Noble Causes (Vol. 3)

    (Image, 2004-Present)
™ and © 2004 Jay Faerber & Jamal Igle

Bright, crisp illustration by Fran Bueno and Ron Riley help Jay Faerber spin the tale of the Nobles, a mini–dynasty of rich celebrity super–heroes complete with patriarch Doc Noble, wife Gaia, sons Rusty and Race, daughter Zephyr, and miscellaneous spouses, ex–spouses, lovers, illegitimate children, and so on. Noble Causes is a character–driven ensemble piece dishing out the drama and intrigue going on behind–the–scenes in the lives of the stalwart superstars. This ongoing color monthly began in July 2004 after three one–shots and three four–issue mini–series. The creators plan to abstain from the extra–dimensional contrivances used in the earlier narratives while continuing to pursue individual story lines for all the various members of the Noble crew.
