Many comics, even soopa'ero ones, are still quite bearable…

Heck even the X-Men titles have managed to deliver a few very good stories.

It's precisely the comics that were printed on the same time frame as said mini-series—and many in the same vein—, the ones that I'd call "unbearable"… But I must admit that this particular series was great and the worst (the whole 90s' collector-speculator scam, the blandness and mediocrity in both art and writing amongst the majority of the available titles) was still to come.

Still, since 1999 or so, there has been an impressive amount of GREAT comics, S&S or Soopa, all worth reading if you are really missing the "great story, increadible art" feeling of days gone by, Trapondur…

The Savage World of Solomon Kane

The Savage World of Solomon Kane

In the spring of 2007, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, in conjunction with Paradox Entertainment, Inc., will produce The Savage World of Solomon Kane Roleplaying Game. God's angry warrior, Solomon Kane is Robert E. Howard's (Conan, Kull, Bran Mak Morn and many other incredible characters) most unusual creation. Black-clad and steely tempered, Kane bestrides demon-infested Africa and the war-torn Europe of Queen Elizabeth I to dispense relentless justice with the point of his sword. Pirates, vampires, mad queens, winged Furies, rapacious bandits, the berserk warriors of lost Atlantis – evil cannot escape justice from Solomon's slashing rapier.

Pinnacle's CEO Shane Lacy Hensley is a long-time fan of the Kane stories: "Our game Savage Worlds is in large part inspired by the classic pulps, with my personal favorite Solomon Kane at the absolute top of the list. I've read and re-read Solomon's adventures for years and am thrilled to be doing this project. As you know, Pinnacle isn't known for licenses, but this is one that's very near and dear to our hearts. We feel this is a perfect match for our talents, our history of historical horror, and our game system."

The Savage World of Solomon Kane will be a full-color, 256-page book, written by Shane Lacy Hensley and Paul Wade-Williams, with a cover by Matt Wilson of Privateer Press. It will contain the award-winning Savage Worlds rules, background information on Kane and his adventures, all new locations, scenarios, and dark secrets for heroes to explore. New setting rules reflecting the incredible conviction of Kane are included, as well as a wealth of character ideas appropriate to Solomon's 16th Century world of horror and adventure, and dozens of scenarios inspired by the Puritan's own savage tales.
