Hello Everyone! My blog today is about 'A Christian Comic I'd buy more than once'. An explanation: I try to buy Christian Comics to support the efforts and visions that their creators have been given by God. Nowadays there are more titles than I can afford to keep up with, but I try. Today I will review a comic I would buy more than once.
You've all seen the promotional teasers for our very own 'New Creation Entertainment' friends from the CCAS. For those of you who haven't been following, 'New Creation Entertainment' has it's origins in a group of CCAS members who published some fine books in years past. Recently, they, and some like minded comic creators, banded together to form NCE, which is a Christian Comic company. NCE is still working on it's first wave of Christian Comic books. It looks like a great line-up! For more information, try the following website: http://www.newcreationnow.com/ Where was I? Oh yes! One of the classic books created in the summer of 2000 by the forerunner of todays NCE is still available from their current website! The book is "New Crew" and it's written by a very talented CCAS comic creator, Kevin Yong. Sadly, Kevin doesn't come around here on ning that much, he's very busy. But believe me, he is a very imaginative and prolific writer. Typical of Kevin, the book throws you a curve from the outset. The book isn't really about 'The New Crew' as much as it is about a wonderful Christian super heroine named 'Virtue'. But just as 'The New Crew' characters are glory hounds in the story, so they manage to steal the title of this delightful book. Storywise it's a very light-hearted and comical view of the world of superheroes but it does have some sweet and poignant moments in it as well. Art-wise the book is in four chapters, by Geoff Strout(our webmaster here at ning) and Ralph Miley Jesse Hamm(Seven Seconds and a Dead Fish) Bud Rogers(from Community Comics, 'Awesome Dude') and Monte Wilson(Elfin Romance, Royal Guard). Also contributing, Don Ensign and Devin Parker I recommend this book very much! Here is a scribble fan art I did, of Reggie Byer's "Shuriken" teaming up with 'New Crew's' Virtue. Hope it doesn't hurt their sales, ha ha:)
Let's rally around 'New Creation Enterprises', and give her our support! God bless you all, Gerry Lee
