Great Warrior is a fantastic comic, and it’s good for all-ages (to my mind, at least – YMMV on the whole demon thing). Trillian Green has dazzled audiences with their raw acoustic psycho-tantric dance music for over ten years. GW’s co-hero, Leo, is a trans woman, and that’s established about her from issue one (when she let’s Hadiyah know that she is listed on the Scroll of Heroes as “Samson the Magnificent” and Hadiyah updates the list). In creating Hadiyah (the long-suffering High Chancellor), Flores took the time to reach out online and find a name that an actual Muslim woman would have. And I don’t want to see it until I have the whole issue in front of me.Īnd there’s another bit of awesomeness to this book! You like diversity and representation in comic books, right? Of course you do! Well, Help Us! Great Warrior has three lead characters, all of whom are women and two of whom are women of color. That’s why I’m not including any of preview pages from this week’s issue – I want you to read the previous three without seeing it. Plus, even if you have a sense of where she’s headed, there’s still a bit of surprise. She builds to it in such a way that feels organic and efficient. 34.90 23 Used from 2.47 7 New from 26.86. Flores isn’t ever heavy-handed, nor does she needlessly convolute the plot to delay the reveal. I know that characters with SECRETS can be a bit of a dice roll in any media. To be clear, my caps here are because I liked the whole thing and I’m excited to see what happens next. Plus, you learn that Great Warrior has a DeepDarkSecret! And at the end of issue three, you get the BIG REVEAL! ![]() The book threatens you with hell dimensions, then takes a moment for GW (and her best friend/co-hero, Leo) to marvel over how smooth the High Chancellor’s hands are. She’s cute, and she stays cute while she CRUSHES ALL WHO WRONG HER. The writing jumps back and forth across that line, too. And in the middle of it, looking unlike anyone but her fellow villagers, is this adorable ball with a giant bow on her head. ![]() Challengers Variant Cover for Bee and Puppycat issue 1, Characters belong to Natasha Allegri. Commission- Neotp characters belong to Sarah and May. There are forests, and crystal caves, and bustling towns. Commission- Tabletop game characters scene. Flores’ establishing shots also reinforce this. There’s a great contrast in the art, because Great Warrior is a bean with limbs going toe-to-toe with giant winged demons with eyes like burning coals. The story stays cute and fun while still managing to effectively raise the stakes and do a lot of world building. From Help Us! Great Warrior #3- Madeleine Flores (W/A), Trillian Gunn (C)įor the Boom!Box mini-series, Flores tells an ongoing story – the whole “demon dimension” thing I mentioned earlier – with a strip from the web run at the end of each issue. ![]()
