This week on Comics and Chronic we discuss Dark Horse’s Helen of Wyndhorn by Tom King & art by Bilquis Evely & colors by Matheus Lopes.
“Following the tragic death of her late father C.K. Cole, the esteemed pulp writer and creator of the popular warrior character Othan, Helen Cole is called back to her Grandfather's enormous and Illustrious estate, Wyndhorn House. Scarred by Cole's untimely passing and lost in a new, strange world, Helen wreaks drunken havoc upon her arrival. However, her chaotic ways begin to soften as she discovers a lifetime of secrets hiding within the myriad rooms and hallways of the expansive manor. For outside its walls, within the woods, dwell the legendary adventures that once were locked away within her father’s stories.”
But first, Cody gets into his onesie to prepare for the cold. Jake wants to see people struggle. Are we planning to cover Batman No Man’s Land for Bat-March 2026. Little Women is a great comfort movie. Was the new Wicked a major step down? Cody confuses his Asian actresses; Jake doesn’t fair much better. Does the story being told from a character’s POV who wasn’t involved in the adventures take away from it? How does this compare to Supergirl: Woman of Tomrorow? Who would we cast in a live-action version of this comic? Does this book show how fairy tales come to be passed on from word of mouth? Also RIP to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Are Comics and Chronic going to start their own Black Label episodes? Do we want to see a sequel to this book? Is the art a perfect 6 but the story lacks? Listen now to find out!
