This is the same weird thing that leads to the Goofy-Pluto “problem.” It’s not actually a problem because Goofy’s not actually a dog. Donald isn’t a duck. Mickey isn’t a mouse. They are humans who are caricatured as dogs, ducks, mice. Carl Barks and Don Rosa would 100% back me up on this.

edit: Pluto is a dog

Or how do tables work at Redwall? The animals are closer to the same size than they are in real life, but a badger is still like three or four times the height of a shrew. So how does it work when they all sit down at the same table?

The answer is don't worry about it

I used to read it with my son, he thought it was amazing. I did think the issue where they discuss freewill in robots might've been slow for him, it was really well done but he was 7 and all about the robot fisticuffs, but he liked it and he kept bringing it up for days.

Two issues of the Wonder Woman story arc where she lost her powers and became a kung fu spy were written by Samuel Delany. As far as I can tell, they were the only superhero comics he ever wrote.

Yeah, it's kind of a shame it got derailed, and one of the issues was wrapping up a Denny O'Neil story. His second and last issue is interesting, involving a Diana who's not just powerless but homeless joining a radical womens' group and fighting against exploitative labor practices. There's a marvelous bit in it which remains pretty stinging in the context of WW's publication history, where a corrupt and sexist business-owner tries to co-opt Diana as a faux-feminist figurehead, and you know, she tells him where he can put his proposal. IIRC his projected plan for the whole run would have culminated in WW defending an abortion clinic from bad-guys-- very much in line with the socially conscious wing of DC at the time but also much more, and much more Delany-- I can see a lot of the issues he writes about so movingly in Times Square Red/Times Square Blue incubating in his ideas for WW.

It has a pretty good cliff-hanger, too-- Diana and her new friends go storm the guy's department store, rescue their captive friend, and put him away, then at the end a bunch of other women confront her about having lost their jobs thanks to her. It's super dense and twisty and fun-- it reminds me a lot of G. Willow Wilson's early Ms. Marvel arcs.

It's super dense and twisty and fun-- it reminds me a lot of G. Willow Wilson's early Ms. Marvel arcs.

It's the only issue in the entire run that feels like it has a clear idea of what the gently caress it's doing. I actually kinda like the kung fu spy Wonder Woman, but it's real bad. Wonder Woman wears mod clothes and has a new love interest every issue, and that was the extent of their ideas. It's mostly modern day crook and spy stuff but every now and then she'll get pulled into a fantasy world and have a barbarian battle. That's the only real fantasy or sci-fi aspect of the run, Wonder Woman visits three or four different barbarian worlds and has barbarian battles there. Also Wonder Woman does yoga, which at the time people thought was magic. It's a plot point that Wonder Woman does yoga therefore she can go several days without eating or drinking.

I wish they had let Delaney write it for a while longer but It's kind of amazing they let the series stagger around for as long as they did. And the final issue is a hilariously clean break. They kill her sidekick, put her back on Themyscira, erase her memory of the whole thing, and immediately jump into a new storyline about Wonder Woman's secret black sister, Nubia.

So it looks like the Dark Horse comics series Usagi Yojimbo has been cancelled, with the last volume of the long running series being printed this year...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/arts/design/usagi-yojimbo-new-publisher.html

...Because IDW are picking it up and printing an all new, all colour series mother fuckers. They're gonna reprint that old poo poo* in colour too, which gives those of us** who have all the series already taking up too much room an excuse to buy it all again.

*Usagi Yojimbo is the greatest and most consistently awesome comic book series ever released onto an unworthy public and if you don't already read it you should get on that.

Weirdly, in Amazing Spider-Man #1, half the pages spell it Spiderman and the other half use Spider-Man. I suspect the change resulted from word balloons where they often had to break the name up onto two lines which happens all the time AF15 and ASM1.
