Need to foil a megalomaniacal supervillain? Call Spider-Man.

Need to stop an evil mutant out to enslave the human race? Get hold of the X-Men.

Need to put out a raging fire or put down a crack-adled gunman holding hostages?

That's a job for real heroes.

Marvel Comics is betting there is plenty of room in the post-Sept. 11 superhero world for inspiring stories about New York's firefighters, police officers and EMS workers.

The comics' publisher will release "The Call of Duty: The Brotherhood," focusing on FDNY firefighters. It is the first of three six-issue miniseries that will focus on real-life New York City heroes.

"There's a real fever to see these kinds of people and heroes immortalized in our type of storytelling," said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor in chief.

Quesada and his staff are trying to keep the story lines secret. However, "The Brotherhood" closely follows the exploits of several fictional firefighters as they respond to emergencies, both big and small, around the city.

But because the stories take place in superhero land, there are hints of the supernatural.

For example, "The Brotherhood" opens in the middle of a raging townhouse fire. One of the firefighters notices a little girl in the midst of the flames but mysteriously unaffected by them. When the firefighter tries to rescue her, she disappears.

Veteran comics writer Chuck Austen, 40, of California, wrote "The Brotherhood" script. He did extensive research on FDNY procedures and lore and spent time with Engine 228 in Brooklyn and one of its officers, Lt. Richard Smith, the father of a Marvel Comics editor.

From his association with Lt. Smith and his men, Austen got a clear sense of just how tight-knit a community firefighters have.

For his part, Smith, a 24-year veteran of the department, has no fear in the way Marvel might be potraying firefighters.

"The way they're treating [the subject] and the recognition they're giving the firefighters in New York City, I think it celebrates [the profession]," Smith said

They saved Manhattan from certain doom...but will they be able to save themselves? The saga of Marvel's everyday heroes continues in THE CALL. As they become something more than human, the fight begins to retain their humanity.

In the wake of the events of September 11, 2001, Marvel began publishing comic book series that focus on the everyday heroes who look out for the rest of us: paramedics, police officers, firemen, and their like. The Call of Duty: The Wagon tells the story Jennifer Montez—a beautiful, happily married young woman who dutifully performs the tasks of her job as an emergency medical service (EMS) worker and fends off the advances of her male co-workers. The strength of the series is its realism, from the dialogue—loaded with the dark humor that must help EMS workers deal with the grisly sights they see—to the interaction of the emergency technicians with the cops and the firemen.

A supernatural element is introduced into the story when Jen encounters the same little girl policeman Frank Gunzer has seen in the pages of The Call of Duty: The Precinct and fireman James MacDonald has seen in The Call of Duty: The Brotherhood. Jen is mystified by her and by the warning she delivers about something horrible happening, like what happened at “the Knox Building and the twin buildings.” This aspect of the story is truly effective, truly frightening. Will New York’s everyday heroes solve the mystery and prevent a disaster that may rival 9-11? The answer’s to be found in these excellent series from Marvel.

Synopsis:
Comic book universes are populated by colorful characters that possess fantastic powers.

But on September 11th, 2001, an untold number of real men and women amazed the world with their phenomenal acts of bravery.

When others ran away, they charged forward. When others reached out for safety, they offered a helping hand. When others cried out, they responded with a soothing voice.

And, tragically, many of them died... but in doing so taught us all how to live. They can't stick to walls. They can't summon thunder. They can't fly. They're just HEROES.


This is Marvel's tribute to the heroes of the attack on the World Trade Center.
Creators featured in Heroes include Joe Madureira, Bob Layton, Jae Lee, John Cassaday, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Todd McFarlane, Joe Kubert, George Perez, Joe Quesada, and a number of other leading comics creators.

He's fresh out of the training academy and has been newly assigned to Medaka-Ga-Hama fire station.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE COMIC BOOK #1!

Introduction by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. "I think we all now realise that we do not have to read fiction to find examples of heroism. The real heroes in American life have been with us all along. Our firefighters, police officers and other rescue workers put their lives on the line every day to protect the rest of us from danger."

A spcial issue of a comic book saluting the HEROES of September 11th! The story of New York's finest heroes begins in this issue.
A Moment of Silence, inspired by true stories, included four wordless stories offering different points of view. All four segments are inspired by true stories and written by Kevin Smith, Quesada, Bill Jemas, and Brian Michael Bendis. The art will be handled by John Romita Jr., Mark Bagley, Chuck Austin, and Igor Kordey (CABLE). Proceeds from the book will go to the families of victims who were working in the Trade Center towers on the day of the attack. Quesada also provides the cover art, which will be painted by Alex Ross.

There is an expression that says ’pictures speak a thousand words.’ Comic books rely on pictures to help convey a story, dialogue and emotion. Words are used, but sometimes, pictures have to carry the weight.

On Sept. 11, 2001, many people were left speechless as they watched the violent images broadcasted on television. The next day, newspapers captured still images of the events that displayed just as much emotion and horror. As the focus turns to that day’s heroes, there are new pictures to display the emotion and support of a nation.

Four separate silent stories running eight pages each. Basically, they are pantamines focusing on the artwork and the beauty of the artwork and show that comics can tell stories in so many different ways.

This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.

'A Moment of Truth'
Writer: Bill Jemas
Art: Mark Bagley

The story is about an individual named Tony Savas, a family man, who works as a building inspector in one of the two towers. The story starts off just as any other day, with him going to work, never expecting how things will change for him soon.

Tony helps the other fire-fighters find where people are located and helps bring them to safety. He stops to make a call to his son and remains strong for him. The story ends when Tony is in the lobbey and has a choice of going to safety or going back in to the tower to help the fire-fighters look for more people. He chooses the latter...

'Tony's body was found on September 30th along with several fire-fighters'; the story ends on this note.


'Moment of Silence: A True Story'
Writer: Brian Micheal Bendis
Art: Scott Morse

A Cleveland firefighter describes his harrowing trip to NYC the weekend after the attacks to help at Ground Zero. He describes how he feels helpless watching the attacks on 9-11 and not being able to do anything about it. He also feels as if he (being a Cleveland firefighter) can't measure up to his NYC counterparts. The following weekend, as he and a couple friends walk through the empty dusty streets leading to the wreckage, we see the torment in the individual faces and how weary everyone is. We also see how everyone is working together, however. When one of the construction workers yells out "Quiet!", the site becomes silent. Every machine is turned off, and every man is still, as they try to listen for any survivors. However, as time passes they realize it's just another false alarm. One of many.

The story ends with the firefighter in his chair, telling the reader how the example of the FDNY has elevated the job for firefighters everywhere. He just wanted to do something, he says. Anything. Even if it was just moving a few pieces of wreckage. He quotes HBO's 'Band of Brothers': "We weren't afraid to die, we were afraid of not doing well, or letting our brothers down."


'Sick Day'
Writer: Joe Quasada
Art: Igor Kordey

'Sick Day' is about a firefighter who is called in to duty on his off-day... which just happens to be September 11th, 2001. His eldest son is especially disappointed because he wanted to play soccor with his dad the next day. Before he leaves that morning, he kisses the foreheads of all his children. His eldest son who admires him alot, gives him the thumbs up before he leaves for the day. For several days as the rest of the family watches the aftermath develope on TV and mourn, the boy just sits outside still gripping on to his soccor ball. His mother attempts to comfort him, but he spurns her affection by turning away from her.

Around a week has passed, and the mother decides to take her two older children to the Ground Zero site. The older boy holds on to his soccor ball even as he leaves the train station. As soon as they emerge from the station the devastation is clear. Kordey gives a very harrowing depiction of the wreckage in one splash page. It truly looks like a war-zone. If this were a normal comic book about fictional events, it would still seem epic. But this isn't a normal comic book.. it's hard to grasp that all the wreckage is real.

The boy's face is solemn as rage slowly builds up inside of him. Tears suddenly wells in his eyes, and he collapses and grips his face as he's overcome with grief.The family hugs and leaves the site. The boy leaves the soccor ball behind...

'Periphery'
Writer: Kevin Smith
Art: John Romita Jr

The family awakens at this particular surburban home on 9/11. They squabble alot and they fight over trivial details, that in a little while will no longer seem significant at all. The dad is late for work at his job in the World Trade Center. The family scrambles to get ready and the morning routine (and the family) looks like a mess as they yell at each other other small things. As the kids are dropped off at school, one of the girl's school-mates points to the World Trade Center in the distance. One of the towers are on fire.

The girl quickly gets back in the car and the mother drives them home.

She is on the phone trying to get in touch with her husband and fearing the worst as she watches the second plane crash in to the other tower live on TV.

As she breaks down, the father walks in through the door behind her.

The entire family turns and runs to him.

They hug each other as their grief unites them and they forget about all the meaningless things which they had been fighting over earlier.
