 Echo From The Abyss : View topic - The Comics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
I have read the graphic novel they published a few months ago but it would have helped to have an introduction to the comic since the premise is quite a bit different.
It was through racism and civil war that threw the world into turmoil and a single man decides to cleanse the world by setting off an atomic bomb which sends the world into further chaos and leaves only 10 million alive.
It's just that I hate it when there's a very good chance that I may not see the end of a story...which is why comics are about as risky as TV shows when it comes to committing yourself to giving them a try, and worse, becoming attached.

The last thing you want to do is to close the gap between you and the Abyss (which is exactly what her Kikou-shou will do).
It seems that the Abyss also has some LAG after it does certan moves (like its pillar of flame thingie) (Tracy tips her hat to Ian, whose e-mail is currently missing).
Skywalker (next time, e-mail me when you're not delirious) notes that the third form of the Abyss is SO big that it takes 3-5 times the normal damage (since all its red parts are considered fair game).

 pomo graphic novels
Before Comics took themselves seriously enough to demand three dollars an issue, before they came in hard cover editions with limited gold and silver foil covers they were a largely disposable medium defining the hopes and aspirations in a generation of adolescents across the nation.
This censorship would eventually come to comics in the form of the Comics Code of Authority which was put into place in 1954 to suppress the increasingly graphic and grotesque output of the horror comic industry.
Comic books were supposed to have garish costumed hulks in dynamic poses and cats and mice were certainly antagonistic but Tom never buried Jerry’s dead corpse in a shallow grave.

 IGN: The Abyss: Special Edition Review
The Abyss is a vastly underrated, underwater thriller that has been dubbed everything from “E.T. at sea” to “Close Encounters of the Underwater Kind.” And it’s true: the too-cute aliens discovered by a team of oil riggers at the bottom of the ocean do invite comparison to those trite man-meets-alien tales.
But The Abyss is far from a surface-level alien encounter, and that finally became apparent when Cameron completed the special edition cut of the film that’s featured on disc one, along with the original theatrical release.
The ensuing drama includes way too many accidents to actually be believable and an awfully lame stereotyping of the military, but you’ll be too dazzled by the outstanding underwater photography and Oscar-winning visual effects to notice or care about those weaknesses.

 IGN: Ghosts of the Abyss Review
I refer to Ghosts of the Abyss as a "neo-documentary" for several reasons.
Paxton introduces everybody on the ship in a casual manner, but I quickly forgot everybody's name as they seldom used chyron to remind us who they all were.
In the end, Ghosts of the Abyss is a beautifully rendered middle-of-the-road documentary that strikes a perfect balance between entertainment and education; the film never really leans heavily in either direction.

Because "Ghosts of the Abyss" is in 3-D, you sit in front of the enormous IMAX screen wearing big flat-front fl glasses that look like Yoko Ono's castoffs.
The image is fuzzy and indistinct except in the dead center of the screen.
But there's nothing in "Ghosts of the Abyss" or, I'd venture to say, nothing potentially within James Cameron, to equal the simple ghostly poetry of the images shot by the explorer Robert Ballard on his exploration of the wreck site.

 Comics Should Be Good: Comic Dictionary - "Paternalistic Continuity"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Paternalistic continuity is what you call it when a writer/editor gets protective (or paternalistic) of the continuity of a particular character, and goes out of his/her way to control the history of said character.
Another recent example was Jim Starlin in his Infinity Abyss mini-series, where he used an almost exact idea (instead of Doom-Bots, he used clones of Thanos) to explain away recent appearances of Thanos that he, Starlin, felt were out of character for Thanos (including the infamous Thanos/Ka-Zar fight).
Well, in the case of Infinity Abyss, the joke is that Thanos' ego in creating his doubles has led to them making havoc all over the universe, so Starlin gets to cover his creation's ass and be ironic about it.

 Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily!
Beginning in 1961, Charlton began publishing a series of comic books starring the title monster of GORGO (1961 King Brothers film distributed by MGM), a baby prehistoric monster and his doting monster-mother.
Apparently, before the parting-of-the-ways with MGM, Charlton’s editors were planning a rather unusual “event” that was quite rare in those days: a crossover between GORGO and THE FIGHTIN’ 5 (a title that continued its numbering from Charlton’s SPACE WAR).
This issue’s two-part, 15-page “Fightin’ 5” cover-story, “Monster From The Abyss”, was edited by Pat Masulli, written by Joe Gill, penciled by Bill Montes and inked by Ernie Bache.

Major themes of the precode horror comics are decapitation, or dismemberment, or disfigurement of some kind, such as destruction of the face by acid, or the poking out of eyes.” And this from a witness for the defense!
For comics, the 1950-54 period is analogous to Hollywood movies in 1930-34.
The early 30s for films, and the early 50s for comics, were seen as times of bold, often lurid entertainment, and are viewed in retrospect as pop-cultural high points.
