Earlier this week we discussed Starfire’s new series and some changes in her character. The husband-and-wife writing team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner are joined with Harley Quinn and Starfire artist Chad Hardlin to tell Comic Book Resources what they have planned for Harley, Power Girl, and our favorite Tamaranian.

Chapter By Chapter: The Black Stallion’s Ghost ch. 7

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Chapter By Chapter Black Stallion's Ghost

So where were we? Alec and Black are vacationing in Florida before the start of the racing season and they decided to go for a walk in the Everglades. They were drawn to a house that just happens to be the current resident of a circus horse trainer from Europe who is plotting to get Black to mate with his mare Ghost, instead of arranging something because for some reason I’m still not being told about Alec doesn’t want Black to mate? Is he worried Black will be a deadbeat dad? Will we get the answer this chapter? I’m thinking no.

Chapter 7: Images And Omens

Life Of Christ Easter

I think my faith is keeping me from making fun of this cover, too.

Morning Article Link: Writing’s Easy, Drawing’s Hard

Star Power Sentinel

Star Power writer Michael Terracciano explains why the BW-approved webcomic needs an extra week to resume the story by explaining how he has the easy part in writing it, and how he gives artist Garth Graham the hard part drawing it. It’s a nice bit of insight inside the art of making comics.
