icon_ukThis seems singularly apt. Though not a happy story, and indeed horrifying in more ways than I can articulate, it's a story about courage, and determination in the face of unimaginable opposition.
The piece is called Malala Yousafzai: I have the right. (Those of you familiar with the name will know that this is a story involving violence against a young woman, and bravery beyond measure, for those of you who aren't yet familiar with it, read on...)
Because this is a real person, I'm being cautious with the trigger warnings, and include them for bullying, child abuse, misogyny/sexism and violence towards women.
( Not just BASED on a true story, but an ACTUAL true story )

We know who he was, but what does that mean we should think of who he is now? Especially considering what he went through to get there...
( Spoilers for Bedlam #1, 2, 3 and 5, and warnings for blood and gore and horror and some nudity, and also a really strong warning (seriously, really strong) for animal abuse in this post. )
The capitalization's deliberate, by the way. It's not totally clear, but it seems like the guy's name actually is "The Good Doctor". How... ironic.

My contribution for Crowning Moment of Awesome Week comes from Wisdom #1, by Paul Cornell and Trevor Hairsine.
In which MI:13, including Pete Wisdom, John of the Beatles Skrull Invasion, Captain Midlands, Maureen Raven and Oberon's daughter Tinkabelinos Hardleg, adhere to the Michael Bay definition of awesome and invade Albion with helicopter gunships and rail guns.

Jun. 21st, 2012 09:34 pmmrosaAlejandro Jodorowsky and Milo Manara's Borgia is a violent series about Pope Alexander VI's reign of crime and lust. It's a story full of political back-stabbing, violence and sex. The ingredientes for a great comic book. Here's one of my favourite sequences:

It should be said that Manara is one of the greatest comic book artists of our times. Although he has a preference for porn, he can draw anything he wants - the level of detail in his pencils is always astonishing.

A history of the Amazon's, Perez style...
Apr. 6th, 2012 01:37 amicon_ukFollowing a major comic event, several origins in the DCU were retold, except not just retold, but completely rebooted. Wonder Woman and Superman were starting from scratch, though Batman's history would only be slightly revamped, and Green Lantern's hardly at all.
But it's not 2011, the year was 1987, and in this case, the title was "Wonder Woman".
Trigger warning for misogyny, violence against women and rape (though that latter is not seen, it's so heavily implied as to be worth mentioning)
( Perez art under the cut (What? You need more of a reason?) )
