SDCC 2024: Abrams ComicArts announces Abrams Comics with monthly comics from Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller

At San Diego Comic ConAbrams ComicArts announced a new initiative—Abrams Comics a new line of monthly-issue comics that officially begins this fall with the release of Human Nature #1 from filmmaker Darren Aronofsky! Abrams ComicArts is expanding into the direct market, working with phenomenal talent to create exciting new monthly single issues, available in comic shops across the country. This is one piece of ComicArts exciting expansion into new areas, as seen in the recent announcement of a new manga line, Kana, also launching this fall. 

HUMAN NATURE

Writers: Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and Jeff Welch
Interior and Cover Artist: Martín Morazzo
Colorist (Interior and Cover): Chris O’Halloran
Letterer: Aditya Bidikar
1st issue on sale: November 20, 2024 (Monthly series) 

From Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky and his writing and producing partner Ari Handel, along with Jeff Welch, comes Human Nature, a social satire of a bizarre yet fathomable future. Drawn by comic book industry giant Martín Morazzo, Human Nature follows the ego-maniacal, Nebraskan chicken magnate Duke. Duke has almost all the world’s resources at his disposal. Once an everyman, Duke managed to work (and intimidate) his way into an endless fortune. Even though he has almost everything, there’s one thing even the richest man in the world can’t buy: immortality. Or can he?

Strange, thought-provoking, and, at times, gruesome, read the mini-series Human Nature to get a glimpse of a future resulting from unchecked greed, corporate corruption, and ethically questionable science.

Review: Jew Gangster

Jew Gangster

Robert DeNiro and his connection to gangster movies are as synonymous as the name Xerox and photocopy. One of his earliest movie was Mean Streets which chronicled how a small-time hood worked his way up the ranks. Of course, he would go on to make even more gangster movies with Martin Scorsese. One of his best being Goodfellas, which some consider the prototypical gangster movie.

DeNiro even played a young Vito Corleone in what some consider Francis Ford Coppola’s best movie, The Godfather Part II. The one movie that most people forget he was in and is considered an excellent movie in its own right, Once Upon a Time in America, directed by the late great Sergio Leone. What some may not know, if they never saw the movie, is that he played a Jewish gangster by the name of Noodles. His talent as a chameleon is put to great use throughout the movie. In Joe Kubert’s excellent Jewish Gangster, we get a tale much like Leone’s classic, but with its own flavor.

We meet Ruby, a young man growing up in New York who sees a gangster, Monk Greenberg, kill a man, just because he owed him. Somehow what he saw fascinated him, this leads him seeking out Monk, and rapidly becoming entrenched in this world, by running small errands at first. Increasingly, as his life becomes more part of the underworld, his relationship with his family, eventually disintegrates. Ruby would go on to rise through the ranks, becoming his own man, and becoming as respected as Monk. Ruby would reunite with his family shortly after his father’s death, leading him to some very bad decisions and dalliances with death. By book’s end, a couple of betrayals leaves everyone blind, Ruby finally gets what matters most in life, the love of family.

Overall, a harrowing and epic tale of coming of age in a world filled with gangsters where staying true to yourself can be the hardest thing to do. The story by Kubert is engrossing and smart. The art by Kubert and Pete Carlsson is vivid and awe inspiring. Altogether, one of Kubert’s best works that reads like one of America’s greatest novels.
