NPR's Studio 360 covers The 99, a comic about 99 heroes who each embody one of the 99 attributes of God (AKA Asma’ Allah al-Ḥusná, or the 99 most beautiful names of God). Conceived by Naif Al-Mutawa, founder of Teshkeel Comics, The 99 is written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by John McCrea and James Hodgkins. A preview issue (and a long one, 68 pages) is available as a free PDF here.

That's interesting.
Anyhow, just stopping by to say hi.
As intersting as this is, this is going to be a complete fail.
So complete it's actually embarressing.
There are already a good few hardcore Sunni & shiite leaders laying into this film...
"the fact that they all go around in 3's means that the writer is working for the pope and is trying to promote holy trinity."
Oh have mercy.
Muslims are PROPER crazy - they dont even let women vote in some hardcore ISlamist countries - people think they are going to like a film promoting American type super heros who are meant to be Muslims?
Wars have been started for less!
this is a very interesting idea, if it is well developed it go pretty far, hopefully I would read the PDF in a while and check it better.
