From The Truth Makes for Strange Fiction Dept.: A new graphic novel called The Five Fists of Science has Twain and Tesla trying to save the world from Edison and J.P. Morgan -- a bizarro mix of truth and fiction, where the truth does most of the bizarring. (pdf preview available here, on a wonky connection.) Edison and Tesla, mano a mano! Tesla and Edison, battling for our future, in the past! Think that's scary, kids? AwROOOOoooOOOOooOO!

  • Excellent FPP: 5 points Tesla reference: +5 Count Floyd reference: +100 Come out swingin' eh Cap'n?
  • I wish my name was "Matt Fraction."
  • Just to go through life as 'Mr. Fraction' would be pretty cool. But some people would say you're divisive.
  • Some would say you were half the man you used to be.

  • Start something over, as it were.
  • Tesla... Now there's was a mad genius. Fuck Edison!

  • Indeed. It's made me quite cross -- multiplying my usual anger by a great factor.
  • Capt., don't be such a square! Roots of problems like these are simple to solve.
  • If you want to appeal to the lowest common denominator, sure.
  • But I'd say that's not a prime concern - in fact I'm positive it's nought.
  • This thread had paid quite a dividend, nevertheless.
