>ARC ONE: The Loot House

>Chapter One: The Clouds of a New World

>Over the night skies of the island nation of Corto Maltese, a large sky battle was taking place. One on the ground might have been able to see the flashes in the clouds or hear the thundering boom of engines and sonic booms, but for those on the ground, that's all it was.

>Random sounds and flashes in the clouds.

>Days earlier, The Justice League had received information of a plot being conducted by The Secret Society of Super Villains. It was discovered that Gorilla Grodd had hired Scarecrow, Deathstroke and Posion Ivy for a truly nefarious plot. Grodd had hired Scarecrow to create a more potent Fear Toxin that could be spread by plant spores. With Poison Ivy's plant manipulation powers, they were to spread the spores over the island nation and cause flowers to bloom all over. Once they did, the flowers would spread the toxin and cause the entire human population to kill each other out of paranoia and extreme terror. However they were sure that the Justice League would try to stop them, so in a bid to have their asses saved, Grodd payed Deathstroke a down payment of 15 million dollars for his assistance.

>In the end, Scarecrow would have successfully tested his new Fear Toxin, Poison Ivy would allow plant life to return to it's original state on the island and Grodd would have a new foothold for his new Ape Empire.

>As for Deathstroke, he just wanted a paycheck. Everybody wins.

>Currently, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Red Tornado were in combat over the skies of the island. They were handling four high tech jets stolen from S.T.A.R. Labs that were protecting the cargo plane carrying the spores. Superman used his eye beams on a jet, but it masterfully dodged to left and fired its turrets at Wonder Woman who was in front of her. She flung herself back and with her sword sliced the aircraft in half.

"On the current literary market, says Stanislaw Lem (1984:53), there exists “only one index of quality: the measure of the sales figures of the books”. However, Ugresic (2003:109) emphasizes that literary values cannot be measured by the numbers of sold books because – as Octavio Paz (1993:91)informs us – “the market ... knows all about prices but nothing about values”. Then again, it remains true that nowadays books are being published exclusively for commercial purposes. Furthermore, Ugresic (2003:145) reveals to her readers that to some extent books are even being written, that is, produced in such a way as to be saleable: “The literary market does not tolerate the old-fashioned idea of a work of art as a unique, unrepeatable, deeply individual artistic act. In the literary industry, writers are obedient workers, just a link in the chain of production”. Even the literary works which may still be classified as ‘high literature’ are nonetheless produced with only one eye casually cast at their academic value, and the other one widely and intensely staring at the profit. Not to mention those qualified as ‘low literature’, sometimes called trivial, which in its sense of “banal, commonplace, ordinary, trifling” (Kipfer 2002:633) almost equals vulgar – and that is another proof that Plautus was definitely right when he associated publishing with prostitution, since trivial literature is frequently described as something belonging to ‘the Aesthetics of Vulgarity’

I have my own political and philosophical labels because I take on influence from the best part of all philosophies and political theories I like

What are the prevailing philosophical schools in the 21st century? Nietzscheanism? Wittgensteinianism?

Are there any highly regarded authors who you dislike? There are many members of the canon that I am not keen on at all. Some I dislike are;
