LP version. The period of 1967-1968 when rocksteady was in full flow, would also be a turning point for Bunny "Striker" Lee, when he became a producer in his own right. Many of the great tunes during this eventful year came out of his stable and initially saw the light of day on his own imprint label "Lee's". Jumping With Mr. Lee has been assembled from some of those fine tunes and tells the story of reggae in what was a stellar time for both reggae and Mr Bunny Lee. Edward "Bunny" Lee, later to become known as "Striker", got his introduction to the music business around 1962 when his future brother in law singer Derrick Morgan introduced Bunny to producer Duke Reid, who gave him a job as record plugger for his Treasure Isle label. 1966 saw Bunny Lee move on to working for producer Ken Lack who ran his own label Caltone. As stated earlier, by 1967 Bunny Lee was leading the way and his vast stable of singers, were producing hit after hit for him - many of those artists are featured on this compilation. The Sensations' "Long Time Me No See You Girl", The Uniques which featured the great Slim Smith are here on some of their greatest cuts "Love and Devotion", "The Beatitude", and "Girls Like Dirt". "My Conversation", a song that would be a big hit for the Uniques, would also go on to be of the most covered songs and redone over rhythms, in the history of reggae music. The great singer Pat Kelly features on "Somebody's Baby" and "Little Boy Blue" all massive hits, when originally released. Bunny's love of jazz and the brass sections would also shine through with some of Jamaica's finest musicians featured here with the excellent tenor sax work of Val Bennett which provided the album title track "Jumping With Mr Lee" and "Jumping With Val". The alto sax work of Lester Sterling is featured on the timeless cut "Bangerang" and "Tribute To Scratch". The big sound of trombonist Vin Gordon features on "Sounds And Soul". Not forgetting the previously mentioned king of ska Derrick Morgan on "Hold Your Jack", a song that in a few years' time would provide the backbone for Mr Max Romeo's cross over and controversial hit "Wet Dream". A fine collection of tracks from the great producer Bunny "Striker" Lee. Also features Winston "Stranger" Cole, Pat Kelly, and Ken Parker.

Painful Read

This is a painful read. I only got it because I’m reading the rest of the EU Booms.

Avatar is about reflecting real world issues, and this comic does not disappoint
Format: Paperback
I will admit that at first, I was disappointed that Turf Wars portrayed homophobia in the Avatar verse. My thought was that if this is a fictional world, why not just have homophobia not exist. But Avatar has always been about reflecting real world issues, and this comic handles those issues in a way that felt honest and close to home. It didn't feel like it was using homophobia to exploit the LGBT characters for drama. As a lesbian, I felt that I could relate deeply to the obstacles that Korra and Asami face while entering their relationship, and dealing with coming out. My girlfriend and I both come from conservative families, so it was important early on to communicate coming out boundaries with each other. When Asami hesitates toward immediately coming out to Korra's parents, this isn't portrayed as a negative thing, just that it's important for Korra and Asami to communicate about this. Another thing I loved was the look that Kya gives Korra and Asami, and how she's immediately able to recognize that they're in a relationship. I love that she becomes a support for them, and they have an LGBT mentor in their lives. That's what makes this comic special, to me. This doesn't just realistically portray an LGBT romantic relationship, it also portrays LGBT community, which I find is far rarer in media. It's virtually non-existent in children's media. The only other example I can think of is an episode of Danger & Eggs which features a pride parade. The media landscape is starved for healthy, realistic, and nuanced portrayals of LGBT couples, but what I hardly ever see is LBGT community and culture shown on top of that. I believe there is room in media for both fiction where homophobia doesn't exists, and fiction where it's portrayed with realism without exploitation. In these cases, it's important to show LGBT characters facing these struggles by finding community with each other. Connection through community is powerful. I don't know who I'd be if I didn't grow up without LGBT friends supporting me and guiding me throughout my coming out process. Seeing a comic portray that process is beautiful, and I hope that's the direction the creative world continues to go in. The art is gorgeous, and the story feels like a natural continuation of the television series. When I read the dialogue, I can hear the character's voices in my mind as if I were watching another episode. I'm excited to learn more about the Avatar universe, and watch Korra, Asami, and all the other characters continue to grow and develop with each other.

I expected it to be good, but instead it's great.
Format: Paperback
A surprisingly re-readable little book. I really look forward to part 2!
WRITING: Feels like a true continuation of the show. The characters and the world are just like a Season 5, Episode 1 might have been. Mako and Bolin were great together. Korra and Asami were great together. Of the supporting characters, I was glad to see Tenzin and Lin, and a little sad not to see Varrick or Wu. (Maybe they will fit naturally into the plot somewhere in book 2 or 3 of this series? If not, that's okay. It's better for writing to make sense than to have cameos.)
ART: Wow. Just the right amount of additional detail for the comic format. I love the clarity of these panels and the camera shots chosen for them. How each character feels shows in their face and body. How a fight scene unfolds can be seen--you can actually tell what the characters do when they fight. It's wonderful. (I'm a bit of a fight scene enthusiast.) Also, the spirit world was whimsical and gorgeous to behold. Nice variety of lush color palettes for each scene. The new characters have distinctive faces, and the new villain has very cool-looking weapons.

It's been three years.
Format: Paperback
This was a great read! It felt like I was actually watching an episode of Korra while flipping through this. Michael DiMartino did a good job at making the dialougue sound like it could've been part of a Korra script.
Of course the plot isn't going to be too dramatic since poor Korra already dealt with most of the worst situations ever in the show. The tone is much calmer, with much of the comic's focus being on Korra and Asami's budding relationship and a realistic conflict involving a greedy businessman wanting to turn the spirit portal into a tourist attraction. This comic is very much a suitable continuation of the show.
Irene Koh's art is so beautiful!! I love how it's not the typical children's comic cartoony style. I've heard that people have actually been complaining about how it's so different from the show's original style, but I personally think it's fitting and very charming. It gives it a more mature feel.
My main complaint is that it's too short. It took nearly three years after the finale for this comic to be released and it's only 80 pages! And the next part isn't going to be released until January! I guess me and other Korra fans are just going to have to stay patient for another 6 months or so.

I just finished reading Part One and can safely say that I was not at all disappointed. Reading this story felt like being welcomed home ...
Format: Paperback
To say that I was excited for this comic to be released is an understatement. I was waiting all day for it to be delivered and immediately ripped the package open once I got my hands on it. I just finished reading Part One and can safely say that I was not at all disappointed. Reading this story felt like being welcomed home into a world that I grew up in. I started watching the Avatar series when it first aired when I was nine years old. I grew up with those younger characters in ATLA and then spent my teenage years alongside the characters of The Legend of Korra. I was figuring myself out at the same time that Korra was. The finale when Korra and Asami got together came at the perfect time for me as I was still wrestling with my attraction towards multiple genders, especially to women, so to see two female characters (both of whom are also women of color) find comfort in one another and embark on a romantic journey together was everything to me.
This comic continued from that point beautifully. We see the infamous Korrasami vacation and it is absolutely stunning. The artwork in this comic jumps of the page. It fits in wonderfully with that of the animated series while still maintaining its own identity. The story itself acts as a set-up for what's to come, but we got another layer of world-building for this wonderful universe and the characters are still the people I remember from the end of the series. I adore every bit of it.
