[Link] Ghost 2138 [Date] 3/6/03 [Comments] 
It's currently on Hiatus, but you have to check this out anyway. This on-line graphic novel in progress experiments with so many elements of comic-book tradition, and does them well, that it's hard to describe. Ok, here is my favorite part about Ghost 2138. It's set right here, in Washington D.C., in a cool blade-runneresque future. There's a fully developed political history which explains why the story has skyscrapers, furries, assault cops, skeleton gangs, mafia, berserker androids, and superhero elements all thrown together (of course the real reason is that the authors are just having fun). In the center of this story is the unwitting hero, a dreamer who starts getting powers for reasons we don't yet know, who takes it all in stride because he's just that sure that it's because he's "the man".
