"Nikolai Dante tries to keep the peace in the war-torn streets of New York in 'Amerika,' by Robbie Morrison (The Authority) and Simon Fraser"

That'll be a double helping of "Yay!" for me, please.

"and war-world 'The Vort' plunges into madness, by G. Powell and D'Israeli"

And a large side order of "Woo-Hoo!" as well.

Cheers!
