Has anyone read this? I got a copy as I guess it was free comic day at the shop yesterday and I don't know anything about it.

:)
 
actually i haven't heard about this :confused:. What it about and whats it publisher? always like hearing bout a new series
 
I haven't read it yet, but maybe I'll read it now lol. It's by someone called Teshkeel Comics?

Billed as "The Next Generation of Super Heroes".

Oh wait, on the inside cover:

"99 gems of power lay scattered across the earth. These 'Noor Stones' are storehouses for the knowledge of the great city of Baghdad and its illustrious civilisation, now lost to time and history. Legend tells of how these stones once empowered a select few with superhuman abilities.

Dr. Ramzi Razem has made it his mission to search for these gems and those who would bear them. If he succeeds, humanity may once again be able to usher in an age of peace and prosperity.

His years of searching have proved futile. Until now.

Today, something is different. Today the light begins to shine, bringing the promise and power...of The 99."

Okay, yeah, so it was pretty bad. The artwork is not very good, and the story went on and on about the same thing. I wouldn't buy it lol
 
It starts out with like 26 pages about this girl who is kidnapped and in the process of digging a tunnel out of captivity finds one of these stones and it helps her see the "light" in people. Then she and this other guy who has a stone too (but they don't explain it) go visit this guy in a coma and they end up finding another guy with a stone who's been using it to get revenge on people who kill people in car wrecks. It's just ho-hum.
 
yeah does sound that spectacular as a matter of fact i can think of a few stories, books, comics and manga that start out with that same formula. I also found out of about the books its some kind of foreign series starring muslim characters. heres the site
