I have been doing a lot of reading recently and feel the need to share some observations with you.
Imagine a world where superheroes have been outlawed, with the exception of those who are willing to reveal their identities and work for the government? Those that haven’t are considered outlaws and need to be captured.
This is the world of New Frontier. We have the classic DC Silver Age heroes, before most of them were heroes, learning to control their powers and to act to help the ones they loved.
Heavily influenced by the Watchmen (but what isn’t in modern superhero comics), the beauty of this work is the art, which looks like the art of the 50s and 60s. Also of note is the reimagining of Wonder Woman into a strong female character who is still constrained by the social norms of the time. Her giving the liberated sex slaves the guns and turning them loose on their captors is one of my favourite scenes in comics period.
Can’t wait for the second volume.
