HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF THE GREATEST WONDER WOMAN STORYTELLERS OF OUR GENERATION, PHIL JIMENEZ!

PHIL JIMENEZ...

You have WORKED, so incredibly, relentlessly hard to get to this moment--to impact and raise the expectations of what we expect to find in a comic book, how it can transform our LIVES ..and how we see each other--and we're so proud of you, Phil.

You have told us you were one of those 80s kid artists, worshipping the masterful pencils of the late, great George Perez, ..emulating his style in your work. "You can't look at a Phil Jimenez, without thinking of George Perez", we say! When you hear fans say or write things, like that, it's got to be a little awkward, because we LOVED that generous man and what he shared with all of us, ..but, I think they are coming from a pure place.

A place of sincere appreciation for you both.

You truly are one of the greatest X-Men, Wonder Woman and Titans storytellers and illustrators, generally speaking, of our generation. You have been an inspiration to aspiring Latino and LGBTQA comic book creators, alike, ..and now, you're (we're) fifty-two. The NEW fifty-two? [Hopefully.]

From me and the two guys, who read my blog...Happy Birthday, Phil.

HAPPILY EVER AFTERWORLDS: CONRAD, CLOONAN, MOORE AND THE SECOND GOLDEN AGE OF WONDER WOMAN

  By Edgar Miraculous Dyer The first TEN issues of  Michael W. Conrad' s,  Becky Cloonan' s and  Travis Moore' s tour on the  Wonder Woman  comic, called  Wonder Woman: Afterworlds,  is an exceptionally written and illustrated literary work - all the more exceptional, ..being a comic book story. I suppose you could call it " a good start",  since the creative team just wrapped its opening story arc,  Afterworlds,  and is moving swiftly onto its next one, ..already much anticipated by fans. However, I think calling it a good  start  diminishes it, somehow. It is, simply put, one of the most entertaining story cycles to be featured in the  Wonder Woman  comic, in recent memory. It may be said to herald a second Golden Age, in crafting the sort of wildly imaginative, far-flung, pulpy adventures, we haven't seen, since  Mike Sekowsky' s work on the comic ..in the Mod Era 1970s. Afterworlds  is plain good re...
