A couple of comics notes

[dewline]

But nt about books I've had any hand in.

First, Captain Britain and MI-13 # 4. For that last page alone...to Paul Cornell and Leonard Kirk: thank you.

The bigots will go nuts over that page alone. And it'll be worth it.

For Final Crisis: Revelations # 1. To ruckawriter and Philip Tan: thank you. I can't quite make sense of it all yet...but I'll give it time.

Faiza seems to be treated very differently to fellow Muslim superhero Dust, who's basically all about after-school special, challenging of stereotypes, why don't you learn the name of that thing she wears on her face to show you respect her, nonsense.

It's refreshing, a normal*, not-foreign girl who happens to be Muslim.


*well you know, a normal, alien-fighting, superhero, not-foreign girl.

I think we also need to introduce some people to The Border (http://cbc.ca/theborder/)'s resident ex-RCMP languages and chop-busting specialist, Sgt. Layla Hourani, as portrayed by Nazneen Contractor. Including yourself.

I think you'd like her.
