Leading Edge, Issue 76 Elizabeth Whatcott

In an homage to the Icarus myth, Isaac tricks the crowd into believing that what they see is true and gains the power of flight. A genie with insomnia passes the time in his lamp by writing in his diary. A time traveler and an immortal fall in love as the traveler jumps through time. The fall of the last ogre in existence is retold in rhyme. Two editorials explore writing strong, varied female characters and the development of the Hero's Journey in Japanese RPGs. This issue also includes the winner of our genre-mashup art contest and an interview with author Sarah Rees Brennan.
