This is fantastic! Will the comic feature different characters in different issues, or are these going to be the main characters throughout?

Every 6 issues of FAIREST will be its own story arc. You'll have these characters for 6 issues, then a new story will be told with different characters.

Ali Baba has quite a resemblance to Ray Liotta...

Why do people feel the need to mention a possible likeness with a celebrity each an every time ? I'd rather read about how you feel about this piece, it would be much more interesting

Sh!t, sorry. I only brought it up after noticing that no one else mentioned it. For something more stimulating I will say: if not everyone is crying, "OMG, Ray Liotta!" then I would venture to guess he is not so well known by the artist's audience. Therefore, what role did he even play that inspired his replication here? That is, how did he jump from 20th century American gangster to medieval Arabian hero? Shouldn't a middle eastern actor model for Ali Baba? Is this an attempt at a culturally accurate work, or is middle eastern culture used as a template for a romantic fantasy, following the footsteps of Delacroix in the 19th century? Does the artist make the distinction between reality and fantasy clear? How does the audience know? Is the middle east stereotyped by such depictions, intentionally or otherwise? What do celebrities think of their likenesses used in art? Are they flattered? Is it legal? Does someone own their proper likeness, or is it free to mimic? Even the seemingly superficial details have meaning because the artist gives them meaning: nothing is arbitrary in art. If Ali Baba's resemblance to Ray Liotta was not important, the artist would not have depicted him in such a way.
