	Featuring Devastation Review at ActionTrip
		Devastation, in spite of its disturbing AI setbacks, can be appealing thanks to a variety of interesting and amusing features which we don't usually see in games of this type.
		Devastation also features an exciting and well-balanced multiplayer mode that features 14 maps (with four different environments).
		In short, the single-player ride in Devastation brings a few nice refreshments to the FPS genre and it wholly exploits the potentials of Unreal technology.

	Action Vault - Devastation Story Q&A
		Not nearly as easy and thus probably much more fun to guess is which of the many remaining titles will turn out to be the surprises, the ones that manage to draw levels of interest exceeding prior expectations.
		At last year's event, one such game was Devastation, a teamplay-oriented and story-driven first-person shooter from Florida-based developer Digitalo that takes place in a gritty, cyberpunk-style world, pitting squads of rebellious street fighters, gang leaders, mercenaries and former military operatives against armies of corporate police in a battle for survival and supremacy.
		Comics and graphic novels like Transmetropolitan and Tank Girl were also influences to a certain degree, with the rampant grit and cynicism.

	Action Vault - Devastation Preview
		Devastation is set in a technological dark age where the tech itself has already spelled the ruin of Earth.
		Although there is no mention of any nuclear-type scenarios in Devastation, something has clearly gone wrong, and it is up to the player to figure out exactly what.
		The traditional vision of such a future holds that life is cheap, making it a fine setting for a first-person shooter, a gaming style that tends to improve with the level of carnage.

	Featuring Devastation Hands-On Preview at ActionTrip
		As you progress through Devastation's world, you will have more and more objectives to complete and challenges to overcome, as the game dynamic quickly adapts allowing for incredible variation from the standard shooter fare.
		Devastation is one of the rare shooters (in fact, I think it's the only one) to offer players a chance to choose between an arcade and a simulation style of combat.
		Overall, Devastation is certainly worthy of your attention, as it brings its own, unique gameplay elements to the shooter market.

	Devastation
		Emotion Control: Devastation was given the ability by Disdain to control emotions and become the perfect woman to bend men to her will.
		Devastation was formed from clay by the evil god Cronus and blessed with gifts by his children.
		Delighting in torment, hatred, disgust and anger, Devastation is a hurricane of destruction.

	The Comics Journal: Essays
		Most of the letters are embarrassingly insubstantial, the anecdotes trite, the praise hollow and generic: for her "business savvy and drive," her "enthusiasm, her generosity, and her good humor," her "wonderful balance of idealism and pragmatism," her "wit and grace," and so forth.
		She was honest in a way; on an occasion or two when I would needle her about a particularly awful comic she was boosting, she'd usually admit its awfulness in what was meant to be a sotto voce, but ultimately justify it on the principle of supply-and-demand, the last refuge of the hustler.
		After several puzzling conversations regarding what constitutes a distasteful comic book vs. a "clean" (whatever clean means) comic book, she gave us a tip which we repeat to ourselves time and time again, in order to maintain sanity.

		Comics fans, creators and retailers are of course going to be affected by the tragedy along with everyone else, and the industry has responded as best it can to help the recovery.
		DC Comics' senior VP of sales and marketing, Stephanie Fierman, says the publisher will help retailers get back on their feet by not charging them for DC items.

	Clea's Cave: Comics
		Green Brain Comics is hands-down my favorite Michigan comic store. Katie and Dan Merritt are dedicated to expanding the audience for independent and alternative comics through their shop, and important comics organizations like CBLDF and Friends of Lulu.
		The Comic Arts Festival just up the street from their Dearborn shop. A small press and self-published showcase, this convention is welcome news to midwest comic fans. Mark Saturday, October 29th on your calendar.
		Will Eisner was the first comic book 'auteur' i discovered. He could write AND draw, so The Spirit represented a relatively uncompromised vision. This meant a great deal in the 70's and 80's, when i wasn't a kid anymore and the bloom was off the Silver Age rose.

		As terrified humans still flee the area, Devastator is far greater prepared to deal with the Autobots after Soundwave's fine tuning last issue.
		She has no idea what has happened to him as he lies motionless, he had just taken one look at Devastator and gone into a shell-shocked state - possibly connected to the nightmares he had be having recently about combining Transformers.
		Soundwave stands behind her and offers a helping hand, but Jessie shouts at him about Buster being ill. Soundwave has already noticed this however, and after telling her to cease her annoying whining he attempts to find out exactly what is wrong by reading his mind.

	Featuring Devastation Interview at ActionTrip
		Set in a post-apocalyptic world, and offering you a chance to play as a cynical 25-year-old street punk (oh yeah!), Devastation is another FPS game which effectively utilizes the Unreal engine.
		One of the highlights in the company history book would be the work we did with EA and Amaze Entertainment on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone last year.
		We started Devastation back on an earlier build of the Unreal Engine, and recently upgraded it to the latest version (the one often wrongly nicknamed Warfare).

	The Ultimates #1-8 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		It's a subject that is usually sidestepped in comics, but The Ultimates, by writer Mark Millar and artist Bryan Hitch, puts the question in a brand new light: It's a superhero team sponsored by the U.S. military, that carry out their missions with the strength, arrogance and righteousness of a hyperpower America.
		Most importantly, you get a sense of the high-tech devastation capable of being wrecked by the team itself in their ultra-modern, sleek military headquarters.
		And this devastation is key, as the infatuation with all things military is the core of The Ultimates.

		Generous fans and comics professionals from all avenues of comics who are expressing concern about victims of Hurricane Katrina and trying to do something to help.
		The comics industry which despite admirable plans and pledges is likely to take a long-term business hit from lost stores, interrupted cash flow, regional economic depression and a potential dip in spending power nationwide.
		Over here is a think-piece about the mainstream comic book companies that I think makes a little too much of the contrast in the directions indicated by recent news reports.

	The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
		(Comics and the Internet) As virtually every other comics news site is reporting at the moment, former Stan Lee Media C.O.O. Stephen Gordon (no relation to Radclyffe Hall's famous fictional lesbian) and his brother Jonathan have both been found guilty of defrauding his former employer to the tune of over 10 million dollars.
		The comic book, collected as a graphic novel series, made headlines recently when a Texas retailer was convicted for selling one of the books to an adult undercover cop.
		Over at ICv2 the retailer comments have turned to the subject of "comics for children" as of late (insert joke here), which in turn has led to "comics for girls," which in turn has led to Trina Robbins' thoughts on the subject.

	World Famous Comics >> Tony's Online Tips - Tony Isabella, Jun 14, 2003
		Of course, no comics convention is a one or even two-man show, so I also want to thank everyone else who worked at these events, and the fans, guests, and retailers who attended them.
		My contribution to our industry holiday will be to read these comics with an eye towards judging how good they are and how well they might succeed in their aim of bringing new customers to the shops.
		Tima is both more innocent than Michi and far less aware of her power, but her psychological devastation on learning of her true origins are as chilling as that in the comics.

	Dave's Long Box: WONDER WOMAN #143 DC Comics 1999
		Sequart.com refers to this era of Wonder Woman comics as the "Pre-Jimenez Era," because artist/writer Phil Jimenez soon took over the book for a run that I guess you would have to call the "Jimenez Era." I just think that's funny: Pre-Jimenez Era.
		Luke created Devastation, the arch-enemy that never quite became the classic villain Luke intended her to be.
		Made by the evil titan Chronus (I think) as a dark counterpart to Wonder Woman, she was as powerful as our heroine and also had strange mind-voodoo powers, and she usually appeared as an evil 12-year old girl.

		It is almost certainly incomplete; the mighty military-industrial complex of a galaxy-wide civilisation is likely to have produced at least dozens of other combat starship designs in the standard dagger-like style at each level of power and size.
		Encroachment by the forces of the New Republic and the devastation inflicted by rogue former-Imperial warlords feuding against each other ruined the networks of raw resources, componentry and ship assembly.

		Todd McFarlane, one of the comic industry's true mavericks, now stands regularly accused of creative negligence and an overt interest in corporate gain.
		This is infact a reprint collectors edition of the first volume of spawn, it is a shame that someone has spoilt a lot of the later storyline in their review.
		Spawn is one of the greatest comics i have ever read, i bought this a while back and wasnt dissapointed, unfortunately the second volume is very hard to come by and i have not yet been able to get it.

	Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski
		Bob picked up on the statistic that I gave out in that previous column, in which I revealed that our net earnings for last year (after tax) were a little less than 2 cents on the dollar of gross sales.
		Their gross margins were good, but their overall sales were insufficient to cover their costs, plus provide a positive rate of return on invested capital.
		With 10 million back issue comics already in my war chest, I think I could keep dropping prices (and using our massive cash flow to restock cheaply from dying competitors...) until a sickening disinflationary price cycle hit the entire back issue comics business.

	IGN: Devastation Review
		Devastation from Arush, Digitalo and Groove tries something similar.
		It takes the concept of squad management on an action level, makes sure your squad is constantly facing overwhelming numbers, and insists players control the whole thing while getting shot from sixty different directions.
		As it does, each of the little problems and AI inconsistencies will compound until all that's left is a bunch of guys who never seem to be doing exactly what you want them to unless you're holding their hand.

	IGN: Comics in Context #37: High Noon for Mutants
		One might think that a worldwide war and the devastation of Washington D. would dominate most of the other comics set in the Marvel Universe during the period that this Avengers story line was published.
		But no, Marvel no longer takes continuity and the shared universe concept as seriously as it should: what amounted to World War III was pretty much confined to The Avengers, just as Asgard's recent takeover of Earth, which one might think would absorb the other superheroes' attention, seems confined to Thor.
		In the course of their duel, Kang boasts of what he regards as his extraordinary achievements, and even compliments Captain America on having the "honor" of defeating him.

		On page 63 of Mike Benton's Science-Fiction Comics: The Illustrated History (Dallas: Taylor, 1992), he mentions that superhero "Captain Comet" (DC Comics) was a "mild-mannered librarian" in his secret identity, a fact ommitted in his profile in DC Who's Who.
		Towards the end, it is discovered that their fear is due to their concern that, once again, the knowledge of the weapon of destruction that caused the world's devastation (which the reader knows is the atomic bomb) will be learned again.

		Despite four years and tens of billions of dollars spent preparing for the worst, the federal government was not ready when it came at daybreak on Monday, according to interviews with more than a dozen current and former senior officials and outside experts.
		Whether or not anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees, plenty of people were aware that they might be overwhelmed, and that New Orleans could soon face major devastation and flooding as a result.
