	Monarchy #10 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Lastly, as one character in that same comic proceeds to mindlessly pummel his opponent, he makes the suggestive remark, "There's more where that came from" as if to indicate that there are many more mindless brawls than anything else found in comicdom.
		Monarchy has consistently suggested that Kansas is a land of sun gods found "over the rainbow".
		The Monarchy have been trying to heighten his expectations and restore a different and older idea of who is worth looking up to.

	Comic Book Resources Forums - Warren Ellis is not given enough credit for the face of comics today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Though I'm not sure he could be held responsible for subsequent writers badly mishandling it since comics writers failing to understand the tools of the trade or how things work seems to be indemic.
		That said, it seems to me that the man has pretty much been plenty of credit, though I don't know if he can be credited for the state of comics today in general, especially when so much of is very different from the direction he has stated he'd like to see the industry move in.
		Please don't blame Ellis on the state comics are in today, the industry is so far from what he'd like it to be, and what it should be that it's kinda sad.

	Printer Friendly: Monarchy #4 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		In the heart of the Midwest, the Monarchy’s two most enigmatic figures, Jon Farmer and Union, are participating in a little male bonding and discussing the intricacies of parallel universes.
		As the initial promos suggest, the Authority is the sledgehammer and the Monarchy is the scalpel.
		The only question is will the traditional comic reader find this book worth their time and patience, considering that it’s something that will apparently take several months to properly develop.

	Captain Comics Round Table -> disturbing trend in fantasy/SF/Comics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Add these off-the-top-of-my-head examples to the fact that, as Cap pointed out, nearly EVERY alien race and lost civilization (benevolent or otherwise) is a hereditary monarchy and you have a strong case for believing that many writers really don’t want a democracy that espouses that individuals have a right to choose their own paths.
		I'm not saying that the presentation of hereditary monarchies is new in SF/Fantasy; I'm saying that the notion that they are preferable is. Flash Gordon did indeed show a monarchy as despotic, and it insinuated that what we have in the good ol' USA was preferable.
		Whenever a monarchy was presented it either cast no political aspersions and used the form simply to evoke a mythological sensations in the audience or it showed the flaws of monarchies in a forthright manner (Star Trek's episode "Elaan of Troius" showed that even the monarchs had problems retaining their individual freedoms).

	A View From the Cheap Seats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Ask any comics fan who the top writers and artists are today, and chances are that a sizable percentage of the names listed will be creators from the United Kingdom - the European island monarchy consisting of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
		Targeting the young male adolescent audience that had whet its appetite on science fiction films, the stories and characters in 2000 AD repackaged the more familiar conventions of the genre and gave them a grittier, urbane, punk rock kind of aesthetic, not unlike what was being done in the short-lived magazine Action a year earlier.
		Spirit of the Amazon (NW Studios) is a comic that, according to its press release, was second only to X-Men in sales in its native Brazil.

	The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
		(Comic Books) When Newsarama published what was alleged to be a partial list of Eisner nominees, my first reaction was to wonder why someone would go to the trouble to release such a skimpy list of potential winners, given how many awards there are and how many nominees there are for each.
		Last year, Free Comic Book Day was quite intentionally scheduled to coincide with the release of the original Spider-Man film, and the fact that the third annual event might not have coattails from a Marvel blockbuster to ride seems to be a bit disconcerting.
		Comic books and graphic novels are already seen as little more than R&D for the film industry in some quarters, and an insistence on keeping ties between the two only reinforces the notion.

	Analysis: In the popularity game, the monarchy may have lost its strongest player - 9/1/97 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		LONDON -- After all the anger and bitterness that had passed between them, there was a deep irony in the somber journey to Paris of the Prince of Wales Sunday to escort home the body of his divorced wife.
		Some say she was its hope of successful adaptation to the modern world and that the institution might not long survive her.
		Her public appeal was phenomenal, and the monarchy badly needs that popularity to rub off on her sensitive son William, whose task of becoming one day a successful modern king has at a tragic stroke become immensely more difficult.

	Ye Olde Faith Comics Update Community
		I wanted to get back to the idea of the monarchy as an actual power, and on some level it made sense to me that if society took a dive and took democracy with it, the monarchy, which has outlasted a hell of a lot, would remain.
		If anything, a lot of the autobiographical comics I've read have seemed far more dishonest, written in a way that the audience cannot help but feel as through the person writing is the only sympathetic character in whatever situation he/she is in.
		Finally, as I mentioned in my personal LJ, my 24 hour comic was chosen to be a part of the 24 hour comic TPB, which was really really thrilling, and a huge boost to my ego.

	Article 10: Automatic For The People
		Both cases have certain similarities - the readers of a relatively arty comic (and being 'relatively arty' doesn't take much compared to the industry average, let's be blunt) rallying around it when it's widely dismissed as impenetrable junk.
		There is a line between comics that have adopted a difficult but more rewarding storytelling technique, and those that are just badly told stories (or in some cases, more charitably, failed experiments).
		Then again, MONARCHY was nominally a superhero book, and if it had been clear enough about some of its plot elements to get a conventional action story up and running as a framework, who knows, maybe it would still be around today.

		Its strangeness was always very calculated, though, either serving as background or being a very distinct part of the story that was dealt with.
		With Monarchy, I'm unfortunately not getting that feeling; it's much more along the lines of an accusation I heard aimed at other books in the past.
		He's clearly having fun drawing Monarchy; with all of the crazy ideas, he's really able to cut loose and draw all sorts of strange things.

		At some point, if you decide to stick it out, you'll want to grow your monarchy beyond just you and your vassals, so your vassals can take on vassals of their own, and so on.

		And as for the idea that the monarchy "ought to offend the moral sensibilities of all Americans," surely Americans should respect the right of another country to have a different system.
		After all, a head of state chosen by heredity (or luck) is pretty independent of special interest groups or lobbyists, and owes his or her appointment to no major oil companies.
		He seems to have no idea that there are other monarchies outside of Britain -- for instance, half of Western Europe, all of which are democracies despite their undemocratic heads of state.

		The main plot was essentially a side-issue involving some pseudo-Authority type kids, the effects of toxic waste on their school bus and the resolution of the matter by "our heroes."
		One reason that I do like Authority is that the characters come across as real people with real problems amid all the physics buzzwords and parallel universe silliness.
		Frankly they remind me of the pseudo-Authority Elite that was present in Action Comics #775 recently and not in a good way.

		Wessex, round which England coalesced in the ninth and tenth centuries, was a participatory society which balanced an effective monarchy at the centre with institutions of local government which required - and got - the active involvement of most free men.
