It appears that having created the best TV science fiction ever: Babylon 5
of course, JMS has gone on to create the best comic book ever: Midnight
Nation.

Not a chance...as far as I'm concerned, I'm still learning the form.  Give me a
few more years and we'll see what we will see, but for now...that description
can be far more aptly applied to:

Watchmen
Dark Knight
Moore's Swamp Thing run
Gaiman's Sandman
Most of the Miracleman run
Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"

And, generally, anything by Moore....
