"We really wanted this comic to be a coming-of-age story in a horrific postapocalyptic setting. Characters were dealing with issues of agency, of trying to transition from being dependent children to making adult decisions about their future, but at the same time, they’re living in this dangerous postapocalyptic world. The best postapocalyptic/zombie stories always have something to say about the human experience." -- Faith Erin Hicks

ATLA : Imbalance Part One

“Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favorite things in the world. I'm totally not kidding: I remember watching the series finale over ten years ago when I was a struggling animator, wishing I could work on a show that was even ten percent as thoughtful and compelling as Avatar. I was so in love with the world and characters,” mused Faith Erin Hicks. “Even now, there's nothing that has filled my heart quite like Avatar, and I'm so honored to contribute to the real thing.”

We rule the school*

Recently, I've become a bit disillusioned with the Wednesday comics-go-round. This is partly down to making some bad comics choices and sticking with them for too long (since remedied after listening to Freakonomics' The Upside of Quitting podcast.) Then there's the way that for $3.99 I can get 20-odd pages of Ultimate X-Men (fine comic though it is) or can get a whole OGN for a few quid more.However, I still want to read comics, I just want to get some more value. And I'm eternally one of those annoying pricks who listens to music that you haven't heard of (like Good Luck or Antarctica Takes it!, so now I'm reading books that you haven't heard off. There's a lot of value to be found in the smaller publishers, like SLG's War at Ellsmere. It's by Faith Erin Hicks who has another book about Zombies. The character art looked very Scott Pilgrim, which put me off a bit at first, but I got into it pretty quickly.

I quite like books about private schools. They help to avoid the bollocks jocks/nerds/cheerleader/prom tropes that you get in every other bloody school story. It helps that I've trying quite hard to get into one (there was one last year where I was this close to getting in. My classroom would have had a fireplace and giant windows and a view of the sea and it would have been AMAZING. But it wasn't to be.

madEr, so it's technically past midnight, but whatever, I am not bound by time! I laugh in the face of time! Or...something. *shifty eyes*
For the theme of superhero deconstruction, I'm posting a few strips from Faith Erin Hicks' The Adventures of Superhero Girl. As Hicks explains here, she originally started it as a kind of commentary on girl superheroes and whatnot, and later on developed it as a weekly comic strip for Halifax newspaper The Coast.
So without further ado, here's Superhero Girl as she addresses some fundamental questions about superhero-y-ness.
( Strips 7-10 under the cut )
It's a fun little comic and worth checking out. You can follow it by watching the The Adventures of Superhero Girl blog.

Wolverine is tired of you eating his eggs
May. 19th, 2010 12:15 pmangelophileFaith Erin Hicks, who was on art duties for Zombies Calling, has got a story in the upcoming issue of Girl Comics. But, apparently, before that story was approved, she drew an 11 page story about the day-to-day trials and tribulations of shared living in the X-men mansion. Which Marvel rejected. Presumably because it's cute, funny, no-one dies and the only angst in it is from Wolverine complaining that someone ate his special Canadian eggs.
Luckily, she's made the whole story available for free on her website: www.faitherinhicks.com/wolverine/index.html
And it is glorious.
