I was just thinking the other day, as I watched a TV show where there was some delightful anachronistic medicine going on. Charcoal for poison in medieval times, CPR in Ancient Greece, it’s always fun to watch and read that sort of thing. So, this comic book, was right there in the middle of my wheelhouse.
Delilah Dirk wants to rob the Sultan who is corrupt, and, give what she scores to the poor. She is in a Constantinople prison when the story starts, but, soon enough she escapes, and she meets, Erdemoglu Selim, a Turkish Lt. who is definitely not the adventurer Delilah is. And, they’re off and running all over 19th Century Europe and it’s alternatively hilarious and awesome. There’s even an evil pirate, and, my favorite thing, a flying ship!
It’s such a fun graphic novel, and the art in it was amazing too. It flowed right along with the story and was like some good John Williams background movie music. The art was always there, but, I didn’t notice it because I was instead just pulled into the story so fully.

My dear husband, by the time you read this letter, I will already be on the way to Cao Cao’s camp. I will be very careful, and only act when the moment is right. Yet I hope that the east wind will come early, as long as there is faith, there is hope. Clear are the waters of the Yangtze, always emerald are the mountains, there are birds returning to their nest, there are fishermen singing their evening songs. This is our home, our beautiful native land. Everyone is protecting her regardless of life or death, how can I stand idly by? I have already been carrying our child Ping’an for three months, I never told you as I feared it might distract you. I think, we cannot care just for our child, and neglect the children of Eastern Wu. I wish to see them grow up together, to have a future where they can play by the river, swim, admire the flowers, and plant rice in peace. Do not worry about me. I will bring Ping’an home.
TN: 平安 (píng ān) means “peace, safety”. The last sentence can thus be understood in two ways: 1) Despite walking into danger, Xiao Qiao will bring their child (Ping’an) home safely, or 2) By going to Cao Cao’s camp, Xiao Qiao will do what she must to help restore peace.
Sirens of the City #2 by Joanne Starer and Khary Randolph. Cover by Randolph. Variant covers by (2) Cliff Chiang (3) Dan Mora and (4) Toni Infante. Out in August.
"As the mysterious truth of Rome and his connection to Layla's pregnancy are revealed, even the relative safety of friends and newfound shelter won't be enough to protect her from the implications of what she carries.
But being a Siren comes with its share of power, and Layla wouldn't dare let that go to waste while in dire straits…"

clifford odets has done a hundred great things and made many great projects but he will literally always be the guy they stuck in a trailer writing last minute pages of ssos rewrites and taking one look at tony curtis, going oh he's pretty, and writing all of those references to his looks in the script lmao
