I'm not "tearing it down" as you put it.  I am simply
pointing out the fact that the idea is not original.
In fact, it sounds like a direct copy from the films,
although I'm sure JMS will make a LOT more
interesting story of it than the films.

I just wish he would make it into a movie or series.
I'm not into comics, so I probably won't ever see it.

Sorry.  Ain't the case.  Damned was about a colonization effort by aliens,
achieved by getting human female pregnant, and the kids were strictly
telekinetic, and died at about age 7.

There is no alien colonization thing going on in the story, it only affects the
women who are already pregnant, and it follows their whole lives.  You may as
well say that the Three Mile Island story is a Damned story because it charts
the effect of outside forces on pregnant women and their offspring.
