Secretive, methodical, the so-called 'One Percent'

Associated Press — PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Occupy Wall Street went after them and now, too, a mismatched pair of heroes are doing the same.Whereas the so-called One Percent is blamed for having a majority of wealth at the expense of the other 99 percent, in Valiant Comics' upcoming "Archer & Armstrong," it's a secretive and sinister cabal of money managers and financiers willing to sacrifice more than jobs for profit - human lives, too - to steer the fate of the world for their own gain.Archer and Armstrong - an ancient immortal and a home-schooled, combat-trained teenager acting as a fist of God - find themselves at the cabal's mercy deep under Wall Street in ancient crypt where they find out about a plot to stabilize the euro - and boost profits - by destroying Greece.Writer Fred Van Lente said "The One Percent" makes its first appearance in the final page of the first issue of "Armstrong & Archer," which is in comic shops Aug.

Analysis: Katyn touches another Polish generation

Analysis: Katyn touches another Polish generation

Fox News — WARSAW, Poland (AP) - He died en route to the most sensitive mission possible - a visit to the place that has driven a wedge between Poles and Russians for three generations. The death of Lech Kaczynski, Poland's president and dozens of his high-level countrymen in a plane crash, and the purpose behind the journey, laid bare the deep divisions that remain between two nations still struggling to be more than uneasy neighbors who watch each other with skepticism and suspicion. Saturday's planned visit to the Katyn forest was somber in purpose but underscored his suspicious eye of the massive neighbor and former taskmaster to the east.

Crisis in Europe raises 'double-dip' recession worries | The Post and Courier | Charleston SC, Ne...

Post and Courier — BERLIN -- A dark cloud has settled over the world's financial markets, as growing numbers of people are concluding the debt crisis in Europe could hammer global growth -- and even bring back recession barely a year after a patchy recovery took hold. Government officials, whose job it is to boost confidence, downplay that risk, but many economists are warning that a much-feared "double-dip" recession could be starting in Europe. It would be the next ugly chapter in the global financial and economic turmoil that began three years ago.

Tasty Baking Co. to cut 32 jobs at ex-corporate HQ

Yahoo! News — PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Tasty Baking Co., the maker of Tastykakes and other packaged sweets, will cut 32 jobs at its former corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, a move decided upon after it was acquired by Flower Foods Inc. this year, Tasty said Friday. Paul Ridder, who oversees the Philadelphia operation and was a former senior vice present and chief financial officer for Tasty, said the cuts were the result of overlap and redundancies in the company. The jobs will be cut over the next few months. "As is often the case when two publicly traded companies merge, we found overlap and redundancy in office functions," Ridder said in a statement.

DC Comics goes to war with new titles

www.gazette.com — PHILADELPHIA - Sgt. Rock was a gruff, hard-charging Army soldier who fought his way across Africa and Europe during World War II. Blackhawk was an aerial daredevil who led a team of international aviators fighting Axis powers. That was then. Now, the characters have been revitalized and given a modern flair more amenable to readers who've spent the better part of 10 years exposed to real stories about fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's part of DC Comics' relaunch that this month sees 52 new series focusing on familiar - but decidedly different - characters ranging from Superman to Jonah Hex.

That's seriously funny: Comics tackle tough issues

tv.yahoo.com — PHILADELPHIA (AP) - There are wedding bells in Riverdale, but it's not Archie and Betty or Veronica. It's Army Lt. Kevin Keller and the physical therapist who helped him overcome his war wound - Clay Walker. Meanwhile, in the comics pages, Gil is an 8-year-old boy being raised by his divorced factory-working mom, and Dustin is 23 and living at home, unable to find a job after graduating from college. Comics have always been a portal for escapism and fantasy but have also labored to reflect a contemporary climate, a process that shows no signs of slowing whether it involves super villains, breast cancer or other complicated realities of modern life.
