One: I really missed writing Harley Quinn (I had written her first monthly series) and wanted to do more with an energetic, engaging, unpredictable female character. Two: I literally woke up one morning and knew how I’d do Plastic Man, given the chance. Plastic Man’s a thief who gets shot, falls in a vat of acid, gets powers, and wakes up and thinks “I should fight crime.” NO! When he wakes up he should say “I got powers? Great! Now I can get payback on the sonsabitches who left me for dead!” And that’s what Imp does— she goes after her old gang. But from the outside looking in, she’s going after criminals, so the natural assumption is she’s a superhero! -- Karl Kesel

Yes, because nothing is more unpredictable than a character who does exactly what the author predicts someone would do, and nothing is more engaging than the pursuit of vengeance, which is not at all a hollow and wretched obsession that has ruined countless lives. Boy do I find this thrilling.

The triumph of criminality should not be lauded in comic books. We get enough of that in reality.

Looks interesting, but seems hard to acquire. I see this was a Kickstarter in April this year. There's a link for a pre-order on the Kickstarter page, but the pre-order site is down. Oh well

From the October 23rd update on the latest Kickstarter campaign:

If You Know Anyone Who Missed the Campaign…
…I've already set up the IMP/LIGHTNING BackerKit account. BackerKit will be handling the surveys (which is how I get your mailing address, basically), and it is easy for me to add people to that database. So if someone wants to join the fun, just have them reach out to me at:

the.karl.kesel@panicbuttonpress.com

They can PayPal me the amount of the reward level they want, I'll enter the info— and they'll get all their stuff at the same time everyone else does. The only thing they won't get are Updates showing the progress of the book. Which I plan to send out whenever there's something cool (but non-spoiler-y!) to share.

Surveys won't be sent out until we're closer to sending the book to the printer— probably mid-December. That way we'll know exactly what our print runs should be, and we can have your most current address possible.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227066666/impossible-2b-impossible-jones-and-captain-lightning-team-up/posts/3338355

Looks like $17 will get you the entire Impossible Jones story so far.

(Although I perfectly understand if you consider this too many hoops to jump through)

EDIT: I just paypaled $17 and already have the first two digital comics

So so about this but I actually like Even Steven's outfit. Sure its more than likely another Question or Mr A homage but the costume is distinctive.

Hmm. I can see that, with the featureless mask although I read it at first as "Equinox from Batman: The Brave and the Bold joins the Trenchcoat Brigade."

Hmmmmmm

A hot and extremely fuckable woman with elongating limb powers

Is she canonically gay/bi/pan in the book?

If so I think I just found a new fantasy girl

If a menorah has only seven candles, it's not a Hanukkah menorah.

I love the oldtimey vibe on these designs and characters, and yes "Even Stevens" is definitely the most Ditkoesque design I've seen in a while, probably since Miraculous Ladybug gave us the similarly themed Reverser.

I'm really enjoying this series. For me, it hits that exact sweet spot between "retro" and "modern".
