Comic Art
Sadly, it is time to leave lame Spidey villians behind us. Mostly because I am out of wisecracks about them. Things are going to get really interesting here for a while as I am going to start a series on charcters we shall call, for lack of a better term, "omnipotents."Let's face it, comic stories are about the conflict, and it is important to have the good guys and the bad guys well balanced. If one is just too powerful in comparsion to the other, the story is just boring. But every now and then it becomes necessary to create a character just so powerful that they are near gods.
Marvel did this a lot more than DC did, but both have done it at one point or another. In some cases they have been cheap plot devices, in others primary players, and in yet others, title characters, though such are usually short lived, because the lack of competition makes stories hard to write.I want to here begin a series on these characters, It will likely be less text, more images. Images like that below will, hopefully tell you why. One thing about omnipotents, they can look really cool.
We will continue with the speedster series in alternating weeks, but in the meantime, welcome to the world of the unimaginably large.
