Their first space launch created strange results: the three astronauts were fused together by an alien fungus, confounding the scientists who begin worshipping the creature. They called it Morrigan Lugus.Meanwhile, India developed a clone named Krishna with godlike
This horrifying comic is about a superhero arms race between countries. The story is narrated from the point of view Simon Reddin, a British scientist who sits in the ruins of post-apocalyptic London, waiting to die. He tells Tommy, an American counterpart taking refuge in a bunker, in order to provide an oral history of the events that led to the end of the world. "What if the gods we(humans) made to save us, turns out to be the one who'd kill us?" This is a terrifying comic and an interesting
This could be viewed as a conclusion to Warren Ellis' superhero trilogy for Avatar Press (I'm including Black Summer and No Hero). while I would argue Black Summer ended on a slightly optimistic note, and No Hero is downright cynical, Supergod is his bleakest work in the genre. Essentially, using the cover blurb, humanity learns not to pray to its superheroes as if they are gods for salvation.The premise is that over a 70 year period the world's government started trying to create superbeings,
No idea why this tryhard piece of shit has any positive reviews. Whats the point of this comic? That weapons of mass destruction are bad? The hubris of science? Theres very little depth to it. Its really just an excuse to have superhumans with religious sounding names battle each other. The art is mediocre generic American comic book art. The way it is written is very very cheesy. Its all "ohhhh maaan I'm gonna smoke this joint and tell you about what a cool secret scientist I am and how the
I love Ellis and was expecting some good things about this book after the rave reviews I read here. This is one of those times I must scratch my head and wonder what the other readers saw in this bleak, over the top book. This idea and the story Ellis wrote would have worked better as a short 30 page comic. Dragging it out over 5 issues (and packaged in one graphic novel) made for some pretty dull reading. After the first page the premise and conclusion are already laid out...Earth has been
I had a feeling that I wasn't going to like this book, and I was wrong! It actually had a good plot, well I kinda wish Krishna had been talked about more. He made the most sense, being created to make India a better place. So he removed the things that were causing pollution in Inida, which just happened to be us. The other gods made less sense, I'm not sure why it was decided that the UK would have a Supergod that grows fungi and causes people to wank off to it, that was just weird. But
