Detroit goes supernatural in new comic about black female journalist
Even fictional stories from Detroit’s neighborhoods can have their moment here at The Neighborhoods, so let’s get into this one.
This month marks the release of Abbott #1, a comic born from the mind of author Saladin Ahmed, writer for Marvel’s Black Bolt. It’s his first creator-owned comic book, which is different, he says, than working for Marvel or DC where you’re working with established characters that are owned by somebody else. “This is my story from the ground up,” he said.
We’re feeling a bit inspired by a certain celebrity couple’s baby-name choice today, so we asked the question: Could you name your baby after Detroit?
At The Neighborhoods, we’re interested in hearing from everybody in Detroit about what matters most to you.
