Why deny the obvious Cathedral Child
Hey, Paul Simon was my Senator from the great state of Illinois, y'know.
No quotes from the review Bookslut: Lea Hernandez's Comics for Girl; just go read. I'll wait here.
Back already? Ok, go check out Warren Ellis' colaboration with Lea. It's called Poppy, and it's good. I think it's better than his story with Colleen Doran, but may just be bitter about that whole A Distant Soil thing.
Back again? Ok, have a look-see at Rumble Girls. As a Modern Tales subscriber, you can add Rumble Girls for a buck a month. And you are a subscriber, yes?
Oh. Then go read Narbonic. The current storyline's been running for a while, so you'll have to hit the archives, but it's worth it.
This has been your comics content for the day.
Update: Well, not all of it. Oni Press has some Killer Princesses Sunday Funnies for your amusement, a collaboration between Lea Hernandez and Gail Simone. Thought they had a free comic, but must'a been thinking of the strips. Well, there's still some Good Stuff in there. And you can always just shell out the cash for the books:
Bust: 36 Waist: 24 Hips: 36 Guns: .44 IQ:. . . Not Good. What happens to the Prom Queen when the prom is over? Meet the girls of the SORORITY; Faith, Hope and Charity, the most popular girls on campus, and the best assassins the world has ever known. When these girls aren't in class they're toppling third world governments, playing enforcer for the mob, and causing millions of dollars worth of property damage. They're not sweet. They're not nice. They don't know state capitals. They barely know what month it is. Too pretty to be ignored, and just smart enough to be dangerous. They're the Killer Princesses and they're back to ruin your life. . . Again!
Er, think I got all four issues. Know I got the first two, at least. Maybe.
Update 11/20: Oh look, an Interview with Lea Hernandez at Bookslut. By Karin. Which I'd managed to miss completely, because I suck.
Could people go back to slapping me upside the head when I have an attack of the stupids? It's for my own good, really, and seems to be the only way I'll ever learn. . .
