Hot Stuff
I skipped Volume II to get right into the action of what looked like a more exciting funnybook (now I'll go back and retrace my steps).Boys and girls, don't let the torpor of Chapter One here stop you from continuing--chapter One, the "Ring of Fire," which tells the romance of Tesla Strong and that fiery nut Val Var Garm.Don't get me wrong, Val Var Garm was great back in Book One, but in "Ring of Fire" I found his whole act very enigmatic.I couldn't understand what was going on with those Aztec salamanders turning the world to flame and if you ask me, I don't think the artists and inkers did either.How does Tesla survive without the robotic suits all the other good guys have to wear in that incalculably hot place underground?Instead she's just crawling across the floor of Val Var Garm's harem without any protection, and hardly breaking a sweat like she's just mildly exercised.Oh well, what does it matter, before long Val Var Garm has abandoned his kingdom (why?) and the Strongs swoop Val Var Garm off to Millennium City where Tesla can have sex with him all day long and all night too in "body positions many."-- English isn't his strong point, his smolder is.

However the book picks up considerably with a big three-chapter sweeping saga of the giant ants coming to invade earth and turn us into farm slaves with three eyes.This story had a little bit of a Douglas Adams-Tom Robbins feel, especially with the "Weird Rider" character.

Alan Moore - need to say more?
This is a non-extraordinary work of Alan Moore. And is better than 99% of the comics in the market. ... Read more

National team caps and goals correct as of March 13, 2009Richard Mulrooney (born November 3, 1976 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American soccer player who currently plays for Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer. Mulrooney played four years of college soccer at Creighton University, where he recorded 51 assists from 1995 to 1998. While there, he helped lead the team to the NCAA Final Four in 1996, and was named an NCAA All-American as a senior. Upon graduating, Mulrooney was drafted third overall in the 1999 MLS College Draft by the San Jose Clash. Mulrooney immediately earned himself a place in the Clash's starting lineup, starting 25 games while scoring one goal and 3 assists as a rookie. Mulrooney has since established himself as one of the most important players on the team, playing in 163 games and adding 44 assists while orchestrating the team's offense (both numbers are club records). He left the Quakes before the 2005 season, traded to Dallas in a large deal that included Arturo Alvarez and Brad Davis. Mulrooney helped form the core of the FC Dallas squad that began the 2005 season in first place, but Mulrooney tore his ACL 14 May 2005 and missed the remainder of the season. He came back to become a regular for Dallas in 2006 and was named as a commissioner's pick to the 2006 MLS All-Star game, starting as the MLS All-Stars beat Chelsea 1-0. On March 20th, 2007, Mulrooney was traded to expansion MLS club Toronto FC, in exchange for a partial allocation and a 2008 SuperDraft first-round pick....More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4984337 ...
