Story and art by Lincoln Peirce.

Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright. His baseball team's just been given the lamest name in Little League history; he's on the verge of becoming know-it-all Gina's personal servant for a day; and Spitsy, the closest thing he has to a dog of his own, is in love with a cat. Yup, Nate's up to his ears in stress. Luckily, the perfect remedy is close at hand: an empty plastic soda bottle. All Nate has to do is drum it gently against his head - thunka, thunka, thunka - and the pressures of dealing with Coach John, Mrs. Godfrey, and the terrifying Kim Cressly begin to fade away. Who knew an empty bottle could be so therapeutic?

Written by Chris Charlton, Artwork by David Hollenbach. Set in the late forties, a favored time for the crime/noir genre, Black of Heart follows a pair of detectives and the killer they are attempting to track down in Brooklyn, New York. Recently promoted to homicide detective, Drake Harper has seen some shit, and there are few he can turn to. A city full of criminals. A partner that drinks too much. A wife that cheats. Written by Chris Charlton, the owner of Assailant Comics, Black of Heart tells the dark and gripping if somewhat predictable story of a homicide detective in the last forties. A much used premise. A much used era. A much used genre. But Black of Heart is by no means bad. Since the crime/drama genre was popularized (especially in the last five to ten years), it seems like every murder mystery plot has been exhausted. 28 pages, B&W with partial color. Cover price $4.99.

By Jeffery A Brown.

What do the comic book figures Static, Hardware, and Icon all have in common? Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans gives an answer that goes far beyond "tights and capes." Milestone was the brainchild of four young black creators who wanted to part from the mainstream and do their stories their own way. Milestone focused on the African American heroes in a town called Dakota. Milestone's creators aimed for exceptional stories that addressed racial issues without alienating readers. Tracing the company's history and discussing its creators, their works, and the fans, this book gauges Milestone alongside other black comic book publishers, mainstream publishers, and the history of costumed characters.
