"First Muslim Superhero by a Muslim American Artist."

http://www.splitmoonarts.com/

Aaaand that's just about it.

A quarterly comic, 18-24 pages every deliver, meant to provide wholesome family entertainment while carrying an underlying message that good is universal, and can't be tied to one nation, race, or creed.

You need to leave your name and e-mail address to download it for free. I'm still waiting to see if I'll have any after-effects from downloading it.



To me, this is affirmative action too much, but I know that Split Moon Arts does this entirely out of good will (and 'cause they like comics). Other than the premise, I don't see much promise. Their art is somewhat awkward, with anatomy that seemed a little disjointed to me. The scenarios also seemed way too basic.

But it's too early to tell if that's all- guess I'll have to wait and see if they do a good job with their comic. Maybe I'm judging too quickly, they've only released two issues so far.

Penny for your thoughts?

Hmm. Can't see it doing any harm; might do some good.

It's not quite the first Muslim comicbook superhero, though. There were (and are) "the 99". Not sure how much of a readership they've got, though...

Not the first muslim comicbook superhero, but it is the first by a muslim american artist.

There's also Dust from the X-Men.
