The Wild Storm #16

[laughing_tree]

When Jim Lee launched WildStorm, the look was best-in-class for commercial superhero comics -- computer-assisted color, pinsharp printing, great paper. We can't replicate that and, frankly, I can't think of a technological way to top it. So let's try something else. Stripped down, stark and authentic. Strongly typographic logos. -- Warren Ellis

Tom Strong #7 - "Sons and Heirs"

[laughing_tree]

We started getting all these letters in saying how brave I'd been, and I thought, "What, knocking off Doc Savage? That's brave?" Then I realized that it was because we had presented Tom Strong and his marriage to a black woman. They have a mixed race child. Which I genuinely hadn't thought about! I mean, Tom Strong came out in the year 2000. That was the first mixed race marriage and almost the first mixed race relationship, certainly the first long-term mixed race relationship, that had ever appeared in an American comic book. In the year 2000. That's extraordinary. So, all right, it may not have had many adult themes, but at least on that instance, in terms of mixed racial awareness, I would say that it was probably being a bit more adult than most of the other comics that were being published around that time. -- Alan Moore

She Could Fly #4

[stubbleupdate]

"What an emotionally affecting issue this was"
"This is a book that genuinely made me have feelings, constantly, consistently throughout it."
[Morazzo] pulls it off in a way that isn't exploitative, but is confronting."
"It's such a special comic and I'm so, so thrilled that we're getting more"
"This absolutely puts Karen Berger's imprint on the map in a big way"
Andrew Levins and Siobhan Coombs - Serious Issues Episode 135


Previously on She Could Fly -
#1 we learned about Luna's obsession with the flying woman, that Luna has horrible intrusive thoughts, and that the flying woman exploded
#2 we saw Luna struggling with, but still beating her intrusive thoughts, finding out the name of the flying woman and where she worked, and talking to one of the flying woman's co workers. Then at the end, Luna's story and the story of the physicist who was working on the same project as the flying woman crossed over with them all in Luna's basement.
#3Luna found the diary of the Flying Woman, Luna revealed her problem to Verna her counsellor confronted the Physicist and Verna, the physicist was kidnapped by one set of government goons and the baddies got closer to getting the Flying woman's technology. The issue ended with Verna arriving at Luna's kitchen.
