Because sometimes folks ask; my profile pic is from Dynamite's WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT #12, in which I drew Brennan Wagner and myself as cops getting our lights smashed in, as well as Matt Wagner as a wanted crook, "Beowulf Blake" (which I thought was really clever at the time)
Tom King and Greg Smallwood's THE HUMAN TARGET continues to be a ridiculously cool comic book - but not so cool as to make a fuss. Which makes it cooler.
This issue is really sexy in a very smooth, subdued way. It's also first time I can think of where Ted Kord - swell guy, of course, genuine hero - feels credibly like a billionaire. Humble and generous, but with this subconscious pushiness you aren't really allowed to say no to.
Hard to actually be a man of the people when, you know, you aren't. You're just doing your best impression. Which gives him perfect chemistry with Christopher Chance: literal everyman. An observer impressionist to Ted's projector.
A conversation this morning made me revisit this short thread I did about how we view creative credit as regards long-running corporate IP characters, which turns over some ideas I'd say I still stand behind: https://t.co/98cBU0nOGd
