Urban Superteens: WildSeed
March 8th 2007
At the NY comic con this year, I was handed two issues of WildSeed as I passed the Urban Voice in Comics booth.
WildSeed, (no relation to Octavia Butler’s book of the same name) written by Ron King, illustrated by Abdul Rashad, is an up-and-coming comic title published by KIAH Entertainment. At times the art felt as though Rashad is still in the process fine-tuning his style, but nevertheless, both issues are solid and well-executed with plenty of visual entertainment.
The story features five teens with supernormal abilities, on the run from a government agency that wants to contain them. Exposure to a highly advanced virus caused their current condition, and while they desperately want a return to normality, the government agency can’t be trusted to give that to them – no one can.
One is a would-be cheerleader, one is a drug dealer, another is a rock star wannabe, two are just high school students trying to get by, and now all five have to work together to survive. Their families are missing. They’re broke. They’re being hunted. And they may be dying.

A New Guilty Pleasure: The Dabel Brothers

The Dabel Brothers, under the banner of Marvel comics, have come out with several comic titles based on best-selling sci-fi and fantasy authors’ novels. Dabel Brothers Productions has been around since 2002, and their most recent line-up of novel adaptations started in the summer of 2006, but I didn’t discover them until I went to the con this weekend.
Drawn to Diversity (a NYCC 2007 Report)
February 26th 2007
I just wanted to say a word about a program we encountered at the con, called Drawn to Diversity. When I first saw their booth, I thought they were representing another comic book title – I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they’re a group devoted to exploring the cultural significance of modern art (even if it’s not widely recognized as art). I appreciate what they’re trying to do, since I was the co-prez of a multicultural club back in high school.
Created by the students of
Their first year, they spread awareness of comic books, the art form’s history, and its cultural significance. This year, they started exploring the world of newspaper comics. Of course, they won’t stick to comic books and newspaper – they plan on exploring diversity in advertising, Disney animation, and Saturday morning cartoons, amongst other topics. The two college representatives I spoke to were really enthusiastic about the program. If you’d like them to speak at your school or business, would like to support them, or are interested in them for any other reason, contact Dan Napolitano via their website.
