Updated: Journalists from Ukraine were recognized with a 2022 Pulitzer Prize special citation, while jurors of journalism’s top honors also recognized coverage of the January 6th attacks on the Capitol, the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Surfside condominium collapse in Florida.
The Washington Post won a public service award for The Attack, its in-depth look at the siege of the Capitol, which the jurors said was “a thorough and unflinching understanding of one of the nation’s darkest days.”
The New York Times won three prizes in national reporting, international reporting and criticism. Marcus Yam, photographer at the Los Angeles Times, won for breaking news photography of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. There were actually two winners in the breaking news photography category, as photographers from Getty Images also won for their photos of the attack on the Capitol.

This series so far has been…ok. Not bad in any way, in fact there have been a few nice moments, but it has never raised itself above a certain level. Partly I think this is because even though it is an Assassin’s Creed book, Assassin’s Creed Origins has very little of Assassin’s Creed about it, focusing as it does on the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients, the forerunners of the Assassins and Templars. Speaking as an Assassin’s Creed fan, I have missed the mythology that runs through the stories, the Animus, Abstergo, there has at times just has not been enough to hold my attention. I will admit though that the historian in me has enjoyed the setting, and seeing real historical personalities drawn into the Creed world. That’s been fun.

Still on the fence a little with this book so far. Sure, the writing and artwork are not bad, pretty good in fact, but so far I am not really seeing a story that had to be told. Once we get over the novelty of seeing real historical personalities interacting with our fictional heroes Aya and Bayek, there’s so far not been a whole lot more. Although the Assassin’s Creed Origins game firmly linked Aya and Bayek’s story to the forming of a proto-Assassins Brotherhood, the Hidden Ones, to fight the proto-Templar Order of the Ancients, two issues in this has not really been a factor yet, other than a brief reference here or there.
One aspect I have enjoyed is Aya herself. Full of zeal and enthusiasm, and certainly a degree of ability,...

The historical angle has always been what has given Assassin’s Creed its unique ‘thing’, the clever weaving of historical fact with Assassin’s Creed fiction. Real people interacting with Creed created characters. Previous games in the relatively recent past have been pretty straightforward, with a reasonable amount of documentary evidence to base things on. When I saw the Origins game was going to be based back in ancient Egypt, I thought that both interesting and a bit of a reach. Would that work? Could it? This isn’t Assassins/Templar history, this is pre-Assassin/Templar history. Well, the game worked fine, so could the comic?
This book is a sequel of sorts to the events of the game. Aya and Bayek have avenged the death of their son, but opened another can of worms with the...

Titan Comics' "Assassin's Creed: Origins" #2, available April 11, 2018, is written by Anthony Del Col and illustrated by Pj Kaiowa, with covers by Kaiowa and Toni Infante:
"...in Egypt, during the turbulent final years of the 'Ptoelemaic' period, 'Bayek of Siwa' and his wife 'Aya' eliminated those responsible for the death of their son. But their quest for retribution led them to uncover the secretive 'Order of the Ancients', and its plans to control all of Egypt and beyond.
"Aware of the magnitude of the threat the Order poses towards the freedom of all people, Bayek and Aya parted ways to dedicate their lives towards building a brotherhood to resist the power of the Order. Known as the 'Hidden Ones', they work from the shadows.
"With the city of Rome as her new base of operations, Aya has already enlisted the help of a number of like-minded individuals to her cause, including senators 'Brutus' and 'Cassius'.

Seems an age since I reviewed an Assassin’s Creed title, which is a shame as I really enjoy the Assassins Creed universe. Love the games, the novelisations, most of the comics and didn’t hate the movie, though many seemed too. Assassin’s Creed strength has always been twofold. Firstly, the ability to mine any era of history and fit the Assassins/Templar/Precursor narrative into it, using a mixture of fiction and fact. The interweaving of real historical people into the stories is also genius, though their Templar or Assassin affiliation is of course fictional….we think. Secondly, there is the modern aspect. The game within a game as it were, as we also deal with storylines in the ‘real’ world, the modern day, as the historical adventure is used as the backdrop to modern...
