THE WIRE FOREVER

Ghost Kiss episode 5 This is where the comic started to make sense for me. Oh, its a romantic comedy! With superheroes! Duh! Of course Mya is ready to move forward with her relationship after basically one date. Of course. Mya's dad is Lester Freamon from The Wire. That's cannon. He appears briefly in my other comics, Modest Medusa, as well. I'm still working on Mya's hair. It changes every episode. This is the first time we see her winter outfit, which is just the addition of a jacket and a hat. But it looks good! Lucky Strike was my favorite restaurant in Portland. The Pepper Chicken Bath was spicey in a good way. You were meant to take shots of whiskey between each bite. I'm so sad it closed. Read Episode 1 here Read episode 6 here

List of my The Wire faves so far, categorically speaking:

Hella neat!: Omar Little, Shakima Greggs, Cedric Daniels, Lester Freamon, Shardene Innes, D’Angelo Barksdale

Bastard (affectionate): Russell “Stinger” Bell, Avon Barksdale

If a character’s not in this list, it means I either don’t like, don’t care for or don’t remember them.

So I did this personality quiz a while ago at https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters, where it uses psychometric testing to work out which popular fictional characters you're most like.

I got Lester Freamon from the Wire as my number one. At the time I couldn't really remember him, but I didn't really think it was right. But I'm now re-watching season one of The Wire, and I 100% see it. Especially at work, I basically have been Lester Freamon in all of the conpanies/teams I've worked in ever.

On a side note, the Wire's aged pretty well, it's still good.
