Topic: Sojourn (comics)


  
  Sojourn (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sojourn was a CrossGen comic book title about the adventures of Arwyn and Gareth the Archer.
Starting in 2001, it ran for 35 issues (including prequel) before it was forced to end by the bankruptcy of CrossGen in 2004.
The series was left with a cliffhanger that would have led into a 4 issue mini-series called Sojourn+Lady Death illustrated by George Perèz and written by Chuck Dixon and Brian Pulido.

 Batman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the introduction of DC Comics' multiverse in the 1960s, it is retroactively established that the Golden Age Batman lives on the parallel world of Earth-Two.
After Zero Hour, DC Comics introduced the idea of Batman a an urban legend; however, Batman is "outed" in the "War Games" crossover, when his live image is broadcast over the news during a brief daytime appearance in front of a high school under siege in Gotham.
In modern comics, Batman is shown to have become steadily paranoid over the years and tends to not trust other heroes, even those he has known for years, like Superman.

 FANBOY PLANET.com .: rs-sojourn :.
Sojourn is a straightforward fantasy adventure that somehow manages to feel fresh when compared to some of the other fantasy comics and books in recent publication.
Thankfully, Sojourn is not one of the titles set to get the axe after Crossgen's upcoming, multiple-title-spanning event (I just really, really don't want to say "crossover") entitled The War, so the epic may continue, provided Crossgen continues.

Sojourn has a classic DND plot, instead of a 7 peice rod of might, it is a 5 piece magic bow that is supposed to call forth a legend and smite down the bad guy.

It made me realise again that one reason I love comics so much is that they brought back cool UST relationships (after I thought that Mulder and Scully had ruined them for me for good).
I've heard that all the CrossGen comics are connected somehow, not only in the fact that they use the sigil but something bigger.
Sojourn also used to be one of my favorites, but I was mainly in it for Greg Land's gorgeous artwork.

With "Sojourn" being, arguably, the most popular of all the sigil based CrossGen Comics, CBR News caught up with the creators behind the series.
In this first part of a two part look at "Sojourn," CBR News spoke with two members of the visual team on the series, colorist Justin Ponsor and inker Jay Leisten.
Though both creators draw their share of acclaim, it was Ponsor who won an award from the comic-oriented magazine "Wizard: The Guide To Comics" for being the best interior colorist.

 Sequential Tart: Comic Reviews - Katherine Keller (vol IV/iss 9/September 2001)
As I've said in many a review, the first issue of a TV show or comic is difficult to write because the writer must accomplish so many things: introduce characters, give enough of a back story for context, and get the story moving forward.
Sojourn does this competently enough, but nothing as compelling as say The Red Star #1 or Disciples #1.
Number 15 is one of those issues that reconfirms my belief that comics are the coolest things on the planet.

A young aspiring swords woman who's family was wiped out by a rival sword school comes to him and the book follows her quest for vengence and Manji (the main character) trying to keep her alive.
It seems bizarre to me that a lot of comic companies in the US settle for crappy art for many of their books, but in Japan, manga is so much a staple of the society that there is no shortage of skilled artists to illustrate their comics.
Comic book format fits the super-hero genre well, but I'll stick to books, movies and TV for my fantasy.

 Sojourn #1 Sells Out
CrossGen launched the Sojourn title in June with a 32-page prequel, which was priced at $2.95 (what CrossGen usually charges for its 22-page monthly comics).
Sojourn #1 was an immediate sell out through Diamond and has had retailers and consumers alike clamoring for more copies of the newest edition to the growing world of Crossgen Comics."
Since their initial launch on May 24, 2000, CrossGen Comics has set unprecedented sales records for a new start-up comics publisher by debuting their first six releases on the comic book industry distributor's Top 100 sales list.

 Best Crossgen titles? - Captain Comics Round Table   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
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.
My one concern about recommending Sojourn is that the title is about to get a new writer, and that might have an affect on the title's quality (though at least Greg Land's art will keep it looking top-notch).
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.

I've been reading comics for decades, and turning the first page of this issue into the two-page spread that finds Commander Bohr standing in the middle of a sun-dappled river in the middle of a lush forest had me gasping in surprise.
Nevertheless, it does take an otherwise one-note adversary and instead gives him a home life, a sense of duty and honor, and a reason to be the person that he is. Even though we must, by necessity, root for Arwyn, we can no longer see Bohr as another obstacle to be disposed of.
Bohr is a thinking, feeling being, and this touching tribute to the gray areas in life raises SOJOURN several notches to a level of literary complexity that is most welcome.
