Bombaby - a comic by Antony Mazzota. "Sangeeta is, in fact, the reincarnation of India's ancient protector, the Goddess of Mumbai. But how will Sangeeta use this new-found power?"
One of Sangeeta's powers is her voice. (Her name means music.) The quality of the cover art and what looks like a mix of the superhero and Bollywood genres recently caught my attention.
Oops. I meant to include a link to some preview pages and to note that the first link requires Flash.
This looks interesting - but the preview stops just as things start to make a little sense. Bombaby is still a bit dizzy and fashion oriented. I love the Buffy thing, but would like to see non dizzy female teenage heroes too.
I'd picked up the first issue of this and... well, it was more interesting in concept than execution. It was a "wow, so that's all there is?" sort of reading experience. The cover art and the concept were a huge draw though, and I'd love to see it done better.
That's too bad, but thanks patita. I was hoping to hear from someone who had picked up a copy.
jb, I'm going to guess that you mean ditzy, and I can see that, though I wonder how much of that is just the caricature look.
"non dizzy female teenage heroes" --?--maybe some of the X-men teens? I still remember a storyline about Firestar as a teen, but it might have been a one-time thing.
...maybe some of the X-men teens?
Shadowcat?
Jubilee?
Rogue (way back when)?
I think all teenage heroes are given the ditz treatment for at least one ish.
Poor Robin.
Robin didn't strike me so much as a ditz as sometimes naive and well, boyish. He might have had a bar mitzvah and ditched the pantyhose if he wasn't the perpetual Boy Wonder. I wonder if there is a limit on how much I can post in a thread I started. There should be one.
