Another look at DARKNESS CALLS
Darkness Calls--A Suicide Prevention Comic: Worth reading because it is goodThe story is well crafted, using well known superhero archetypes or clichés in a way that fits perfectly. This is not really a superhero comic, but the legend character of Wesakecak is portrayed as such to add some action to the story and put ancient legends in a visual language that comic readers would relate to. The art is very nice and the rich colors are a perfect fit for the serious tone of the book. I am very impressed by the whole thing--a very professional comic by Steve Sanderson, an Aboriginal youth cartoonist. Comment: For my thoughts on this comic, see Rob's review.
