Predictable. Normal. Boring. Most days in Farmington are like any day in any small town in the heartland, but Abel is used to it. He runs his paper route, tries to keep up with schoolwork, and aims to stay on the good side of a volatile single parent. One fateful day, however, Abel's ideas of normalcy, safety, and security are blown away as a storm levels Farmington just as quickly as it appears. What's more, the storm is chasing Abel — and it knows his name.Middlewest is an adult Fantasy Comic Book series written by Skottie Young, illustrated by Jorge Corona, and published by Image Comics. The series follows Abel, a young boy living in a small town, and his ally, an unnamed fox, as he journeys across the farthest unknown reaches of the Middlewest. After his father infects him with the Heart of a Storm, Abel must seek help from several mystical people and creatures to find answers as to how to remove the Heart of a Storm from his body before it causes damage to those he's grown close to.Middlewest is an 18 issue miniseries, which have been compiled into three collections and one omnibus.The covers of the first six issues were drawn by Mike Huddleston. | |

Atomic F-Bomb | |
| Middlewest (Comic Book) / int_2497e5b8 | comment |
Atomic F-Bomb: In the first issue, eventually shouted by Abel, after Dale tells him that he was the reason his mother left. Made even cooler with the fact that the winds are picking up. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Middlewest (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Abel ends up politely disowning his father despite his pleas, but now has a massive new Family of Choice in the form of the carnies and freed slave children, who consider him a hero and a leader, and he parts with his father on good terms, forgiving him despite cutting him out of his life. Dale accepts Abel’s choice with the hope they can eventually rebuild their relationship and he plans to work on healing himself. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Middlewest (Comic Book) / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Nicolas Raider and his employees have no qualms about using lethal child labour, personally killing rebellious workers. Abel's grandfather is more than happy to beat the crap out of him for not being "tough". | |

Fantasy Americana | |
| Middlewest (Comic Book) / int_533d53a0 | comment |
Fantasy Americana: It's chock-full of fantastical elements that go unnoticed for the most part. For example, people are taken aback whenever Abel or his father transform, but nobody ever bats an eyelash at the talking fox Abel travels with. | |

Resentful Guardian: Dale. It’s deconstructed in the end when he tells Abel that it was wrong of him to blame his son for what he did. | |

Magic Realism: It's set in an America where animals can talk, fantastic creatures like trolls exist, autonomous robots are a common thing, and it's all treated like it's a regular part of day-to-day life. | |
