Ok, I have a question. I was staying at a friend's house for a weekend this summer and we spent some time reading her brother's comics. Mostly Spideman Ultimate, etcetera. But there was one series... it was in two collections, or maybe three. By a guy who's name even I know, but can't recall. I'm thinking Michael Strawcyzi (or some strange combination of those letters?). Possibly called something like Rising Stars or Falling Stars. It was about a whole lot of superheros, mildly X-Men-ish. Very dark, both in storyline and drawing.

Have you got any idea what I was reading? Can you tell me?

I haven't read that one, but I think this is what you're talking about?

J. Michael Straczynski, Rising Stars : Born In Fire (Vol. 1)
