Just going through John C. Maxwell's quartet of short booklets, namely "Leadership 101", "Equipping 101", "Attitude 101" and "Relationships 101". The author is visiting Manila this month as part of his lecture tour on Business Leadership, which I'm attending. Venue is PICC. Tickets are available at the Asian Institute of Management, if anyone here is interested, just look up the Yellow Pages and inquire. This isn't an ad, okay?! I've got no connection with the organizers at all. I was just attracted to these booklets because they don't beat around the bush and they just give you important points about the topics. The booklets cost P250 each, hardcover. Not bad at all, IMHO.

Just finished Neil Gaiman's "Murder Mysteries", story of a serial killer who gets visited by an angel and essentially gets absolved. How and why? That's the meat of the book. Great stuff. The story flashes back to the early pre-Creation epoch when God wasn't quite the One we have today. Gaiman is a very effective writer, illustrated or otherwise. That he weaves modern tales out of very delicate and sensitive threads from myth and legend is his genius. He leaves an indelible effect on the reader.

What about matching Marvel superheroes against their counterparts in DC? For example:

 

Quicksilver vs. Flash

SubMariner vs. Aquaman

 

Marami pang iba kaya lang nakalimutan ko na yung mga pangalan nila. Tagal ko na kasi wala sa sirkulasyon eh. When I was a kid, I remember that I even drew a poster in my room with the Marvel characters fighting against the DC heroes and I struggled with the question of who will fight Superman?

 

But I always thought DareDevil's story has a lot of comparisons with those of Batman's. Kaya sila ang pinag-aaway ko.

Quicksilver is no match to the Flash. I don't think that's a fair contest. How about the Flash vs the Silver Surfer?

Hawkeye vs Green Arrow is ok.

Spectre vs The Living Tribunal

Batman vs Wolverine

Superman vs Thor

Green Lantern vs Dr Strange

Dr Fate vs Odin

Lex Luther vs Dr Doom

Wonder Woman vs Sif

Zatanna vs Scarlet Witch

The Sandman vs Eternity

Martian Manhunter vs The Vision
