There’s a lot of that biblical stuff in there. I told someone else it was one of my comics where I try to solve God. I have an ongoing relationship with religion in my work, from a very agnostic perspective, but I work a lot of that out on the page. -- Al Ewing

A recent question from one of our members about the suitability of a comic which addresses political matters, which they were considering making a post about has reminded the Mods about what Scans_Daily is for, and it seems salient to mention it aloud.

"All art is political" is a given, and graphic storytelling is no exception. "Political" cartoons in newspapers etc have been a part of media for literally centuries.

Art also reflects the real world, metaphorically or directly, and that can make certain topics extra sensitive one way or the other.

Provided such comics do not promote hate or spread falsehoods without challenge or context, we have no issue with them being posted on S_D and encourage civilised dialogue.

Allowing them to be posted is making a political stance. NOT allowing them to be posted would still be a political stance, just a different one.

Our rules of behaviour apply to all posts. We trust all our members will be able to follow them, and we're here if anyone has any concerns.

Poor J'onn. He has been around almost as long as everybody else, but he could never seem to hold down a solo series.

Any way, this issue is a new retelling of J’onn’s origin story.

It's Steve Rogers just after he came out of the ice.

It's also someone else before that - a new character's origin, grounded like Steve's in real history.

The first page hits the reader with that, a reminder of the passage of time - appropriate when the story involves fresh-from-the-ice Steve.

( The new character's young - and shocked. )

books

"There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, the idea of a boundary. But the idea was real. It was important. For seven generations there had been nothing more important than that wall."

I knew this book was going to hit hard from the opening paragraph above, and it did not disappoint. I've enjoyed Ursula Le Guin's work before--The Left Hand of Darkness is one of my favorite books—and I absolutely see why The Dispossessed is considered one of her crowning pieces. The setting for this book is a planet and its moon—Urras, the planet, is a lush world not dissimilar from Earth, which is home to several capitalist countries and at least one socialist country; and Anarres, the moon, which is a dusty, resource-scanty place home to a society of anarchists who fled from Urras just under two hundred years ago. The core of the novel concerns Shevek, a theoretical physicist from Anarres who chooses to relocate to Urras.

Le Guin captures truly great sci-fi because this work is so imbued with curiosity. Le Guin is asking questions at the heart of any great sci-fi work: What defines humanity? What can we achieve, and how is it done, and what does that mean for society? What is society? What does it mean to be alone? What does it mean to be part of a whole? To me, sci-fi can't be truly sci-fi without a measure of philosophy, and The Dispossessed has this in droves.

While it's had a patchy time of it, Giant Girl Adventures is a webcomic that started way back in 2012. I will admit, the original artist's style was not my cup of tea, but the new regular artist - one Dee Fish - has made it very eye-catching. Why, just look at the cover below!

It's the cover for an upcoming collection, just launched on Kickstarter. That bein' a crowd-funding platform, I figured it might help to try and rile up a little more crowd.
