![]() ![]() The flat colors I committed to still allowed me to utilize color hold on certain areas to create a painterly effect, but I distinctly wanted to avoid contemporary computer color shading so this book could appear like it was done with bygone technology. To be like my painted work, a half-tone effect was achieved through a dry-brush technique I used extensively. Ross: I mostly restrain myself with pure shadow placements and black outlines by working with ink. Nrama: On that note, aside from the obvious mechanical differences, how does working in this style differ from the fully-painted realism you're mostly known for? ![]() To a degree, I needed to reinvent myself to present the Fantastic Four in a manner I hoped would connect to its beginnings without being a pure imitation. ![]() Ross: Influences like the black light posters from the '70s and the general Pop Art feel of the '60s are something I've generally never connected to in my work before, but I saw a special reason it would help elevate this story. What inspired the style you employed for this story? Nrama: Speaking of the art on Full Circle, you haven't done sequentials in a while - and you've never done anything quite like this. I revised the loose drawings with tighter layouts, and the whole book could be read along with the script for my editors to review. I later composed a tighter working script to match the drawings but without the panel descriptions, one would need to write for another person to follow.

The 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) takes place in Glasgow at the end of October, but many of us would question whether the process is capable of delivering the radical emissions reductions we need in the timescale required, or indeed if any process so dominated by the rich nations of the global north is likely to result in an agreement that has the principles of climate justice at its core. From flooding and forest fires, to soaring temperatures, it is abundantly clear that global warming is accelerating faster than anticipated, and our window of opportunity to combat its worst effects is shrinking commensurately. Throughout 2021 we have witnessed a number of devastating and deeply disturbing extreme weather events across the globe. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Feser puts it: “Abandoning Aristotelianism, as the founders of modern philosophy did, was the single greatest mistake ever made in the entire history of Western thought”. Not because Aquinas himself was ever refuted, but because he was ignored. Everything after Aquinas, Feser laments, has gone downhill. The contention of The Last Superstition is that Aristotelianism is basically correct, and that philosophy more-or-less reached its zenith with Thomas Aquinas. The tactic of The Last Superstition is to simply appeal to the classical philosophical tradition that has already been around for thousands of years, and show how that great tradition bears on the atheist claims that we hear so much of today.īut this strategy may be off-putting to some Christians as well – Feser is not only arguing against atheism, he’s arguing against most of what is normally called ‘modern’ philosophy. In fact, he is hardly even writing anything new at all. Feser himself does little in the way of speculation. This is not a book filled with the author’s own opinions, rather it’s a book that tries to lay out basic underlying foundations. ![]() This alone may tell you whether or not this book is ‘for you’ or not – it introduces Feser’s polemic style, and it also tells you its goal. The title of Edward Feser’s book The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism sets the tone for the entire work, as it asserts in bold letters across the cover that atheism is the ultimate ‘superstition’. ![]() ![]() ![]() Impersonating Lady Saren is a crime punishable by death, but Dashti will have to play the role many times if she is to save them both from the tower and the dangers outside.
