Marvel's Agents of....Darkfire?

Well, the first episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is out, and I cannot help but be struck by how much the plot reminds me of two stories published in 2001 and 2002 respectively.  A man, out of work, trying to keep his family together, whose power is burning himself up.  Hmmmm.

Darkfire

In Justice

Coincidence....or connection?

In fact, if you enjoyed those stories, why not read the award-winning first Golden City story?  You can find a link below:
