Global Frequency is an excellent comic by Warren Ellis; it gets hardcore, so I don't know if you'd like it, but you're welcome to borrow my copies.

Flaw in story that had me reading no further, though: It's not Miranda Zero who makes the call. Ever, IIRC. It's Aleph. Argh. Fanfic writers should read the source material!

I *heart* merovingian. :)
