Jeremy Holt and Felipe Cunha reimagine the Great Gatsby for a new generation of readers

Posted on by

AWA Studios has announced Gatsby, a reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby through an LGBTQIA-led, racially diverse lens, debuting on November 2. From creator and writer Jeremy Holt and artist Felipe Cunha, the new 8-issue original series reinvents the widely read Great American Novel for a new generation of readers.

Set in the present day, Gatsby is a wholly reimagined version of The Great Gatsby. While the main characters and plot points are familiar to the original novel, Holt’s rendition will be viewed in a new light, recontextualized for the technology, societal norms, and economic striving of the 2020’s as opposed to the 1920’s through teenaged character leads. Though set nearly 100 years in the future, the themes of betrayal, power, greed, and the American Dream ring as true now in GATSBY as they did in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age tale. 

Gatsby is set in present-day Long Island. This story turns forward the clock to feature teenage versions of all of the key characters and views the classic dichotomies of the novel through a distinctly 21st century lens that includes the Internet, social media addiction, dark web bootlegging, and the proliferation of online identity creation, deletion, and theft. When middle-class Singaporean student Lu Zhao is invited to spend a summer on Long Island with his rich cousin Tommy, before attending Columbia University in the fall, his assimilation into the opulent American lifestyle straps him into a collision course fueled by designer drugs, sex, deceit, and murder. 

Gatsby is created and written by Jeremy Holt, illustrated by Felipe Cunha, colored by Dearbhla Kelly, and lettered by Adam Wollet. Issue #1 will be available November 2, both digitally and in stores wherever comic books are sold, with the following seven issues available on a monthly basis.

Advance Review: Delegates #6

Posted on by

The shock and dismay that settled in shortly after Donald Trump was elected President cannot be understated. The world’s collective gasp left the future so much grimmer and darker. The initial hope of a sustainable change was quickly dashed a few weeks into his term. Americans everywhere who had morals quickly realized just how hopeless our future is.

This is where the injustice felt, drives your purpose and even though you know the odds against you, you still believe even when everything you have done is right, and you still get disappointed, when the result is the opposite of what you hoped for. So many who have never experienced it before finally felt how it was not for justice to be served. Something persons of color regularly experienced and felt. When the world and voters everywhere saw who Trump really was, most of the world already knew and many others acted as if they were shocked. In the sixth issue of Delegates, we find Aminah, dealing with the aftermath of revealing what she truly is.

We find one of Aminah’s aides being interrogated by General Uba, who is questioning her about the rumors that Aminah is an android, looking to see if there is any validity to them. As Uba’s cousin, Captain Baptiste, is closing on in on Aminah and Marla, and so does Victoria, who is looking to extract the whole group. As they look to escape, Captain Baptiste finally catches up with them, but the village comes to their rescue leading to an all-out fight between the villagers and Baptiste’s men.

Overall, it’s a fun issue that ends this first story arc with a guns a blazing and some truths told. The story by Tina Cesa Ward and Bin Lee is smart, sweeping, and action packed. The art by the team is luminous and superlative. Altogether, an excellent issue that closes a great story arc and leaves the possibilities limitless.
