BOHICA (Negation, Book 1)

Summary: A great comicbook that would make a great movie!
Review: An intriguing, scary sc-fi prison break story.

Beings for all over the galaxy have been kidnapped by an evil empire bnt on conquering their worlds. Most have amazing super-powers, but the role of leadership falls to one ordinary man.

This is the most interesting science fiction adventure I've read in years. It would make a stellar movie, as well.

Summary: I read it by mistake and I got hooked!
Review: Because I already read probably about two-thirds of the CrossGen line, I was planning to skip "The Negation" when it came out. (Not because the CrossGen books weren't good, but just the opposite! I couldn't afford any more!) The clerk at my comic shop dropped the Prequel issue into my reserved folder by mistake, and I decided to pick it up anyway -- and got immediately hooked.

Although each CrossGen comic series stands on its own, they do take place in a shared universe with clues as to an overall pattern appearing in each title. For fans like myself, who enjoy solving the puzzle, this book and Crux are absolutely essential. All of the diverse elements and intriguing potentials of the universe come together in these books. "The Negation" is about a band of characters from the CrossGen universe -- some from worlds we have visited in the other titles, others we have not -- who are abducted by the Negation and brought to their own universe for experimentation. A few of them break out and begin themselves to piece together the mysteries CrossGen readers have pondered since the company debuted -- What are the Negation? What do they want? What is the secret of the sigils?

This is a book for any comic fan who digs science fiction, fantasy, mystery, military-style action or superheroics. In fact, the only downside to this book is that once you start reading it, you'll want to get ALL of the CrossGen titles to help you piece it together.

Summary: Review of BOHICA
Review: Tony Bedard returns to comics in this all new monthly. The artwork is stunning and the story is solid as well. Several hundred beings from the Crossgen Universe are abducted by the Negation Empire. One character, Obregon Kaine, assumes the role of leader and uses his smarts to help himself and others escape but they are constantly on the run from the empire and must use their wits and powers to constantly elude them. The dialogue is wonderful and the part where the Kremmin appear is hysterical. If your a fan of films like The Dirty Dozen or Kelly's Heroes then this is a match made in Heaven.
