Wednesday Worlds of Wonder O.C.T. OCCULT CRIMES TASKFORCE Chapter 1 Part 1

Sophia Ortiz is a dedicated NYPD officer, taking "to protect and serve" seriously...
...and its' that dedication to duty that's gonna lead her into a World of Wonder she never dreamed of!
To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!
Created and co-written by actress Rosario (Ahsoka) Dawson (who posed for photo reference for Sophia Ortiz), co-written by David Atchison, and illustrated by Tony (Star Trek) Shasteen, 12-Gauge/Image Comics' 2007 4-issue mini-series Occult Crimes TaskForce was a mystical (rather than scientific), gritty/urban take on the Men in Black concept.
Trivia note: NYPD (even rookies) don't wear khaki uniforms!
(My brother was a NYPD cop for 20 years from the 1980s to the early 2000s...never wore khaki.)
I'm surprised Dawson, who was born and lived in NYC until her late teens, didn't point this out to the other creatives!
I suppose it could be attributed to this being a fictionalized version of NYC...

Monday Magik Madness OCCULT CRIMES TASKFORCE "Officer Training Manual" Introduction

Study this document carefully.
It may save your life!

Think we're kidding?
This introduction to a secret manual for a covert NYC police division is from a 2007 12-Gauge/Image Comics mini-series.
You'll be seeing other sections of the manual in the near-future.
When N.Y.P.D detective Sophia Ortiz stumbles upon a bizarre murder scene, she is initially brushed aside, then recruited by a covert police unit ― the Occult Crimes Taskforce.
Versed in the black arts and equipped with mystical weaponry, the O.C.T. keeps the streets of Manhattan safe from unholy creatures of the night.
Can Sophia help stop this supernatural killer?
And why does she look just like Rosario (Ahsoka) Dawson?

...continuing the plotline established in both!
To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday
Written by Robert (Walking Dead) Kirkman and illustrated by Paulo Borges, this opening chapter from CrossGen's Don Bluth Presents Space Ace #1(2003) shows a nice balance between comedy and drama.
CrossGen published almost 70 titles between 2000 and 2004.
Besides creator-owned properties, the company also did a number of licensed projects like this, including Bluth's other big video game Dragon's LairJohn Carpenter's Snake Plisskin, and Masters of the Universe!

Monday Madness THE STAND "Afterward"

...here's the personal notes of the writer, penciler, color artist, and editor of the maxi mini-series that, combined can be considered the War & Peace of graphic storytelling!
Roberto Aguirre-Sacsca is currently the executive producer/creative director of the various Archie Comics TV shows including Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Katy Keene, as well as the CEO of Archie Comics!
Mike Perkins continues to work for both Marvel and DC, usually both penciling and inking (a rarity in the business)!
Laura Martin may have started as a colorist, but she's now considered one of the preeminent color artists in the comics field, enhancing great illustrations and salvaging bad artwork!
Editor Ralph Macchio is now retired, no doubt exhausted from working on The Stand!
Sadly, he has no on-line presence I can link to!
He is not the actor who plays The Karate Kid nor is he related to him an any way!
