...lover Isabel, the Queen of Spain, who is under threat by conspiring forces of the Holy See. The book opens with a Hollywood style set piece as Thomas leads a band of soldiers in an assault on a huge Mayan temple thought to contain the Tree. As hundreds clash on the temple steps a stony-eyed Mayan priest tears the still-beating heart out of a Franciscan friar. It's an exciting sequence that takes best advantage of artist Kent Williams' ability to combine expressive, natural characterization with fantastically interpretive imagery.

Their personal dispute came to a head last year over Summers’ intervention in the Harvard College Curricular Review (HCCR)— of which Kirby was chair—a move that many...
...politically incorrect, and also inaccurate, to use the loaded phrase "clash of civilizations" to describe big stuff like the war in Iraq or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But the burgeoning international conflict over a series of cartoons in a provincial Danish newspaper caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad seems to fit the term with depressing accuracy. It's a case of the hard-fought right to free expression banging up against Muslims' conviction that states ought to punish anyone who insults the Prophet. And so far, all the protagonists appear ready to ride their principles to Armageddon...
