North Korea seems to have taken over the space in America's collective consciousness formerly occupied by the planet Mongo. Created by the brilliant cartoonist Alex Raymond, the distant Mongo, as ruled by the diabolical Ming the Merciless, a jaundiced and slant-eyed despot, perpetually plotted our destruction until Flash Gordon foiled its schemes. Substitute Kim Jong-Il for Ming, and nuclear weapons for invading spaceships, and you have a pretty good approximation of America's poor sense of an extremely closed and apparently hostile other world.

Walt and Skeezix volume one begins with...

...Cartoonist Judd Winick met his future wife Pam Ling on season three of The Real World. Now he's used her Chinese-American culture as the springboard for the story of a sarcastic 11-year-old who is the Te Xuan Ze, the protector of humanity from supernatural villains. It's a little derivative of Buffy the Vampire Slayer--O.K., a lot--but Juniper has its own clever twists; for instance, only she can see her monster enemies. Let it never be said nothing good came out of reality...
