		Ruse is a congenial, blustery, bearded fellow, with more than a hint about him of the English schoolboy he was half a century ago.
		Ruse has devoted much of his career, first at the University of Guelph in Ontario and more recently at Florida State, to battling the creationist agenda in science and philosophy, in the classroom and the political arena.
		Ruse is drawing a crucial distinction between evolutionary science, narrowly considered -- which need not have any religious or spiritual consequences -- and the secular, atheistic religion he says often accompanies and enfolds Darwinism.

	Ruse (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first half was written by Mark Waid and the last half by Scott Beatty; nearly the entire series featured pencils by Butch Guice.
		The critically-acclaimed series was known for complex plots, the witty repartee between the two protagonists, and being of an unusual genre in comic books (Victorian-era detective fiction).
		Some readers consider her dialogue in Ruse #18 (April 2003) to possibly hint that she is a Negation Lawbringer.

		Comics turned out to be an ideal solution, but not for the reasons you might think.
		Comics have struggled with a perception problem ever since the 1950s, when the outcry against violence in comics led to public comic-book burnings and even congressional hearings into the effect of comics on juvenile delinquency.
		In a 1993 study in the Journal of Child Language, researchers concluded that the average comic book introduced kids to twice as many words as the average children's book, and five times as many words as they were likely to be exposed to in the average child-adult conversation.

		RUSE is a classic story of two investigators, Simon Archard and Emma Bishop solving crimes and mysteries in a Victorian England type of setting.
		This is one play upon the word RUSE since the major archetype would have the handsome male being the powerful all knowing lead and the weak defenseless beautiful female being the submissive lesser star, perhaps she even gets them into trouble.
		Another aspect of the Ruse is that aside from the archetype switch, Simon is in fact bright and wise, and does teach Emma, but Emma is truly powerful being who has been sent to learn from a human.

	Ruse #24 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Although Ruse does not offer much mystery this week, the book does bring to sharp focus the characterization of Simon and Emma.
		The scene of Simon and Trencher in the foreground is superimposed on filmstrip style panels depicting the gem's current whereabouts.
		Ruse in general is an outstanding marriage between story and artwork.

	Captain Comics Round Table -> Best Crossgen titles? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		This one is certainly not everyone's cuppa, but it's a horror comic following the adventures of a young woman who has the ability to see monsters and is drawn into their plots in a 1950s-esque world.
		Ruse used to be one of my favorite Crossgen titles, but I think it is no where near as good since Waid left it (IMHO).
		Weather you call it mutants or metahumans or whatever, the sigil was something the traditional comic reader could identify with, but since each book stands alone quite well, the story of the sigil never seemed to get in the way for me.

	Ruse: The Silent Partner - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		In pitching their work to a non-comics audience, Ruse's creators and publishers haven't forgotten how much of the pleasure of comics lies in their serial nature, the gradual development of character and story, and the simple fun of anticipation.
		Ruse's main character--hyper-logical, largely emotionless detective Simon Archard--would seem to signal that Ruse is a Sherlock Holmes knock-off.
		Ruse is at its most entertaining when it's least on-task; The Silent Partner's opening two chapter digression and the third chapter's self-contained mystery deliver more zing than the sequence of showdowns in its concluding three chapters.

		Comics with class: for years, comic books have been dismissed as the lowest form of entertainment.
		"Comics and graphic novels are absolutely the fastest growing area of interest for libraries," says Stephen Wether, director of the public library in Maynard, Massachusetts, and author of The 101 Best Graphic Novels.
		"As you're reviewing comics, think about the material kids are exposed to in the average hour of prime-time viewing or in the average PG-13 film," says Paul Levitz, president and punisher of DC Comics, home to hundreds of comic-book characters, including Superman and Batman.

	Pulp and Dagger -- Review
		Ruse is set in an alternate reality late 19th Century (presumably England), where bat-like gargoyles flitter about the streets the way pigeons and sparrows do ours.
		His "Kingdom Come" mini-series from a few years back, imagining a future reality for DC Comics' superheroes including Superman, Batman, etc., was particularly well received (albeit, as much thanks to the breathtaking, fully-painted art of Alex Ross).
		The series is cut from similar cloth as Alan Moore's and Kevin O'Neil's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with its light-hearted evocation of Victorian Era fantasy adventure given a modern spin.

	The Comics Journal: Newswatch
		CrossGen is the comics company that was born out of conversations about artists, characters and stories that took place between the teenage Mark Alessi and his cousin Gina Villa.
		She was placed in charge of CrossGen comics operations and production, after having worked for the previous 29 years as a physical education and health instructor at Holliston High School in Massachusetts.
		While generic elements varied from title to title, a common feature of each comic was the idea of protagonists who had been invested with a special power to make great changes in their world.

	CriticWeb::Archive - Ruse: Enter the Detective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		This is an ambitious play for a new publishing house but it works to their advantage as it allows them to easily have crossovers between titles and it means that each new title has some history to draw on (should it wish to).
		A highpoint of the comic is that banter between Simon and Emma.
		In fact the dialogue across the whole comic is excellent and Waid (Flash, JLA) doesn't drop the ball on this one; his plots are as fine as anything penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

	Shakethrus: 2002 - Shaking Through.net: Comics: Reviews
		In an understated display of his versatility, novelist and omnipresent comics scribe Greg Rucka (Critical Space, Batman) crafts a taut spy tale involving the hunt for a list of anti-Taliban (given the equally valid, if jarring, spelling Taleban here) contacts, stashed away by a journalist-slash-spy moments before he's arrested and executed.
		But famed comic scribe O'Neil drops certain narrative threads at jarring moments, and attempts at out-there, experimental plots (including Daredevil "teaming up" with Marvel Western character Two-Gun Kid from the safety of their respective times, and a fish-out-of-water jaunt to Italy) seem forced.
		There are some admirably comic and inventive moments, including the character of Zeitgeist, who exists only in the most abstract sense, and a peek at a raft of alternate-universe Captain Britains with names like Captain Albion and Captain Airstrip-One.

		The word ruse is defined as 'a deception' or 'subterfuge.' Rest assured, Partington boasts its share of shady characters and two-faced crooks.
		Her stature has thrust her straight into the city's upper class, but little does anyone suspect that she is in fact the leader of a crime network whose goal is to bankrupt and control the planet.
		Ruse is currently penned by veteran comic writer Mark Waid.

	Shakethrus: 2003 - Shaking Through.net: Comics: Reviews
		Comics scribe Joe Casey deserves points for finding fresh angles on both Wildcats, the troubled superteam title launched by industry superstar Jim Lee in the early '90s, and the staid superhero team-as-business concept.
		In his introductory notes, British comics writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, DV8) reveals himself as a diehard fan of the American space program, and loudly laments the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia and its certain detrimental effect on the future of space exploration.
		Whereas the first volume to collect the Victorian-era-ish detective comic Ruse was a refreshing break from and expansion of the staid formulaic approach of traditional adventure comics, its follow-up, The Silent Partner, proves woefully disappointing.

		Marvin Long, responding to Michael Ruse, says: "The fact is that all of science implies atheism; Darwin is just the popular battleground." I hadn't realized that science had disproved the existence of God.
		The letter writers apparently believed that Ruse actually advocates not teaching evolution, but if they'd read the previous paragraph, they'd have seen that Ruse was challenging the assertion that evolutionary biology necessarily leads to atheism.
		I think Ruse is right in that evolutionism, as opposed to evolutionary science, is feverishly anti-religion and as such behaves like a religion of its own.

		While Mark Waid was the writer of the title, he enjoyed a fully collaborative relationship with the other members of the RUSE creative team.
		Since the team wanted RUSE to go in a different direction than I did, we decided to part ways.

		Disney claims to be a world leader in comic book sales, and focuses upon its success world wide with its library of characters.
		But in doing so they should understand that what makes a comic good is the efforts poured into it, not the demographics they hope to capture.
		I hope that I am reading RUSE from Disney years from now, but Disney needs to read the issues of that and see that it jumped the shark when Waid left the book.

	Footnote Comics
		Most CrossGen comics take place on other planets evoking different parts of Earth's history; Crux does take place on Earth but in the far future when some of the ancient Atlanteans have been revived.
		Many of the comics are linked by a yin-yang-like "sigil" that gives some of the main characters special powers and by the First, a race of gods that has some mysterious connection to the "sigil."
		My favorite series are The Way of the Rat (Hong Kong-style action and humor), The Path (the Japanese-flavored saga of a monk rebelling against his insane king and the First), and Negation (a ragtag group of prisoners try to escape a universe dominated by an evil god).

		The CrossGen creators, Mark Alessi and Gina Villa, developed these comics because, as parents, they wanted their kids to read, and as comic book producers, they wanted their kids to read comics.
		They were also tired of hearing comics relegated to the lowest rungs on the reading ladder -- just above not reading at all.
		In her struggle to provide it with good leadership, Sephie must draw on her own strengths -- her knowledge of geography and her aerial piloting skills -- to keep her land free from the forces that seek to overwhelm it.

		Waid's Holmes-inspired book was nothing like his past triumphs, and after a while it becomes hard to imagine someone shifting their gears so radically.
		It's a lot of the little touches that make Guice's work stand out so well; the clothing that people are wearing stays perfectly in period yet is drawn with such familiarity that you'd think Guice was from a world where Victorian styles never died out.
		While it perhaps can't live up to some of the expectations people placed on it (I don't think Ruse #1 really could heal the sick and transmute lead into gold), I found it to be a delightful story, and I think CrossGen's strongest debut to date.

		I know this got cancelled, but Sean said it was good, so I found some back issues in trade.
		There's a real opportunity to do a Sherlock Holmes type comic, but they have to go and muck it up with the chick being able to freeze time and weird Bondian type plots about lay lines and metallic manipulation.
		This is just how I would do it, though, I didn't write the thing, and as I said, Archard is interesting enough and I like the period of "victorian london" a lot, and there aren't too many comics that explore that period.
