Comic Pick of the Week for 2/13/08
Maybe its all the animated Justice League I’ve been watching lately, or maybe its just that I rather enjoyed the Green Arrow: Year One comic mini-series a while back. Other factors aside, Green Arrow and Black Canary by Judd Winick (yeah, that cartoonist from MTV’s Real World in San Francisco) and art by Cliff Chiang accomplishes two usually contradictory goals in comics - touching, sincere drama and over-the-top, funny adventure. Though the comic’s never in both modes at once, it does manage to successfully blend the two from moment to moment, sometime issue to issue.
The art is likewise both dynamic and semi-realistic, colorful yet never glaringly so. The art conveys both the drama in its tender, personal moments through emotive facial expressions, and the sometimes ridiculous action and adventure beats with almost uncanny yet definitely comic body positions and scene construction. Oh yeah, and the covers (though not always to be believed) just plain rock!
Even if you don’t know the characters, check this book out! Its certainly given me a gateway into the DC universe and a particular fondness for the Green Arrow, the Black Canary, and their various sidekicks.

Comic Pick of the Week for 2/6/08
Inspired by my favorite weekly comic book podcast iFanboy and totally needing a blog break from the Obama love-fest, here’s what I think is the best book of this week’s releases - Doktor Sleepless #5.
This excellent post-now book is another of writer Warren Ellis’ excellent takes on tomorrow’s tech and how it changes culture. I loved Ellis’ Transmetropolitan, and his blog likewise reflects his interest in cutting edge science and culture. The latest issue finally brings the so-far rather mysterious story to a bit more of an expository moment of clarity. It also ends with a classic tease in a way only Ellis could ever get away with writing. Check it!
