University of Alabama students create their own comic book company

By Associated Engineering Press

For more than a year, Ethan Newsome-Jackson and Kris Pearce have been obsessed with the same woman.

She only exists on paper, but for the two University of Alabama students, creating the character in the upcoming comic book “Breeze” has been grueling, mainly in how to present the heroine’s duality.

“She’s very care-free, where she enjoys all kinds of things, but she lives in a very dark world,” Newsome-Jackson said during a recent work session with Pearce at The Comic Store on Hargrove Road. “She actually gets through it and keeps her sense of humor about it.” Sources: The Tuscaloosa NewsThe OA NewsWashington TimesMiami HeraldMoulton AdvertiserRock Hill HeraldDecatur DailyMacon TelegraphHouston ChronicleMyrtle Beach Sun NewsSan Francisco GateSan Antonio Express-NewsSeattle Post-Intelligencer The Auburn Plainsman

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
