Has anybody else checked out this 3-issue Marvel Comic series? It's kind of like the 911 tribute they did to honor those that fell in the September 11th attacks. This is an anthology of short stories by various writers and artists celebrating the peacemakers of the world.
Naturally, it's very pertinent with regard to current events, but the stories are supposed to touch on various times and places in history. Only the first issue is out so far, but it was extremely good. It featured a story about the Israel/Palestine conflict, the Catholic/Protestant conflict in Northern Ireland, and the plight of Afghans living in a mine-riddled country today.
For anyone who enjoyed the 911 tribute anthologies, I strongly urge you to check this out. I found these stories to be very moving and inspirational. There is also a very well-written essay by the grandson of Mohandas Gandhi in the beginning of the book.
