There's three nice things about this comic. First, Wes and Dian go on a date. It's a moderately successful one from the sound of things, and Dian's desire to simply sit and chat the night away is, as anyone whose had such a desire knows, a very good sign. Second, the boxer featured in this issue is set up to become an underground fighter, and seems to be taking that option at one point in the comic, but then is revealed to have gone to the police. We're programmed to expect deceit, I think. The third thing is Matt Wagner's "On the Ledge" column in which he sets out exactly what he hopes to achieve with the series. Quoth the scribe "...the focus of this series will be on crimes and attitudes spawned by hate -- by prejudicial animosity towards what a person is as opposed to what they have either done or what they own. Be they based on gender, ethnic backgrounds or age, these are the crimes that, I feel, might show us how to redefine our ever-changing world..."
I can get behind that.
More to come...
