I remember a comic but I can't remember it's name.
Story: a girl moves into her grandfathers/uncles house (in England?), and finds a book about magic which leads her to discover that classical english mythology(fairies, seelie and unseelie courts, cold iron, Shakespeare stuff) are real. I think maybe she gets involved in the politics? Her grandfather turns out to be part of a council of wizards or something who keep the peace between the magic creatures and humans.
Themes: kind of goth but not silly over the top goth.
Characters: the main character was a young (12-15?) girl, with blonde(white in the art style) hair. The grandfather/uncle was tall and thin with similar color, long hair down to his back. There was some type of fawn or satyr creature with them for a bit, who I think was later killed because they broke some fairy law? There was some kind of impish creature which the girl trapped and bound in cold iron chains and put in a kiddy pool filled with some kind of plant, which trapped it. She later offered it food in exchange for a boon. There was some kind of ancient zombie like creature in a pond that had some grudge against a family and killed and ate them.
Art style: black and white, really dark shading, often drawn more with the whitespace. Very sharp angles. The main character was drawn without a nose, but the other characters weren't. The artist drew the characters' fingers pointed instead of actually drawing the fingernails.
If you can tell me what it was called or post an image I would be grateful.
If you have a comic you can't remember the name of post a description here too.
>Toro was retconned into being an Inhuman >Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were retconned into being kids the High Evolutionary implanted with a fake X-Gene >And now Squirrel Girl is, and I quote, "medically and legally distinct from being a mutant"
It seems that Marvel is retconning away every mutant that isn't associated with the X-Men. What do you all think about this and who do you think is next?
For the very first time the ‘banned’ episodes of Judge Dredd from the late 1970s are to be reprinted.
Published in 2000 AD in 1978, The Cursed Earth was the first great Judge Dredd epic, but the story ran into trouble when two episodes – ‘Burger Wars’ and ‘Soul Food’ – featured parodies of Burger King, Ronald McDonald, the Jolly Green Giant, the Michelin Man, and a number of other prominent corporate characters in a raucous and shameless satire of American consumer culture.
After concerns of legal action at the time the then publisher IPC decided all subsequent collections of this classic strip would omit the satirical stories.
Now, following recent changes in UK law governing parody, we’re very pleased to announce that next July, Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Uncensored will reprint the story in its entirety for the first time.
