Global Frequency symbol[edit]

When I saw the Global Frequency symbol, I see it as a stylized earth with the 4 cardinal points. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peewack (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Comics vs TV?[edit]

The article says: 'In a departure from the usual serial nature of modern comic books, Ellis designed the comic like a television series with standalone "episodes", allowing the reader to come in at any point in the series and be able to understand what was going on.' This seems offbase to me in both directions: First, plenty of comics have standalone episodes, allowing the reader to start anywhere. (I haven't read any of these recently, but Archie, Top Ten, most team-up/"two-in-one" kinds of titles, and most Golden Age comics tended to have standalone issues, and that's just off the top of my head.) Second, plenty of TV shows have huge amounts of continuity/backstory (soap operas, Alias, Lost, BSG, B5, etc) that leave new viewers confused. And on a side note, I can't think of any TV shows (other than anthology shows like Twilight Zone) that have all-new characters every episode; I'm sure there are some, but it's not the norm in TV. So my point is that I don't think it makes any sense to say that this comic is (a) a departure from the usual way modern comics work, nor (b) "like a television series." It would be more accurate to say it's a departure from the ongoing-story approach that some modern comics take, and that it's more like some TV shows; but it would be just as accurate to say that it's a departure from the continuity-oriented approach of some TV shows, and is more like single-issue comics. --Elysdir (talk) 18:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
