Is there a more perfect comic book woman than Kim Pine?
Clearly not. She could totally kick Power Girl’s ass, too. Well, if there were a sarcasm and dry wit competition.
Bryan O’Malley’s The Wonderful World of Kim Pine was easily the highlight of Comics Festival, the Free Comic Book Day offering of the Toronto Comic Art Festival. It had some pretty stiff competition, too: Short strips by Darwyn Cooke, Cameron Stewart, Steve Rolston, Kean Soo, Hope Larson, and Chip Zdarsky. Oh, and a special episode of Dinosaur Comics! Indeed, it all rocked quite a bit.
But is there anything better than a Kim Pine solo story? I just don’t think that would be possible.
(Just in case you missed the 2005 edition of Comics Festival, due to being in Antarctica or having a crummy comic shop in your area, it’s now online. Pretty spiffy, no?)
