anthology miniseries featuring stories about peace.
With perhaps a slight degree of optimism, the back cover describes the series like this: "On April 11, 2003 grief turns to hope and resolve when Marvel and its international creative community pay tribute to the world's least-heralded heroes: peacemakers. The 411 anthology tells true and fictional stories of people choosing to fight aggression with information and nonviolent resistance."
411 is about peacemakers: people who make sacrifices in the name of humanity. These are people willing to die to keep all of us on all sides alive, writes Bill Jemas, President and COO of Marvel Enterprises. Marvel sought out contributors from different countries and diverse backgrounds to present what Jemas describes as a tribute to peacemakers, to people who turn the other cheek in the face of violence people who refuse to lose sight of the fact that their enemies are part of their own community.

The lives of a Baha’i boy named Hassan and a Palestinian boy named Nazir intersect with deadly results.

There are no super-heroes in this three-issue limited series, just everyday heroes playing their parts in a post-9/11 world. The hype for 411 – which grew out of an e-mail exchange between Joe Quesada (Daredevil) and Mark Millar (The Ultimates) – indicated that the series celebrates peacekeepers, those who stand up for peace in spite of the odds against them. There are some great stories here, given life by beautiful artwork.
