The Global Frequency: part one
Had to cut this into two parts because blogger has no love for me. Enjoy!

The Global Frequency, the new mini series by comics uber scribe Warren Ellis opened stronger than any comic in history. The comic book is high concept at it's wildest and it's best. It's about an international group called the Global Frequency, a group of 1001 strangers, each a specialist in their own field connected by a sophisticated cell phone network. When a impossible crisis arises, it's up to the leader, Miranda Zero, to employ the Global Frequency and literally save the world.

The first issue issue, Gun Head, opened like the world's most expensive television pilot never made. Reading the issue, you could literally feel mad energy flowing through the panels, infusing the comic with manic speed and strength seemingly powered by the Boom Boom Satellites. The stakes, incredibly high, hurdled with the reader, like a train on a suicide course to a brick wall. When the issue came to it's conclusion, I could feel my white knuckles grasping the pages almost for dear life. This is what comics were supposed to be. Action, manic speed speed and energy tuned to the length of your favorite pop song.
