The 99 is a huge hit back home. Backed by the creative forces of Fabian Nicieza (X-Men) and Stuart Moore (Wolverine) and Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa.
The concept of the comic is based on the 99 attributes of Allah, Many of these names refer to characteristics that can be possessed by human individuals. For example – generosity, strength, faithfulness, wisdom are all virtues encouraged by a number of faiths.
I personally find the concept refreshing and daring, I would have easily perked up my ears if Islamic studies incorporated some form of creativity at school. I'm just wondering.. if all the superheros came together and all their good attributes were infused wouldn't they in theory make God? or all their negative attributes made Super Satan? Surely that would have popped up at some point.
Thoughtss..??
