I don’t have time for a full-blown review, but I do have time for a quick recommendation. Harlan Ellison and Paul Chadwick’s Seven Against Chaos is a shoo-in for best OGN of the year. Ellison’s story is rife with heroic archetypes. The structure is reminiscent of Giant-Size X-Men #1, but there’s more to it than that. The art, by turns, is reminiscent of Jim Steranko or Timothy Truman, but what it looks most like is Paul Chadwick at his best. I think those who like Saga will enjoy Seven Against Chaos, but it has more of a science fiction and less of a fantasy vibe.

I just started this last night, and I've been enjoying it immensely. Yes there are a lot of familiar themes going on here (the gathering of heroes) that we've all seen before, but Ellison pulls it of in a fun way. He also brings other fresh ideas to the table as well. I can't remember the last time I've seen Paul Chadwick doing non-Concrete work, so that is fun to see as well. Depending on how my time works out this weekend I should finish it up.
I second Jeff's recommendation.
