Review: Kali

By Dustin Cabeal

“Kali” is a title I read and sat on for review because it left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Revenge stories aren’t supposed to have a happy ending, which is true of “Kali’s” ending, but they typically have a main character that you care for. Kali the character is never likable. There’s no sympathy for her plight and frankly the story moves too fast for you to feel anything other than violence. While I liked the comic, I found myself drawn to the visuals more than I was the story.

The story beings with Kali on a chain gang, that is instantly cooler because of her. The rest of the soldiers looked worn out and shitty but not Kali. She has a fucking knife sticking out of her shoulder, black leather chaps on her tight ass jeans and a rib cage skeleton shirt. She’s cool as ice as none of the kids say. For some reason, these captured prisoners of war are being interviewed to join the army that captured them. This is where Kali becomes unlikable as she rattles off a slew of exposition that stops being relevant to the story. The second she sees her former gang members. The ones that betrayed and left her for dead. Cue the beautiful violence.

Before I jump back into the story, let me just dive into the beauty of the art. The visuals are captivating. Every panel and page could be framed and hung on a wall. The second time I read this comic, I only looked at the pictures. Much of the story is told just from the art. Aside from Kali’s amazing design that screams “Cosplay me!”, the rest of the gang all have designs that make them stand out and be memorable. Well, as memorable as they can be, Kali picks them off one by one getting her sweet, sweet revenge. There’s also a flair of neo-Nazi design for the bad guys. The general’s daughter borders on nazi-fetishism. I couldn’t get into the look or the character who was very underdeveloped. The worst thing she does is make the former gang members but on boring version of their outfits. I guess she electrocutes Kali some too, but at that point in the story she’s poisoned and gone through all kinds of hell, so it doesn’t really matter.

David Byrne’s American Utopia is the focus of the latest episode of the Suzie Explores podcast. Seven members of the Broadway cast—Bobby Wooten III, Mauro Refosco, Daniel Freedman, Tim Keiper, Stéphane San Juan, Jacquelene Acevedo, and Tendayi Kuumba—joined host Suzie Collier six months after the end of the Broadway run to discuss the show and what’s happened since. You can watch the conversation here.

First off, looool. Secondly, I've made this point elsewhere, but I genuinely think a lot of the characters have essentially undescribed passive effects; Lestat's is that everyone in his physical proximity loves him for no good reason, Louis' is that everyone in his line of sight is suddenly thinks he's impossibly attractive, and Marius' is people in his presence think he has gravitas. I'm not kidding. If you read the books it genuinely seems like something like this is happening under the hood. Like Daniel's seeming ability to know lineages without being told (as pointed out to me today) and Santino's inexplicable Rat Affinity, it just seems to be something each of them is able to do—and why not? The "Gift" system is woefully inadequate and it's often clear they can do other things, like Armand projecting a physical version of himself in TVA.

But in reality, Marius is an [at-best] freedman who is very awkward and totally unable to land the masculinity to which he aspires. Honestly if you scratch the surface of him even a little bit, he's someone who—like Armand—really wants to be taken seriously as a man, and ironically, what's holding Armand back is primarily his appearance, but what's holding Marius back is that it just isn't his personality. It never was. Even his happy years were basically running a schoolhouse and painting flowers.

Dark Fantasy and Magic Collide in BIRDKING VOLUME 2

Dark Horse Comics presents BIRDKING VOLUME 2 — the sequel to last year’s critically acclaimed graphic novel — out this November. The fantasy epic is by writer Daniel Freedman (Kali) and artist CROM (Raiders).

About BIRDKING Volume 2: Bianca and Birdking continue their quest to reach Atlas, entering the domain of Hinnom, an insurmountable mountain range that is the birthplace of a dead dark empire and the battlefield in the war between the kingdoms of the North and South. Old friends, new allies, and scores of enemies await them there. No one has ever crossed Hinnom alive. But Bianca and Birdking might just make it. …Then again, maybe they won’t. 

The $19.99 graphic novel will measure 6 5/8 x 10 3/16” and spans 136 pages full of action, drama, and adventure.

BIRDKING VOLUME 2 will be released in comic shops on November 15th, 2023, and in book stores a day earlier on November 14th. It’s currently available for pre-order.

PRAISE FOR BIRDKING VOLUME 1:

“Onomatopoetic sound effects and rushing anime backgrounds make the battle scenes sing, while the use of monochromatic backgrounds and vivid facial expressions make the quiet moments incredibly powerful. About as carefully paced and deftly balanced as a story can get.” —Booklist, starred review

“CROM’s character designs are memorable, and he balances cartoony and artsy details with dramatic battle scene.” —Publisher’s Weekly

[mariacallous]

The war in Ukraine has altered the course of global history. These authors explore how. When Vladimir Putin's forces sought to conquer Ukraine in February 2022, they did more than threaten the survival of a vulnerable democracy. The invasion unleashed a crisis that has changed the course of world affairs. This conflict has reshaped alliances, deepened global cleavages, and caused economic disruptions that continue to reverberate around the globe. It has initiated the first great-power nuclear crisis in decades and raised fundamental questions about the sources of national power and military might in the modern age. The outcome of the conflict will profoundly influence the international balance of power, the relationship between democracies and autocracies, and the rules that govern global affairs.

In War in Ukraine, Hal Brands brings together an all-star group of analysts to assess the conflict's origins, course, and implications and to offer their appraisals of one of the most geopolitically consequential crises of the early twenty-first century. Essays cover topics including the twists and turns of the war itself, the successes and failures of US strategy, the impact of sanctions, the future of Russia and its partnership with China, and more.

Contributors: Anne Applebaum, Joshua Baker, Alexander Bick, Hal Brands, Daniel Drezner, Peter Feaver, Lawrence Freedman, Francis Gavin, Brian Hart, William Inboden, Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Michael Kimmage, Michael Kofman, Stephen Kotkin, Mark Leonard, Bonny Lin, Thomas Mahnken, Dara Massicot, Michael McFaul, Robert Person, Kori Schake, and Ashley Tellis.

For comic recs:

Flamewar (IDW2)

For Flamewar

Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal

Flamewar doesn’t me as the kind of person who can sit still reading for very long so strip comics seem to make most sense for her. I recommend woman world over others because of its tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and the close knit relationships. They have was Streamteam wants.

For you

Birdking by Daniel Freedman and CROM

If you’re a fan of Flamewar you will probably enjoy this one! It’s the perfect mix of Hellboy and Nimona: moody and fantastical atmosphere with a spunky blacksmith protagonist ready to take on the world and everything evil in it.

#have I recommended Nimona yet? #surely I have… #if not… y’all’ve gotta heard about it by now #read Nimona #optimist.txt #ask games #comic recs
