Water Baby

Author

Ross Campbell

Hmm. The weird thing about Sophia Campbell is that she's totally white and her main characters always seem to be vaguely asian-looking, black punk rock girls. While I definitely like seeing some strong black female characters in comics, she does draw them in a ludicrously sexualized way. They all have...

Curses! Foiled Again

Author	Jane Yolen
ISBN	1596436190

I enjoy this series. Sadly, Jane said in a fan question that First Second did not want to do another book, so Jane is not going to finish this series.

In other words:...

The New York Four

Author	Brian Wood
ISBN	1401211542

For the sake of a second star, I'm going to assume that New York Four was intended to be a multi-volume series, and that the characters were left hanging because DC Comics' Minx line closed, and not because the author and artist intended them to be stuck in plotline limbo forever. This was a short graphic...
