Anyway else read the article over at Newsarama about China's first Super-Human team?

All Grant Morrison concepts and some great JG Jones character sketches.

Love Mother of Champions, the Celestial Archer, the Seven Deadly Brothers and Immortal Man in Darkness. Cool names and cool outfits.

Just thought I'd mention this here, as a way to keep track of the Great Ten's appearances in the DCU.

Checkmate #4-5, we had some members battling Fire & other Checkmate operatives.

In 52 week #32 (?) Enlonganated Man teamed up with Accomplished Perfect Phsycian in and outside of Nanda Parbat in probably the best written Great 10 appearance to date. It was really good, and I liked the two of them paired together--I hope I see it again. APP is probably my favorite member right now, which isn't really fair as he's the only one to get such good treatment so far. Looking forward to more from him.

Just thought I'd bump this since a new Great Ten series will be announced soon. I know someone who checks these things will correct me, but am I right in recalling that Peter Milligan's name might be attached to this?

(Lurkers-watch this, if I'm wrong, someone will be on me in like 2 seconds wink )

Peter Milligan is on Infinity, Inc.

The Great Ten is an all-Asian creative team.

thought that Grant Morrison would write them - after all - isn't he the one who created them in the first place? So how is he be on "all-Asian team"? You mean he's leading the team?

I don't think Morrison's involved in it.

Some guy called Tien Pham is the writer. I forget the artist.

Yeah, somebody compared to it to trying to make a British super-hero team "authentic" by having a French guy write it.
