    It just occurred to me: Are new comics coming Thursday because of Veterans' Day?

    Edit: Oh holy crap, how did I miss this? S.W.O.R.D. #1 comes out this week! Abigail Brand is the second best thing to come out of Joss's run on Astonishing (the best being Armor).

    Whilst I'm on entirely the wrong side of the Atlantic to have a hope of getting it before the trade, the Wall-E series actually has me really excited, as does Supergod. Although I'm reasonably sure a Supergod movie done by Pixar isn't going to be happening aaaaany time soon... #avengers

    Is Authority a lot like Planetary? I hear them get suggested at the same time and I thought vol 1 of Planetary was dull dull dull.

    @edosan: Authority is a lot more action based, but it's still a highly intelligent take on the genre. I'd recommend giving it a go personally.

    I freaking loooove King City! And have been crossing every appendage on my body hoping for a volume 2. I think he's got enough material out there that it's not unreasonable to expect, right?

    Another title I was pissed never made it to volume 2 was Last Call by Vasilis Lolos. Damn.

    Re: Jack Harkness.
    1. One of his wives, Lucia Moretti, died of old age; another, Estelle Cole, was killed by fairies.
    2. Jack's daughter, Alice Carter, appears to be the same age that he is, but remember, he’s 2000+ years old when we meet her.

    The Immortal from Robert Kirkman's Invincible series.

    Det. Christian Walker (and a few others) from Bendis's Powers.

    DC's Immortal Man.

    All three started out as cave men...but only one was also Abraham Lincoln!

    Just recently read "Forever" which was rather interesting, if not very similar in some ways to Highlander, though much better researched. But in any case the main character is a young Irishman witnessing the entire history of Manhattan. It's also often rather violent which it's soft glow book cover betrays.

    Oh, and if we're talking comic books, there's also the entire cast of Fables. Not only are they eternally youthful, but depending on how popular their stories are, some can even survive a point-blank gunshot wound to the head.

    You missed a couple of obvious ones:

    First up: Mr. Immortal from the GLA (who basically has the exact same powers as Captain Jack, except dies even more frequently and painfully)

    Second: The Immortal (from the 1970 TV Series). Hunted by a dying billionaire who wants to use his miraculous Type-O super-blood, Ben Richards travels from town to town, always one step ahead of his pursuers, just like his buddies The Fugitive and The Incredible Hulk. Ironically, Richard's blood grants him super-immunity to diseases and renders him ageless, but it doesn't make him indestructable.

    Wolverine over Superman? Are you kidding. Superman has been seen either aged in the 31st Century (Kingdom Come), ageless in the 853rd Century (DC One Million) and in an issue of the Flash is around to watch the sun die. Wolverine has nothing on the big, blue, boy scout for longevity.
