Well I just read the first issue of a four part mini that I will be adding. It's from BOOM and it's called Broken Worlds.
People are leaving the Earth as a 'Doomsday' meteor is heading for our fair planet. A lottery was held to decide ... ya know what, I will just post the solicitation for the mini :
Author: Frank J. Barbiere
Artist: Christopher Peterson
"With a meteor days away from causing an extinction-level event on Earth, time is running out for Elena Marlowe. While most of the planet’s population and her family were approved by the government to escape on one of the giant spaceships headed to another planet, her application was denied due to her mysterious past. With the meteor fast approaching, Elena tries desperately to find a way to fake her way onto the last ship or else be left behind to die with the rest of Earth’s rejected denizens."
Now upon reading that I wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to read this, but someone forced me to (Thanks Dave) and now I am hooked. This is a pretty well written issue with some decent, non-intrusive art that has a strong character side to it. This could easily turn into a show or at least an ongoing series. Give it a try I say.

Boom also has a couple more 4 issue mini's that are coming out and while I have no plans to buy them right now, I sure do hope someone forces me to read them.
