Stephanie’s posted a step by step process of making her cover for the new issue of WicDiv. There’s a bunch more of that sort of process on her site too, if you want to look.

Batman by Farel Dalrymple.

Descender / Jeff Lemire, Dustin Nguyen

La Galaxie se remet péniblement du traumatisme causé par l'apparition, il y a dix ans, des Récolteurs, des robots de la taille d'une planète qui préfigurèrent la révolte des machines contre les Hommes. C'est dans cet univers en pleine reconstruction, qui a depuis appris à haïr le genre mécanique, que s'éveille Tim-21. Sans le savoir, le petit droïde cache dans ses circuits imprimés l'héritage et es véritables intentions des Récolteurs. Un secret dont tous les gouvernements de la galaxie rêveraient de s'emparer.

Diary of a Day

Day 1 

I know in the past there were superhero comics. The standard flair where they would tell you the grand tale of some hero who could punch through walls or see through iron doors or maybe even talk to a stingray or two, but when was the last time there was the memoir of a superhero. I guess honestly it sounds kind of lame if someone writes a memoir and calls themselves a superhero because honestly, who cares if you can jump higher than everyone else unless you’re going to the olympics, and I would never do that.

Diary of a Day

Day 4

Someone asked me today, “What are you?”. For a minute I was super confused and thought, “ummm....hungry???”, before realizing they were trying to find out why my eyes are a different color from everyone else’s. I guess I should have been used to it at this point, but it still comes as a surprise, like honestly when was the last time you looked at your own eyes?

Diary of a Day

Day 255

Does everyone have that moment at some point in their life? Where they feel like they are remarkable and they can do anything but then for the first time, something makes them doubt that fact? The other day I was sure I could one day jump high enough that I could at least boop an airliner with my pinky finger, but when I told someone that they just said, “Who cares????”. Is that not a remarkable thing to do? At one point does it matter if you’re impressive or not, what do I have to do to be finally considered “super”?

In 1972 NASA launched the “Jupiter Plaque”, an engraved tablet depicting life on Earth and our location in the cosmos, for any intelligent life that may come across it.

The Los Angles Times asked several prominent artists to draw what they would have put on the plaque and why. To the surprise of everyone, Kirby the futurist and visionary drew two superbeings, a man and a woman, that would scare away potential conquerors. Suggesting to intelligent life that everyone on Earth are Supermen. This was his explanation:

“I see no wisdom in the eagerness to be found and approached by any intelligence with the ability to accomplish it from any sector of space. In the meetings between ‘discoverers’ and ‘discoverees’, history has always given the advantage to the finders. In the case of the Jupiter Plaque, I feel that a tremendous issue was thoughtlessly taken out of the world forum by a few individuals who have marked a clear trail to our door. My point is who will come-a-knocking, the trader or the tiger?”
