Oh, yes, it’s time once again for something crazy like this. Brace yourselves! You might want to get a glass of water and some provisions before you start reading. It’s a long one, in case you can’t guess.

Today I’m going to talk about two entirely disparate comic books. Mostly I want to recommend this lovely new book Level Up, by Gene Yang and Thien Pham, but before I get to that, here is something interesting.
Committed: 10 Tips for a Superheroic Life
Superhero comic books have provided me with some incredible lessons in life. Superheroes can be selfless, generous, helpful and resourceful individuals. They are flawed, just like the rest of us, but despite (and sometimes because of) those flaws, superheroes still manage to do good.

Everyone take a deep breath. Here we go!
True Grit and SUPER Grit
Imagine if this was the team-up in World’s Finest Comics… Nick Perks did this extra piece for inclusion in the December Art Gallery, but I just couldn’t help but use it on its own here. Check out Nick’s website here. Here is an alternate version of the above John Wayne and Superman piece.

This week I want to give you the rundown on the crazy day-to-day experience of the convention, and a of the few odd events which made the days [...]

Writers are asked to not only write compelling storylines, but also honor the existing character of the heroes depicted, have them speak with their own voice and language, and behave as people expect them to.
