Into The Dark World Of Jonah Hex!

 

 

In Ashecott, tales of Jonah Hex’s gunslinging past are known by few and believed by even fewer—save for Charlie, a young stable hand who admires the once mighty bounty hunter. No stories at all are known about the mysterious preacher who has ridden into town, nor any tales of the strange followers he’s amassing by the minute, and least of all their connection to the young girl who’s vanished into the night. Hex, however, is about to join their story—and in doing so, add a final chapter to his legend.

Visiting America: 19 Days in an I.C.E. Facility Preview

 

Between 2011 and 2017, my wife and I visited England five times. While exploring different regions of the country, we also traveled to sites where our favorite British TV shows were filmed, and places that inspired British authors. Along the way, there were plenty of discoveries. And as I navigated a dark period of my life, these trips helped me embrace a better future. 

What would a British citizen discover when she visited the United States in 2025? And would her experiences provide the same sense of rejuvenation I found in my visits to her homeland?

Visiting America: 19 Days in an I.C.E. Facility Preview

Publisher: Fantagraphics

Book Description: Paperback, 280 Pages, 8.2” x 10.6”

A Shocking Graphic Memoir

by R.E. Burke

 

 

While on vacation in the Pacific Northwest, a 28-year-old British cartoonist was shackled and detained in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) facility for 19 days. As her family mounted a campaign to free her, R.E. Burke documented the lives of the ordinary, innocent women she found herself incarcerated with and their attempts to survive the immoral violation of their legal and human rights.

 

In this work of graphic memoir and journalism, British cartoonist R. E. Burke tells the story of how, in February 2025, as she was attempting to cross the border into Canada from Washington State, an innocent technicality led to hours of terrifying interrogation and unjust detainment in an I.C.E. facility (run by the for-profit GEO corporation) for 19 days.

 

In vivid color and startling detail, Visiting America immerses readers in her experiences: her fear, despair, disorientation, and her fellow detainees’ attempts to help her acclimate. Burke documents in comic form the difficulty of navigating a haphazard, callous bureaucracy rife with misinformation, stonewalling, and threats. As her mental and physical conditions worsen, despite the best efforts of the women to take care of each other, a campaign to free her mounted by friends and family garners international support.

 

Visiting America is not only her own story, but the stories of the strength, spirit, and humor of the other women — mothers, daughters, workers, innocent people fleeing war, genocide, and abuse — whose situations are even more precarious and desperate. They are trapped in a cruel, horrifying, and rapidly worsening system with no safe place to return to. Burke’s memoir includes an epilogue with updates about some of the women she was detained with.

 

Visiting America is potent evidence for the graphic memoir’s power to share our most vulnerable stories. Burke’s pages demand the reader’s attention, and her story demands a nation to take action.

Absolute Wonder Woman #25 Review

Letterer: Becca Carey

Editors: Ash Padilla & Chris Conroy

Cover Artists: Hayden Sherman & Jordie Bellaire; Mark Brooks; Babs Tarr; Bryan Hitch & Brad Anderson; Alexander Lozano

Growing up on the Wild Isle, Artemis taught Diana to keep a level head and never let an opponent shake her. But when the Gods of Fear arrived in Gateway City, Diana's concern for Barbara Ann Minerva got the better of her. Diana knows that people like Veronica Cale will use whatever she does as an excuse to attack her. But Phobos and Deimos know how to hurt Diana more effectively than the government's greatest military leaders.

 

Can the twin sons of Ares and Aphrodite turn Barbara against Diana? And has the god Urzkartaga kept his word that Barbara would control their partnership? Let’s leap into Absolute Wonder Woman #25 and see!

 

Story

As Diana works in the Hieron, Steve Trevor worries. When she emerges from her incantations, Diana brings her fear antidote. She doesn't know what she will find when she visits the Natural History Museum. But after tangling with Phobos and Deimos, Diana must not let her emotions triumph over her reason.

 

While Diana prepares to confront the friend she abandoned, Etta Candy returns to Gotham in Absolute Wonder Woman #25. When Gia greets her at the airstrip, her sister brings along some new friends. After suffering through the Suicide Squad’s attack, Gia is glad her sister didn’t have to endure their latest ordeal. As they ride back, Etta learns that the city is suffering because Diana acceded to Steven’s wishes.

 

While checking in with the Candy sisters and Veronica Cale, Kelly Thompson’s story intertwines Diana’s ordeal at the Natural History Museum with Steve's in the Hieron. Yet it also shows how Diana dealt with the trauma of being forced to abandon Barbara.

 

During her stay in the Underworld, Diana took measures to ascertain how Barbara was coping with her incarceration in Area 41X. Now, the Princess of Hell deploys them on Barbara’s behalf to save her friend from the choices she has made. Still, every victory comes at a price. In the Underworld, Circe has suffered for her daughter's triumphs. And on Earth, Barbara Ann Minerva isn't the only person who may pay a price for loving Diana in Absolute Wonder Woman #25.

 

Art

As Diana kneels on a rock, fire rises from a Greek pot to lick at her fingers. The glowing vessel rests in the river that sustains Petra's life. When she returns carrying the black-figure pot, Steve, Ferdinand, and the siren frame Diana as she enters through an oval doorway. As she pours out her potion, the bulb-shaped vials evoke the hologrammatic display. Yet when Diana drinks her potion, a close-up evokes feline eyes.

 

Outside Gateway City, stars shine in an obsidian sky. Yet the green light inside Gia’s car links with the green in the Heiron. Two characters make battle plans amid gray. After descending through the blue sky over Gateway City, Diana walks amid the blue ruins of the collection Barbara curated.

 

As Diana carries a pink lasso, the same smoky pink that fills the air over the Hieron and the Underworld also colors Cheetah's hide. Hayden Sherman uses double-page layouts to portray Barbara's confrontations with the gods and Diana, and Etta's reunion with her sister. Yet yellowish green shines on the splash pages as Jordie Bellaire heralds the gods’ increasing interactions with Diana’s friends in Absolute Wonder Woman #25.

 

Becca Carey uses white block letters to differentiate time and place. Uppercase black letters fill white dialogue balloons. Diana’s thoughts inhabit white narrative boxes with WW in the top-left corner. While gods speak white letters in colored shapes, white letters in black fields link a god with their creations. As Barbara speaks small black letters into edgy white balloons with orange borders, letters shrink for lowered voices and grow bold for intonation. Yet letters swell in spiky balloons, and tails become lightning bolts when "Cheetah" doesn't like what she hears. After the gods clash, tapping and distant explosions threaten a former Air Force Colonel's resolve to sit on the sidelines. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

After Apollo brought Diana to the Wild Isle, Circe guided the child to adulthood. In addition to Circe’s lessons in magic, the gods also taught Diana how to employ the power wisely. Her friend, Barbara Ann Minerva, has studied Diana’s history, mythology, and culture. After the archeologist's Win-Win bargain with Urzkartaga, Diana discovers how divine power has transformed Barbara in Absolute Wonder Woman #25.

Cover A: Micah Ulrich

 

When little Durgavati ran away, her father searched until he found her. He wept his girl into his arms and felt her burning skin amid the pouring rain. Her story of hunting and fighting with a lion seemed like a fever dream. Yet blood trickled from slashes in her shoulder.

 

Now, an adventuring Puritan arrives at Rani Durgavati's palace. He brings with him an aging scholar, a swashbuckling female companion, and a lion who seems to know her. Rani Durgavati is the Warrior Queen of Gondwana. She faces the greatest battle of her life. Yet as she clutches the scars on her arm, she wonders if this strange event heralds victory or doom for her country.

 

Why has the lion led Solomon Kane, Abramo Bensaid, and his daughter Diamanta to Rani Durgavati’s door? And can they help her defend Gondwana against the forces of the Mughal Empire?
