X-Men: Legacy #225

Xavier – Exodus–

Exodus – I renounce that name.  Moses led his people to a land flowing with milk and honey.  I presided over a retreat.

Xavier – That’s not what this is.  It was way past time.  That’s all.  To declare an armistice on wars we already lost.  Not to forget the past but to make our peace with it — and live at last in the present.

Exodus – The present?  It’s a wilderness where wounded animals spit at heaven.  And devour each other, even as they die.

Xavier – Then change it.

Comics bringing Israel and Poland Together

Posted on by

A couple of weeks ago the Jerusalem Post published an article covering a joint comic produced by Israeli and Polish artists.  2008-2009 is Israel-Poland year, and in commemoration of the event 5 Israeli comic artists joined 5 Polish artists to cover issues often thought taboo between the two cultures.

The comic book, Poliisra, has been used as an opportunity to to explore stereotypes between the two societies as well as addressing historical issues between the two countries.  Topics include the Holocaust, antisemitism, and stereotyped views between the various peoples.

An exhibition of the work can be seen starting August 7 at the Israeli Cartoon Museum in Holon.  You can find out more information at www.cartoonmuseum.org.
