COMMENT: Valentino’s Black Emissary

Jim Valentino’s latest project, Emissary, sounds like it could generate some interesting message board debates that would likely become a regular feature on Fanboy Rampage…if it lasts long enough. This May, Image’s Shadowline imprint releases a book that poses the question of how the real world we live in would react to an actual super-being.
