By d. emerson eddy — Perhaps more than other forms of narrative fiction, comics has a penchant for reflexive meta storytelling. Comics that are built around a story of making comics, including portions of that comics-within-comics, but also integrating the fictional world of the comic within the comic as a kind of real place. The first two issues of Olympia from Tony Pires, Curt Pires, Alex Diotto, Dee Cunniffe, and Micah Myers do this beautifully by introducing us to a kid whose comic book hero, Olympian, unexpectedly crash lands in front of him. It plays with ideas of imagination, paying homage to Jack Kirby along the way, utilizing the old school comics framework as a second layer for storytelling. Olympia #3 is something different entirely.
