Godshaper #6 [finale]

[laughing_tree]

The gods here are sort of fuzzy stand-ins for anything that makes life easy. Whether social construct or practical tool. So money, power, technology, etc. The fun shit happens when that system goes wrong. When inherited power doesn’t work, or when people express their capital in a seemingly amoral way. But, y’know, fuck that. I can come up with these bonkers alternaworld economies all day long and never stop enjoying myself, but the trick to a good story is to shove all that stuff into the background and focus down on interesting and vulnerable characters who have to navigate this weird world all on their lonesome. -- Si Spurrier

One of the more bittersweet things for me with Bendis leaving Marvel for DC was his farewell to Jessica Jones. Fortunately he's doing a new series with Michael Gaydos at DC and it looks pretty good. Here's a new cover which has a better look at who the main character is.

Seaguy #3

[history79]

"As the story progressed and took on a life of its own, it soon became clear that it was really about the 'big brothering' of society, omnipresent surveillance and global disinformation. It’s about the dumbing down of culture, the creation of capitalist 'comfort zones' in the midst of social decay, about a world tranquillized and satisfied and quite unaware of the dark glue that holds it all together.

…and talking tuna fish."
