I'm going to start with Kingdom Come, because the artwork is some of my all-time favorite, and because I'm nothing if not a cheap whore for apocalyptic future stories. I'll be posting a number of other pages over the next few days, because *pretty.* Today's pages: 18 and 31 of the trade paperback. Kingdom Come is set in the nearish future, with lots more metahumans, many of whom don't care so much about the protecting humans stuff. Superman retired because humans liked the badass superhero-types better, and the younger ones got more and more out of control. The big tipping point that pulls the older heroes out of retirement is the nuclear destruction of Kansas and many nearby states when a metahuman battle gets massively out of control. The old man featured so prominently is Our Narrator, a preacher who's questioning his faith and is having scary apocalyptic dreams. The guy with him is the Spectre, who's apparently been charged with assigning blame for the upcoming apocalypse and dealing out punishment. And...that's probably enough for the moment. Because, *dude.* You have to love the cheesy fun of Planet Krypton. I am endlessly amused by the Jesus pose in the bottom left panel, so I had to include it. Alex Ross is fabulously talented, but subtle he is *not.*fkthefakeheadline' im ihkrobin loves gay porn? i i &DjkEdc, mark waid, clark kent, alex ross, kingdom come, superman, spectre v! ilkKingdom Come miniseries (DC)mk Today's pages: 33 and 63. The former shows WW visiting Superman to tell him about the whole ugly destruction of Kansas thing. He's in a virtual reality farm. The "him" they're talking about is Magog, the one who's indirectly responsible for the nuking, and also for Supes going into exile. The summary: Joker came to Metropolis and went on a killing spree, and one of the victims was Lois Lane. Supes and Magog both went after him, but Magog got there first - and killed the Joker dead. A jury, and pretty much the whole city, preferred Magog's way, and so Clark decided to retire. The latter is the first appearance of the new League. Not pictured is Robin, who decided to ally himself with Clark.

The premise: in 1602, unusually powered beings oddly similar to ones we're familiar with in the 20th century are appearing. There's some strange weather, and dinosaurs wandering around. Queen Elizabeth assigns Sir Nicholas Fury to investigate. FYI: Spider-man is Fury's young assistant, Peter Parquagh, who has no powers (though Gaiman is having a lot of fun faking us out). The mutants are called Witchbreed, and the X-men consist of Charles Javier and the original five in various guises. Stephen Strange is a doctor/mystic. Captain America is an unusually blond Native American named Rohjaz (get it? get it?). mrabican ij imspider-man and ink- blobs.

Filler Bunny was a character created by Jhonen Vasquez, creator of the cartoon Invader Zim, the two-issue comic I Feel Sick (VERY highly recommended by me), and the continuing title Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (not so highly recommended. It annoys me.) Anyway, Filler Bunny appeared in the comics as... filler, whenever there was a extra page or so. Anyway, in "Filler Bunny Special #1" Filler Bunny is brought out of suspended animation and forced to entertain the ungrateful reader for 24 pages. Unfortunately he was only designed to be a *filler* bunny and so this causes him great amounts of agonizing pain. ^_^ Sick, sick, sick and very funny.     m liviapenn i im harley: saneE@ i i lQmjhonen vasquezRO .v imEGotham Knights: Transference... aka What Were the Editors Thinking?!?mAt the request of and ... Background: Gotham Knights: Transference (GK 8-11, I think. Or is it 9-12?) is Devin Grayson's subtext-what-subtext masterpiece. The plot is simple: Psychotic psychologist Doctor Hugo Strange, one of the few villains to know Batman's secret identity, has decided to eliminate Bruce Wayne and become the Batman himself. He does just that, so he thinks, as Batman is involved in a fiery explosion before hundreds of witnesses -- including Dick Grayson and Tim Drake. But while Nightwing and Robin battle this new and very insane "Batman" and discover some very revealing personal files, notably one on Dick Grayson, on the Batcomputer, Bruce Wayne shows up. But a Bruce Wayne who has no idea he's Batman, Dick's Nightwing, or that anything funny's going on in the basement. Hugo and his crew capture and subdue Nightwing and Robin and hold a terrified Bruce Wayne hostage. Before completing his assuption of the Batmantle, Hugo quizzes a bound Nightwing about the psychology of the Batfamily and on his relationship with the Bat... Mind you, this is Hugo dressed up as Batman: ... "But you wish he was." End of the story: Nightwing and Robin manage to get a still-clueless Bruce Wayne back home safely, although Dick in particular is disturbed by the contents of the file on the computer and the fact that Bruce really doesn't know that he's Batman. The memory-loss problem is solved -- it was a form of auto-hypnosis designed to fool Hugo as well as Dick and Tim -- and a restored Bruce half-explains the computer files and comments on how Dick has no relationship with "Bruce Wayne"... and neither does he. For all the crap I usually give Devin Grayson about her Nightwing-lust, she's added a few shades of scary into the usual mix. Dick's behavior when he thinks Bruce is dead is frightening and bordering on suicidal. For all of his peerless leadership of both the Titans and the JLA, Dick really isn't prepared to handle Bruce's death in the line of duty. (Something both Joe Kelly (JLA's Obsidian Age arc) and Judd Winick (Outsiders and the death of Donna Troy) have picked up and used.)mmiss_porcupinemamused,mCopier of DoommFoggy throttling Matt (DD 43)I i i m1dc, roger robinson, gotham knights, devin graysonSP M7 imFastest Boys Alive...mOkay, I feel mildly like a creep for posting this link when it's not my scan... but then, the person who's using it to peddle the issue on eBay patently didn't scan it themselves, either, as the image shows just the cover art, without the series title or any other indicia. http://66.223.105.209/images/items/18513.jpg This is the cover art for Teen Titans issue 7.

I'm getting pretty obsessed with the Jason arc (the *post*-Crisis version of the arc, that is), because there's just so *much* there in terms of Batfamily dynamics. This first scan... well, some context. Dick has become Nightwing (I'm with when it comes to the first Nightwing uniform -- Dick pretty much stole it out of Freddie Mercury's dressing room, man.), and he's visiting. It's been 18 months since Bruce pretty much *fired* him and gave the no-more-Robin speech, and Dick is understandably a bit eager to find out why there *is* a new Robin. Bruce talks a good game. The meeting with Jason was accidental, and he helped Bruce with a case, and besides, Jason clearly had a lot of rage about being an orphan. He reminded Bruce of himself as a child, and Bruce thinks he's done the boy some good. Dick: "Bull!" Bruce responds with "Batman needs a Robin" and "I couldn't do the job alone." Dick is having *none* of it. "I said I wanted the truth!" You know, for me? Yeah, the slash rocks my socks. The doomed, painful, angsty slash. But what about *Jason*? Okay, sure, you missed Dick, and that makes perfect sense to me, but *Bruce*... *this is not the way to cope with your loss*! Anyway, other bits in this issue I enjoyed include this moment with Dick and Jason. You know, just one of the nine hundred bazillion reasons to heart Dick. Or want to *kick* him, because, really, Dick, go ahead, *cement* the Bruce-Jason connection, now that you *know* it was made under so many layers of false principles the Batcave is *groaning* with them and okay, it's possible that I'm taking this all too seriously. *koff* And then there's the ending. Okay, Bruce, really, what were you thinking? What were you *thinking*? I love this issue, man. Sets up the pain and melodrama that'll be plaguing the Batfamily for *years* to come. Jason, you were so doomed, baby.#nthete1 ig%n3Hawksley Workman: "Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off"&nbruce/jason doom/6@ i i (n(dc, batman, jason todd, nightwing, robinb_ ^b i*n Random Scans+n I watched the Cartoon Network version of the Mr. Freeze movie the other day. It was a hoot. At one point, Batman and Robin are handling this caper, and Alfred radios them and informs them that they're late for a charity gala. So what do they do? Swing by the waiting limo, change into their civvies in the car, and arrive perfectly groomed and ready to party in the nick of time. My friend was like 'That Grayson. What a 'Society Guy'. And then we were laughing as we pictured them changing in the back of the limo. Changing. Naked. In the limo. Together. With eyes very averted and much useless small talk, I'm sure. Gawd, I'm such a dork. Scans time! Batman: The Killing Joke Without context, this looks really wrong. Batman: Year One This panel cracked me up. First the pushups, and then the 'doing them in front of a relaxing Alfred' and the then the tights comment. I like Alfred. He's good people.

Both pages are from the Smallville comic (yes, it's a tie-in with the TV series) that DC puts out every other month. Issue #6 featured "Id," story which included a flashback to how Lex got from the downed plane to the island. Mmm, Lex. All wet and half-drowned in his suit. I have flashbacks to the pilot episode of Smallville when I look at this first page, myself. "Id" page 1 The site I found these at has the unaltered artwork, meaning that the narrative boxes and speech bubbles, which the letterer adds, are not on the page. Here's what Lex is thinking: Panel 1 "IT WAS DARK... "AND QUIET... "AND WARM. Panel 2 "NOT A BAD WAY TO GO... Panel 3 [no caption] Panel 4 "BUT MY SURVIVAL INSTINCT HAD OTHER IDEAS. Panel 5 [no caption] Panel 6 "IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST TIME THAT I CURSED THAT INSTINCT." The page 2 artwork isn't available, apparently. That page shows Lex swimming to some debris and getting his beearings, using the compass Jonathan had given him. "Id" page 3 And here's Lex's 'voiceover' for this page: Panel 1 "...I AWOKE ON A BEACH. Panel 2 "I WAS SAVED. Panel 3 "OR SO I THOUGHT. Panel 4 "THE ISLAND WAS EMPTY, AND I WAS ALONE. "NOW HOPELESS, A SINGLE DESIRE CONSUMED ME. Panel 5 "...WATER."

It's great fun if you have a fast connection or nigh-infinite patience. The first comic there I made it all the way through was Detective Comics #765; I didn't think any of it was especially suited to excerpting for , though I did get a bunch of icons out of it, most of which are still up for grabs. Detective Comics Annual #4 was another story entirely. The story itself isn't the best read -- who enjoys seeing a favourite character killed by a massive plot hole, even if the story is clearly marked as only a 'possible future'? -- but oh, there is entertainment of a (perhaps) unintended sort in some of the old-school art.
page 4, panel 5: Batman looks entirely too happy. And hungry.
We don't see Batman's new boyfriend for awhile, but when he does turn back up 45 pages later, things get hot and heavy again pretty quick.
page 49, panel 5: The big guy does have a pretty nice ass.    page 49, panel 6: Apparently 'felled me' is Comics-Code-compliant-speak for 'I fellated.'
He's going to be gentle. It's almost... romantic.
page 50, panels 1 & 2: I suppose Batman is demonstrating some martial arts technique where you fend off your attacker by rubbing your ass against him?

Kon then tosses his towel on the floor and leaves. Tim crouches down, clutches the towel to his face and breathes deeply. (Okay, so what's actually shown on the page is Tim picking up the towel and plucking one of Kon's hairs out of it. But you know he was sniffing that towel for Kon-scent immediately after in the panel that didn't make it into the book.) I usually don't make a point of noting it -- and oftentimes the individual artist(s) aren't credited for colouring work, even nowadays -- but Teen Titans is currently graced by the deft hand of colourist Jeromy Cox.

Second, Black Orchid focuses on the title character, but it is firmly set in the DC universe and thus has quite a few neat little cameos. and of course: Heh. Batman as spectre. Perhaps, however, not the page you'd think I'd post. Heh. Batman and some fun with word association. (Not sure why I picked this one; mostly I think it just reiterates the point that Bats is just a weeeee bit off his rocker.) I have some minor issues with Arkham Asylum (creepy and oddly pretty as it is), namely the fact that the characters all seem just a little...off. Not like, insane "off", because ha!, but just slightly out of character. Harvey, for example, seems more like himself in Black Orchid. To me, anyway.

Especially since it's such a good frame (and Bruce had been such a FREAK), that it's not all that difficult for *some* members of the family to be all, "uh... what if he did?" Like Tim. It doesn't help that Bruce has, at this point in the storyline, completely failed to communicate with anyone. So, after the *first* argument with the Timster, Dick goes to talk to Babs about things, and gets rightfully thwapped, and... I love this issue so much. *sigh* Anyway, yes, rightfully thwapped with the fact that Tim doesn't have much reason to trust Bruce at this point, and besides, Bruce was never the be-all and end-all for Tim that he was for Dick. Because Tim? *Had* Dick. Anyway. Yeah. I love what Devin Grayson does with the birdboy relationship here, building on and deepening everything that's gone on before. Oh, the ANGST.

I'm fairly certain these have yet to be put up because I tried to look through all the back entries, I really did . . . There's a whole long page of him chasing after this bad guy. And. He's so cute. And very much so has a crush on Robin. Could not get that part of the page to scan. Tim is all w00bie and angsty and cute. Yes. This is a page from the first book of "Dykes to Watch Out For" by Alison Bechdel, part of which has this thing kind of like Edward Gorey's Gashly Crumb Tinies where there's just letters of the alphabet starting with people's names . . . I liked this one in particular because she looks so much like she's either about to twitch, or grin evilly. And it's Death. OMGHEART! Who is a comic book character. Except this one of her is from my 2003 Sandman King of Dreams calendar. I couldn't find one for 2004. *sob* Ah. So. I'm doing an English project on GLBTQ (gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-queer for anyone who doesn't do the acronym) comics, comic books, comic book creators, etc. I love my English class. At any rate. I have a bunch of comics to look into and things for a visual presentation and have in fact ordered a few back issues of stuff that might not get here in time and so was wondering if anyone had scans or recommendations of stuff that I should look at. Already have about ten million things of "Dykes to Watch Out For" courtesy of a friend, a bunch of Howard Cruse stuff, and some classic Wonder Woman just for fun . . . (yeah, I know.) And some Neil Gaiman things because "Murder Mysteries" and the Death TPBs are great. But! I don't have much information on creators and other comics and things and I especially wanted the Green Lantern arc with Terry Berg. I cry. Also, I'd like people's input about GLBTQ issues and characters etc etc in comics if they want to give them. Even some reading-between-the-lines. Because I know you all really like to do that . . . Thanks to anyone who got down this far. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated and I would absolutely lavish praise etc on you. Mostly praise and adoration.

Anyway, I've just paged through umpteen gazillion Harley comics. There's a ton of cheesecake, but I picked these because they shine some light on their relationship.

From Batman Gotham Adventures #10: Harley has been declared "sane" and has signed a major book deal. The TV news claims it will be a tell-all memoir--at which the Joker flips out completely. On the following page he slides down Poison Ivy's beanstalk (read what you like into that image) before she can escape. Oh, and Harley's book turns out to be a romance novel about a caped crusader named Owl-Man. *grins*
From Harley Quinn #14: Harley and Ivy are on the run from half of Gotham, so where do they go? Metropolis. Where they torture Thorn and scare the hell out of Jimmy Olsen. This is while Clark Kent is in eastern Europe covering the General Zod / Pokolistan thing.
And from Gotham Girls #3: Harley's daydreaming pretending to listen while Ivy lectures about the importance of the vial of toxin they've just spent the issue recovering from Catwoman & Batgirl.

TLG was much more of a comedy than X-F, and "Patriots" is freakin' hilarious (and has GREAT character design as well); it was written by Jane Espenson, who also wrote some of the funniest episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". In case you know the Gunmen from X-F but never watched "The Lone Gunmen", the spinoff introduced two additonal characters you should know and lurve: Jimmy Bond, the Gunman's financial backer/would-be sidekick with the heart, loyalty, and relative intelligence of a Labrador retriever puppy, and Yves Adele Harlow (an anagram for "Lee Harvey Oswald"), a mysterious, morally ambiguous hottie with wicked espionage skills whose favorite pastime seems to be slinking into the Gunmen's offices to taunt them in her snarky British fashion. P.S.--I will never forgive Chris Carter for the way he 'resolved' the dangling plotlines of "The Lone Gunmen" in the X-F episode "Jump the Shark". NEVER EVER EVER WAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'll be over here in my corner.) Onto the scans! Full pages Pot. Kettle. Black. Plus: fanboys! Yves' slinking and taunting: case in point. ETA: Eeep. For some reason, this one is huge. I just adore their beatific smiles. It's Langly! And he's wearing the dress! Even funnier in context.

As of this issue (v2 #35) she had recently come to stay with the Doom Patrol to learn how to control her powers. She seems to be somewhere between 10 and 16 depending on who's drawing her, and has facial deformities that vary between mild and severe for the same reason. Cliff "I don't go by Robotman anymore" Steele: One of the members of the original, 60s Doom Patrol, Cliff Steele is a racecar driver whose brain was put into a robot body after the original was destroyed in a crash. At the beginning of Grant Morrison's run on the title, Cliff had had a nervous breakdown and checked himself into a psychiatric hospital, where he met.... ...Crazy Jane, whose 64 personalities were each granted a different metahuman ability when the Dominators detonated something called the Gene Bomb. Rebis: To cut short an elaborate backstory, Rebis was created when an alien known as the Negative Spirit nonconsensually merged itself into a single body with recuperating test pilot Larry Trainor and his doctor Eleanor Poole. Sie (the awkward pronoun is canonical) is wrapped in specially treated bandages to protect others from the green radiation sie constantly emits. (I love DC science.)

Rhea Jones joined the Doom Patrol shortly after the title's revival in 1987. She went by Lodestone and had magnetic powers. (Which are as subject to feature creep in the DC as the Marvel universe: "I can link my body's magnetic field to the earth's to reinforce it and make me super-strong... not to mention leap higher than any high jumper!") At the time Grant Morrison took over the title, she was in a coma, and this is how she wakes up. Warning: Rhea's appearance is a little disturbing, and not work-safe.

It was pretty damn popular, so they re-released it in '96 as a graphic novel -- thicker cover and an afterword by Mr. Morrison on how he decided to write it. It's about a girl. And a boy. Named Girl and Boy. Who meet and drink vodka and decide that Girl's life would be better if she just got rid of that pathetic boyfriend. After that particular crime spree, they go on the road, meet up with art-terrorists, and eventually end up in a standoff at the Blackpool tower. As the back of the book says: "Boy meets Girl. Girl falls for Boy. Boy takes Girl on violent rampage through English suburb. Murder, sex, drugs, and anarchy follow."

Marvel used to have a series called "What If," about ... er, what ifs. Issue 13 was: "What if Professor X had Become the Juggernaut?" For those of you who don't know, the Juggernaut is the person possessed by the mystical Gem of Cyttorak, which grants him near-infinite strength and complete invulnerability. In standard continuity, the Juggernaut is Professor X's half-brother. In this AU where Xavier became Juggernaut, things were somewhat drastically changed; one of the things he did was to eliminate all the non-mutant superpowers on Earth, either through forcibly curing them of their powers (the FF, Hulk, Daredevil) or other, less benevolent means (Giant-Man, the Wasp, Dr. Doom). Some, like Thor and Namor, were so far outside the scope of human affairs that Xavier didn't notice them. Now, one particularly famous non-mutant superhero hasn't been mentioned, and I omitted him deliberately. ... Is it just me, or does Spidey get short shrift here?

The "plot" apparently involved the surreptitious transfer of red kryptonite from Lois's lips to those of the Justice League to save Krypto from the effects of green kryptonite...It was 1961. It's probably a coincidence that it's Ollie who gets to kiss her--and rather too long, apparently--on the cover; he didn't even have his current rep yet.

And apropos of absolutely nothing, a random page of ''Inuyasha'' that made me giggle, because I am a dork, Yep, that's Inuyasha by Rumiko Takahashi, the gothic horror-romance-comedy manga/anime series reminiscent of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with some time travel and Magic Swords of Dooooom thrown in. Black-haired ponytail boy in fur skirt loincloth = Kouga, arrogant & thick-headed but lovable wolf-demon guy, can run really fast through the air like a small furry tornado. Girl in school uniform = Kagome, time-traveling all-around-lovable Japanese schoolgirl, Our Plucky Heroine, reluctant object of Kouga's affections. Mister Flat = Inuyasha, arrogant & moody but lovable half-dog-demon guy, Our Badass Hero, Kagome's pseudo-boyfriend, not held in any sort of mutual affection by Kouga. oops I wish I knew A)where I found this scan online, B)what issue this is from, and C)Japanese so I could tell what they are saying. ;P Best guess: Kouga bounced down out of the sky to say hello to His Woman Kagome, and en route landed on Inuyasha.

Amazingly (er ... pretend I did that on purpose), Ultimate Spidey is even more neurotic than his counterpart, and equally lovable. The comic is written by Brian Michael Bendis and is for the most part, sheer mildly-over-the-top brilliance. You want to see creepy Norman Osborn - Peter Parker interaction pared down to its most minimalistically disturbing? You read Ultimate Spider-man. You want Spider-man telling the Kingpin he bleeds marshmellow fluff instead of blood and making it the funniest lame wisecrack ever? You read Ultimate Spider-man. You want a shameless movie tie-in that actually works brilliantly? Yep, USM is where you'll find it. USM #54 just came out; it starts the arc called "Hollywood," and I've scanned a few bits below. All you need to know is that Gwen Stacy is living with Peter and his aunt after her father's death, and thinks Spider-man killed him; Peter is dating Mary Jane.  prabican i i pteen angst spidey style.)a@ i i p8marvel, ultimate spider-man, ultimate marvel, spider-man bV5d i ipSo, I downloaded some issues of New Teen Titans (ca. 1980), and in issue #9, they go up against The Puppeteer.

Inside the listing for Batman: Harley & Ivy reads: The long-awaited Paul Dini-Bruce Timm miniseries exploring the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy kicks off this spring--at last! Batman: Harley & Ivy offers new insight into the interrelationship of Batman's sexiest adversaries. (Apr-May $2.50) The listing from CSN's April issue reads: Batman: Harley & Ivy #1 (ships 4/28) The highly anticipated miniseries by Paul Dini & Bruce Timm - the superstar creators of Batman the Animated Series - kicks off! A snafu by Harley sends Poison Ivy back to Arkham, and Ivy swears off working with Harley forever. But Harley won't take no for an answer, so when Ivy breaks out and heads to South America, Harley's right behind her.

I've finally got access to a scanner, so I'm thrilled to be able to really be part of this community. To try and scew the bias towards DC a bit, I've chosen some Uncanny X-men scans. With Chuck Austen as the current writer, most of the current Uncanny X-men stories have been utter crap, but I did manage to find these gems. Context: Both Northstar and Juggernaut have recently become X-men, and Juggernaut needs to fly up to Canada to visit a mutant kid he'd made friends with at the X-mansion, but who was taken away by the Canadian government for some weird reason that Chuck Austen pulled out of his ass. Unfortunately, none of the regular X-men are available to take him up north, thanks to another evil plot Austen pulled out of his ass, so Northstar gets pulled from teaching classes to fly him. Neither one is happy about this; snarkiness ensues. Jean-Paul/Cain. Possibly the only good thing to come out of Austen's entire run, IMHO.

My Batman collection is small, but my Marvel stuff....too much Marvel stuff to count anymore. Anyhow, Chris Claremont wrote a mini-series for Marvel a few years back called Contest of the Champions II. It was a normal 'let's see how many of our characters can kick the crap out of our other characters!' story. Anyway, as the heroes wait to murder...I mean....fight fairly with each other, they each our treated to their heart's desire....or something. Storm (from the X-Men) is happiest with her 'best friend' Yukio. carousel?? Kitty would be happiest with her 'best friend' Illyana....unfortunately Kitty's sick. yeah...

Then, in the late '80s, they tried another parody comic, What The--?!. Marvel taking the piss out of their own characters and plots (not to mention DC's) was very appealing, and I was a big fan. And while it's where Scott Lobdell and Aaron Lopresti got their starts, it never sold very well, and eventually was ignonimously canceled in 1990-something. And then, in the mid '90s, Marvel tried again, with Marvel Riot. Now it... didn't sell at all, and just had the one issue. But what an issue! Devoted completely to parodying their recent hit cross-over, Age of Apocalypse, it didn't let anything go... You know, this is so typical of Nate throughout his series...

I love sharing the squee. From #10 a little speech Peter gives Bobby while they're being held in Weapon X. "Imagine you're the most dangerous mutant in the world...." From #15, Xavier talks about Logan and Peter going out together at night. For humanitarian reasons. Yep. From #16, Logan, Peter and Bobby are on a mission together, and Bobby's mom isn't happy about it. Logan and Mrs. Drake talk on the cellphone, and agree that Peter is good-looking. Heh. From Ultimate War #2, in which Jean talks about how much she misses Scott. And Peter? Well, he says he can't wait to see Wolverine again. Hee. And one of favorite moments, from #29. Peter comes very close to telling Logan how he feels about him. Logan doesn't wanna go there. *g* (But the part where Peter says he knows Logan wouldn't betray his fellow X-Men? *sniffle*) This pic is big.eq devildoll iu igqangryz@ i i iq8marvel, ultimate marvel, x-men, colossus, ultimate x-men 1 ikq Colossus lovelqI feel compelled to add another scan to the bout of Peter and his Ultimate Gayness, shown here and here, especially since he is one of my favorite X-Men. Apparently now it's common knowledge that Peter is gay, or Storm is just particularly observant. Of course, the intensity that he went off on Magneto was... well, quite noticeable. Now, while I'd love to see some actual canon Peter/Logan I know there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that they'd ever do that, what with Logan's popularity and all. Could you imagine the fan reaction to that? But, damnit, he can't just be the token gay character that never gets any lovin'! I really think they should write some Peter/Warren.

I'm a huge Kitty/Rachel Summers 'shipper, and certain recent events in X-Treme X-Men have made me extremely happy. So . . . This is from Excalibur #75 (way back in 1994): Rachel (Jean and Scott's daughter from the future, avatar for the Phoenix force at the time) is about to sacrifice herself to save Captain Britain from the timestream. This will result in her being flung several thousand years into the future, where she starts a resistance movement against Apocolypse and eventually dies of old age. She and Kitty say goodbye: awww This is from X-Treme X-Men #44 (two weeks ago): However, due to one of Marvel's lovely little twists, the timeline where Rachel dies becomes negated. In 2001 she is returned to the present time, but they barely use her before she fades into limbo-dom (probably due to her confusing history). Then, this past month, the Mystery Telepath who has been creepy Elias Bogan's slave and tool against the X-Men is defeated, and revealed to be: double awww *sniffle* Ten long years (real time) and they're finally back together. Now I want that kiss hello, dammit. Yeah, I realize Rachel isn't very well-known or anything.

As usual, Batman gets himself gassed, but, well, he copes. He acknowledges his fears and moves on, getting the job done. Of course, no amount of coping skills can help when the bad thing really *does* happen. Lucius' stroke was real.

However, New X-men #139 is still one of those issues that I still can't read without tearing up at least a little bit. Context: Jean Grey has just discovered Emma Frost and Scott are having a mental affair. She barges into Emma's mind right when Emma and Scott are mid-mental-coitus, and proceeds to throw Scott out and basically make war on Emma's mind. She barges into Emma's memories, looking for what happened between Emma and Scott and rooting through some of Emma's most painful memories. This next bit takes place immediately after Jean storms out of Emma's room. Logan comes in to comfort her. *sniffle* It's just so... so... WAH! I am a huge Emma fan, and this last scen just gets me every. Damn. Time. And Logan is so sweet here, I just love it. I also love the way this artist draws Logan: short, grizzly but not ugly, and with Hugh Jackman hair. Nice. ETA: The first three scans are pretty hard to read *grumble grumble stupid photobucket grumble grumble,* so I'm providing the words: 1st scan, 1st panel: Emma: Why am I telling you this? Jean: You're not. It's just happening that way. Emma: The Helffire Club was hiring dancers, and since i could make men see whatever I wanted them to see, my graceless efforts were automatically declared a modern dance of the seven veils by my mesmerized onlookers at my audition. 3rd Panel: Emma: Dear Sebastian... he thought he was in charge. He thought I was absolutely besotted with him... completely misreading my desire for a brilliant, ruthless father substitute as love. Together we seized control of the club from Buckman and that old tart Paris Seville. 4th Panel: And you set about building your empire of mutants... 5th Panel: To which end, I became exactly what SEbastian wanted... The Ice Queen, the dominatrix from hell... and I watched how he did business. I learved how simple and predictable the desires of men can be. 2nd scan, first panel: Emma: Which is absolutely NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Scott came to me because he couldn't talk to you about his feelings! Because the truth is you don't know what ordinary feelings are anymore! You're not human at all now--are you, Jean? What's in there where *you* used to be? Jean: Emma, do you honestly think you can protect yourself against *this?( 2nd panel: Jean: You think you can do what you like, but i know what haunts your every waking hour, Emma Frost... stop hiding from me. 3rd panel: Jean: Something happened in Hong Kong. Show me what happened between you and Scott in Hong Kong. NOW, Emma... or I'll make you relive the life of every single child you've allowed to *die.* 3rd scan: Emma: All my students... don't make me look.qzeelee_penguin iqbilly joel-and so it goesq'I FUCKING HATE JEAN GREY by simply_blah;ւ@ i i -(q outdated link s i iqCaptain America. qderryderrydown$ iqThea Gilmore - Saviours And Allqdc - frug with that lasso!@ i i e qmarvel, captain america ❦ iq'Alex Ross draws Tom Welling as SupermanqFound this via Kryptonsite.com: Alex Ross sketches Tom Welling as Superman.

(not quite the case actually, though despite Jason's initial impression it seems to be more of a tentacle thing that Clark got from Mongul) Unfortunately in the end the rose gets crushed... Actually "For The Man Who Has Everything" is a great Superman story, very much worth reading, and well, pre-Crisis Bruce and Clark's relationship was just much closer, so the gift thing isn't quite as weird-- still it makes me smile that he gets him a rose.r ratcreature i irsupermanjC i i 1Yq r Marvel Age #10 (1984) You sexy thang!

The very first line in the profile: "Once there was a boy whose father took him to the distant planet Uranus..." *insert your own Uranus joke here* You'll notice Quasar sports a headband, too, obviously taking a page from Powerman's book.

Members were: Captain Sixpack, a delusional alcoholic and team leader; Flemgem, who had the power to cough up and spit out a disgusting phlegm; Jean de Baton, an alleged (and beyond stereotypical) Frenchman who fought with a big stick; Friendly Fire, who could fire powerful bolts but never hit the target; Dogwelder, who..um...welded dead dogs to people; Shakes, a stuttering spastic; Defenestrator, a mental patient who threw people out of windows; and Bueno Excellente, who fought evil with the power of perversion. Section Eight proved their heroism against such threats as Mawzir and Lobo. However, all except Sixpack and Bueno tragically perished in battle with the Many-Angled Ones. And after reading that, I just had to look for scans of this formidable team in action. And of course once I found them, I had to share, so here are a few pages from Hitman #18 and #19 (written by Garth Ennis, art by John McCrea): Dogwelder's introduction from Hitman #18 a fight scene from Hitman #19 showing Section Eight in action page 11, page 12, page 13, page 14r ratcreature i irWTF!?MjD i i rJbueno excellente, hitman, sixpack, john mccrea, dc, section 8, garth ennis I ir)Marvel Age #10: Betrayal in the X-Mansionr Cyclops bursts in on Colossus, who is up to no good with...*gasp*...Storm!?!

So first of all,"Hi!" *waves* Like it says above these are a couple of scans of the teen-aged Lex Luthor from the Superman Birthright comic. I've just gotten into this comic, but it looks promising. One of those retelling the mytharc for a new age of readers things. In it Clark and Lois aren't together yet, I think. We apparently have the original envisioning of Lex as a crazy scientist. These scans are from a flashback scene of Clark remembering Lex and their friendship (or the end of it) from his teen years. It takes place right before Lex has the lab accident that inevitably causes him to lose his hair. I'm just in love with the image of him pre-hair loss. Straight red hair, sort of nuts. Still, Clark's best friend. Though the end is happening. (In the second pic that's teen Clark in the background.) The freaky thing is when I look at these pics I posted I see some red headed version of John Glover as Lionel Luthor from Smallville. It's freaky. This is how the Lex of Smallville would look had he never lost his hair to me. Or maybe this is how Julian would look had he lived to grow up. Very strange. It's embedded in my head now and won't leave. &r ladyclio16A i) i(rnightwing_thete1T@ i i !*r outdated link *r i,r1960s X-Men...-rI have a severe weakness for the first run of the X-Men comics, especially the early issues. Writing by Stan Lee, art by Jack Kirby, endless and somewhat pathetic angst from Scott and Jean, Wanda wandering about in clothing as revealing as Dick’s during certain portions of his time as Robin, Bobby showing the roots of his numerous neuroses, Hank and Bobby’s galpals and regular dates (who are the cutest teen and college age girls I’ve ever seen in a superhero comic – apart from powered characters), Warren being egotistical… What’s not to love? Though it would be even better if I could find them in color... *mumble* To begin, a wonderfully fun splash page. I have a thing about superheroes just being domestic and “normal”. Why superheroes have trouble getting dates. Still, Bobby’s doing better at this time of life than he ever will again, so I hope he enjoys it. Plus, that first panel is too funny. Why I love Stan Lee. See now, Hank at this point just has troubles because he has yet to grow out of his defense mechanism of being a high handed jerk. Cake! And the next page is just one of my favorite pages in the entire run. The physical interactions of the Brotherhood are really strong and fierce, and the line work’s awesome, in a way that’s very different from the style I’m used to in more recent work.

Maybe. Bart decides to quit Young Justice. Here are the two pages where he's talking to them about it. (Er, there was a cute one panel picture the previous page but I haven't scanned it yet, where he's all adorable and standing there and there's a huge word bubble that just says "QUIT?" from, you know, the others.) There is hair ruffling. And Kon basically saying that YJ is a cult. Really. Nobody quits Young Justice! and oh, the hair ruffling. Also, I have two pages from the issue of Batman where Dick leaves for college, wherein Dick is leaving, and um. Batman and Robin paperdolls.

For context, there has been an alien invasion, the superheroes fought back, but the aliens executed a couple of thousand civilians each time a metahuman and/or costume appeared, and in their case this practice worked against the resistance in that the humans were frightened enough to withdraw their support and turn on the metas. There was a last ditch effort in which Luthor pretended to be collaborator to make a final attack possible, but eventually that failed. Of course some like Batman were smart enough to not leave any witnesses or survivors in their attacks and continued with the fight. Now it's some years later and Jimmy Olsen reassembles a new fighting team.

D'oh! Batman and Superman are conveniently elsewhere when Dastardly Deeds take place. Robin, having had his ass thoroughly kicked, decides his only recourse is to get in touch with Superboy, who flies in from Hawaii hoping to get some action to help. After some hot, off-panel reunion sex, the boys find themselves facing Poison Ivy. Ivy kisses Superboy, which makes him think he likes girls. Robin pleads with him not to go ("Superboy, don't--"), but it's no use. He flies off with her, leaving a rejected Robin to say, "Awww!" Later, Robin catches up with Superboy and Ivy in Hawaii, where he and Superboy face off. As Superboy dangles Robin by one leg, Robin says, "You don't want to know what I'm thinking right now, Superboy--trust me." What are you thinking, Robin? What? Robin: "You know how it is--open mouth 'A'…" And insert what, Robin? Insert what?!?! Robin: "...insert foot 'B.'" *stares* Foot? Your foot? Okay. Robin then begins to *fumble with his belt* while saying, "Not that it'll slow you down, much, but it should buy me enough time to. . ." To what Robin? To WHAT?!?! Robin: "Oh--great time for my utility belt to get stuck closed." Crap. Sadly, he never does get his belt open, and they spend the rest of their time in Hawaii doing things that aren't boy-sex.

A couple of years ago, my little brother went with his friend Johnny to a Baptist church and attended Sunday School. The kids were supposed to cut out and assemble a mobile. The theme? "Lessons Jesus Taught Us". There were twelve cards, and each had a kid-ized version of the 10 Commandments on 'em. Things like "Respect Your Parents" and "Be Kind to Strangers" were printed on one side of the card, and on the other was an illustration. Now, I don't know what kind of quality control the Baptists were using on their Sunday School material, but when my kid brother brought the project home, he colored the whole thing and then showed it to the rest of us. And we almost died of shock and laughter. Here's one of the lessons Jesus taught us: Front Side Back Side That's a pretty great lesson for Jesus to teach. *Cross-posted to t nos4a2no94 i i i@ i i Zt jesus, crack&- .> i itWonder Woman Images: http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3857&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=6005&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3535&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=2455&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3474&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=2383&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=1084&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=2196&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=8163&mode=search http://www.universohq.com/quadrinhos/images/ww_hikk_big.jpg I've added (hopefully) humorous captions to various comic images here, BTW.tmeret* i it dickwally@ i i O*ktmarvel, wonder woman'. `: i it Superman Images: http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=5949&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=5821&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=5855&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=4285&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3695&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3684&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=859&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=324&mode=search Flash Images: http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=8196&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=7631&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=4916&mode=search http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/lml/comics/pages/images/flash.jpg http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3451&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=793&mode=search http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=1074&mode=search LOL!

The Supergirl of the Golden/Silver age. Her name was Kara, she came from Argo (or Argo City, which was either part of Krypton, or the planet next door, depending on your canon) and she was Superman's cousin. Then, in the big "Crisis" storyline where they merged a bunch of storylines and reset a bunch of characters, she died. Very sad. Ever since then, you hear "Supergirl" and you just know it's going to be insane. There was the shapeshifting artificial life form from the alternate universe where Lex was a hero, there was the normal girl who was merged with some kind of angel and had amnesia and really, who even *knows*, and now there's some kind of girl from the future who's claiming to be Clark and Lois' daughter and do we know what's up with that? Anyway, this is a story about the girl-merged-with-angel Supergirl. Her name was Linda, and these scans are from "Supergirl: Many Happy Returns," a graphic novel written by Peter David, a genre fanboy in the best sense of the word. In this story, what happens is, a villian diverts Kara Zor-El's rocket (in its original timeline) into our timeline and it crashes in front of Linda. So Linda and Kara meet, and make friends, and then the Spectre shows up and is like, "No, Kara has to go back to Earth-1 and be Supergirl there and eventually die in the Crisis." And Kara's all sweet and cute and she's like "Nooo, I don't wanna die, Linda, don't make me go back!" So Linda punches her out and takes her place in the rocket. And this is what happens. "...It was a special kind of.... Anti-Kryptonite!" Clark says later he wasn't *really* fooled. So then the next couple of pages are of Linda going, "OMG! I thought I was making a sacrifice, but I love this place! It's like Pleasantville! OK, there's only five channels on TV, and nobody swears, and...." AND THEN THIS. Te: This could explain Superman/Batman. Livia: Maybe Clark gave Bruce some pink kryptonite as well? Livia: "Save it for the direst emergency. Or maybe just a Friday night at the Queen Mary." OK, so this is *Golden Age* retcon time-warp canon, and hence thanks to the Crisis it doesn't exist any more, but still... yes. You read that right. A canonical, BIG GAY SUPERMAN! Canonical KRYPTONITE THAT TURNS SUPERMAN GAY. And stuff from the Golden Age shows up again in canon all the *time.* Krypto. Kara. *cough* Can pink kryptonite be next?

Warning, a couple of big scans and quite a bit of nudity. Age of Bronze is a retelling of the of the Trojan War story. Great writing, wonderful detail. Definitively worth checking out especially for anybody with a soft spot for Greek myths. It all starts with Archilles (you know the guy portrayed by Brad Pitt in the movie), spends his youth dressed as a girl, living among girls, at the request of his mother. It makes for some awkward moments as Archilles, aka Pyrrha, starts hitting on the king's daughter. Apparently growing up as a girl also includes taking part in lots of secret woman rituals which include extatic dancing in the woods. Where some innocent girl fonding kinda gets out of hand: Rape1 Rape2. After the initial shock the kings' daughter Deidamia ends up loving the idea of having her own girl-dressed secret boyfriend and she end up giving birth to a son. As a result the king forces Archilles to marry her, naturally. Shortly afterwards Archilles is found out by Ulysses, meets up with old friend Patroklos and they all join on their first war expedition. Which leads to male soldier bonding. Bonding1 Bonding2 But the expedition is cut shot. As they return home, jealousy rears it's head: In bed with Deidamia, Archilles dreams of his weapon buddy. An Argument about Archilles sudden lack of interest in fullfilling his marital duties prompts this response. The soap opera starts as Daidemia wants to know if there is someone else. It also looks like somebody has been spying on them from the dark. (personally I just love how Archilles is going out fully naked with just a cape to cover himself. The boys talk and then without much further ado take off into the woods. Awww, poor Deidamia. And if the rather peculiar style of drawing sex hasn't fully creeped you out yet?

I don't really like it that much; the plot is *way* too cheesy and Clark and Bruce don't even really interact that much. But I do like the art, because Steve Rude draws one *adorable* Bruce. :) Here's Bruce having breakfast in Metropolis with Jimmy... And dinner with Lois Lane...

The premise is that two not-so-nice chaps named Caldera and Neron are collecting the souls of fallen heroes and putting their souls in cages around the edge of a pentagram in order to get power. Because of this, Deadman keeps getting 'called' to the moment when heroes die, in an attempt to protect them until they can go into the light. (Jason then spends pretty much the rest of the miniseries locked in a cage in hell with the Flash, though he does get to attempt some undead ass-kicking first. At the end of the story, Deadman resets the flow of time so none of the events actually took place, thereby preventing the bad guys from stealing any of the souls. So nothing anybody's written about Jason post-death has been jossed by this series. On a related note, I'm putting together a Jason archive at the moment. So if you've got any stories, pictures, icons, or anything else you'd like to offer, I'll be greatly pleased and offer many thanks and gleeful noises.)

But the weird head patting kinda sums it up From the peanut gallery: Interesting note: Hawk became Monarch in the future, who created the Team Titans to go back in time to kill Donna's baby because he would be a threat--or was it just to get back at Donna? He's certainly resentful enough. Hawk later becomes Extant, who in the one-shot Bart Saves the Universe goes to elaborate means to get back at Hal Jordan before he can become Parallax and mess with Extant's party. u badficwriter i iu Elementary(@ i i RNd u outdated linkFN BLT  i uIndigo and Shift u This post is dedicated to my new favorite canonical DCU couple: Indigo and Shift of the Outsiders. She's an android from the future, he's the accidental offspring of Metamorpho, and they're just adorable together. They've filled the hole that was left in my heart when Captain Marvel told Stargirl he couldn't see her anymore. She's the one who comforts him when he finds out he's not the real Metamorpho: (Outsiders #7) And then later they go out to a movie: (Outsiders #8) I'm not even sure why they make me so happy. I think it's something in their strange sort of youthfulness, both being relatively new to the world and yet "adult." Or maybe it's that she looks like a bright green club-rat, and he looks like Metamorpho after an accident with a woodchipper. Or maybe it's dialogue like in that last panel.usecretpuppetman i iu indigo/shift7this. I just... I mean... HOLDING HANDS. "DUMPED."

Hal and Barry decide to get together out-of-costume to see how well they get along. Mostly to show you Barry's awful shorts "We'll always be a team" Their significant others are surprised at the sudden, close friendship During the time of the Green Lantern/Green Arrow truckdriving across America, they blew into Central City, currently under control of a fascist sheriff. Barry compares Ollie to Hal's ex-girlfriend Barry confronted on his jealousy....dodges And all I can think of when I look at them all together is Hal's comment about preferring blonds in JLA: Year One:) During the time Hal had an alien sidekick (it looked like a sea cucumber with a star-face) named Itty, they had to team-up against the Empathistar, which accentuated strong traits (and, again, everything reminds me of sex pollen). Anyway, in order not to blindly charge in and get killed, Hal had to make himself afraid. "So what were you afraid of, Hal?" After Iris' murder at Zoom's hands, Barry comes to stay with Hal. It's like we're being TOLD to write comfortfic This is from regular continuity, Flash vol.1, 332. Hal was exiled from Earth for a year for insubordination to the Guardians. While he was gone, Barry was put on trial for killing Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash. Hal drops in to see how Barry is. I know it's supposed to be a manly grip, but the handholding gets me So what did Hal think of Barry killing a guy? Worth noting that the artist/writer team here had been doing Barry for years. Hal's acceptance was directly contrasted with Central City's accusations, his erstwhile fiance's anger, and the Justice League's hotly debated vote on whether or not to expel the Flash. Not even Superman supported him unconditionally. And in the more recent JLA/Avengers by Kurt Busiek and Perez, a reality-shifted Hal and Barry get a chance to say their goodbyes. "When I first met you..." This scene reminds me of nothing so much as the climactic off-panel moment at the end of the classic Dark Phoenix saga. Phoenix has been suppressed behind barriers in Jean Grey's mind, but when she thinks Scott has been killed, those barriers are ripped asunder and she goes Phoenix.

It starts off with a simple switch and grows into something ...else. What if that orphaned child that grew up to a billionaire superhero was Selina Kyle and not Bruce Wayne? We start off with Catwoman swinging into action, summoned by the CatLight. Things seem vaguely interesting but mostly normal at first, as we see Catwoman on a routine patrol. A non-comic reading friend did question her ability to run, let alone do acrobatics and fight, with those breasts though. Next we meet this universe's Batman: An intriguing spin on familiar characters, you might think. Warning bells for me started on low level alert when Two-Face makes an appearance. (This is Darcy Dent, former supermodel. Because what other profession is there in which a woman can succeed? /feminist rant) And then there's this universe's Alfred. Her name is Brooks. This is what she wears all the time. Things get even more crack-headed when the fiercely independent and capable Selina meets and marries Bruce Wayne (taking a few seconds out to reveal her closely guarded secret identity) despite him practically wearing a badge saying "I'm an evil psychopath that's planning on killing you. Ask me how!" There is quite a bit about the various characterisations that bring out my inner militant feminist. (Or maybe I'm just bitter because Brooks dies.) Nevertheless some shallow part of me does love it for the pretty femmeslashy goodness such as: Yeah, for all my principles I'm pretty easy. *g*Eu vanilla_tiger i iGu nightwing+[F i i Iudc, catwoman, elseworlds, crackNW 4 iKu The Titans 14LuThis is from the last Titans run (in 2000) with the original five members plus some extras, and at this point they're having a crisis.

This book is so addicting it's not even funny. Anyway, I thought I'd pimp it here. I love this book: it has canon femslash and incest, not to mention lesbian hitwomen. Most of the series has, so far, centered around Katchoo and Francine, and their friend David, not to mention a whole slew of criminals from Katchoo's Dark Past(tm). The scans I'm posting are from the first trade. Context: Francine's boyfriend, Freddie Femur, has just fought with her because she refuses to sleep with him for various reasons. After he storms angrily out of the house, Katchoo tries to comfort her: Later, Francine discovers Freddie cheating on her, and they break up very publicly and messily. This makes Francine have a nervous breakdown (she didn't have the best track record with guys, and Freddie was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back), Katchoo goes after Freddie for revenge. She breaks into his apartment, holds him at gunpoint and threatens to castrate him; Freddie faints with terror. The next morning, we find Freddie: SiP's website, which has an excellent character guide and most of the issues and trades available for purchase, is here. The SiP source book, with chronologies, up to date explanations of all the characters and events, and other stuff, is out as well It only costs the same as any other single comic, and will get you completely up to date on the series.

(Spider-Man should not be amalgamated with Superboy, just no.) The premise was that the two universes were merging into one, so certain characters were merging into one. Yeah.
Okay, so who would Darkclaw naturally fight? Why, the amalgamation of the Joker and Sabertooth, of course! Hyena. Oh yeah, how could you NOT love this?

So when I heard she was getting her own eponymous regular series (in its own continuity) centered around her day-to-day high school life, I nearly went hoarse squealing in glee. The first issue is out, and...yes. I'll just be over here in my corner, squeaking hysterically. In the meantime, you can read the entire issue online. I'm not sure if it's kosher to link to scans of entire issues (I can remove the link if it's not); I uploaded a few sample pages to my own account just in case, so here they are! I must give mad mad props to , my goddess of all things Spidey, who found the first issue online for me. I have no comic book shop nearby and would have not seen this issue for a very long time, so she gets first dibs on my firstborn children or my soul. "Mary Jane" is written by Sean McKeever and drawn by Takeshi Miyazawa. Onto the pages! First, the cover. MJ and her friends discuss the homecoming dance... Yes indeedy. Note also the adorkable Peter Parker in a brief walk-on role. THE HAT! pages 18-22 - The night of a disastrous date for MJ just gets worse when a fight breaks out on her subway car. - "Falling would be bad." - MJ reacts about the way I would. - And I say to myself, "This cannot get any cuter..." - ...until it does. And some extra goodies: - A textless version of the cover: Harry Osborn, MJ, and Liz Allen - A cleaner, textless version of the page with the HAT Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to read it again, draw little "MJ + Kawcrow" hearts all over my notebooks, and perhaps hug some more.uoctopedingenueuwords can't DESCRIBE the squeeu7Frou Frou - Holding Out For A Hero (Shrek 2 Soundtrack)u mj girlcrush@ i i V?u2marvel, takeshi miyazawa, sean mckeever, mary janeZe bP iu New here :)u#Hello everyone... I found this community few days ago and instantly fell in love. So I joined and watched a while and then I decided to wade through all entries posted until now ^^;;; Out of interest but also to be sure to post new stuff. I am not so much into US comics... or thats wrong, I am not this much into superhero comics. But mainly in the 'i collect other comics'-type. May be because I'm in germany *waves to people who are also on her friendslist*. I like the X-men universe pretty much, can't wait for the third movie (Nightcrawler! Wolverine! Colossus! Xavier! :D). My favorite comics are mainly european ones, Elfquest, some manga (yaoi and non-yaoi)... but I won't go into detail, instead I'll try to provide you with scans of comics I like here and there. Some I scanned myself, some I got from others, some I found on the net (and have in real, too or will buy, asap). So, I hope you enjoy seeing what I can offer, even if it is not in the line of what is posted here mostly. If you have questions regarding any of my postings feel free to ask (and please bear with my sometimes crappy english ^^;;). Some... or maybe more than some pages I post will be in german. I'll try to provide you with translations. But now, onto the scans :D Blacksad is one of my all time favorites! I am not an active furrydom member, but I like furries. And as I saw that wonderfully drawn hardcover comic I loved it from the first moment. I heard one of the artists also worked/works (not sure) for Disney also. European comics are often 'One story/storyline - One comicbook'. Some comics have 3 issues, some more, like up to ten, but often thats it. They are mostly 21x29,7cm in size. For Blacksad there are two comics - meaning two seperate stories - until now. These are detective stories, set in an alternate furry universe in the 50s or something. Blacksad is (really, who would have thought so) the black panther guy. First panel: "I thought it was strange how the uncounted signs of his affection could worry her so much..." "...until I read what was written on the cards." Card 1: Enjoy the flowers and your last days... BITCH! Card 2: For the most beautiful among the soon to be DEAD... Second panel: "It was necessary to be discret and efficient. And thats just what I am, when it's needed: Very discret and particularly..." Third panel: "...efficient." First panel: "She was pleased with the results." Second panel: "So much, she wouldn't want to miss my service anymore..." Third panel: "It was the happiest time of my life." And just to show you some of the darker side of this comic (which takes up way more space ^^)... First panel: "I see. And what happened to that Leon?" "Don't know. He wasn't here since ages." "Hey, friend!" Second panel: "I'm sorry, but I accidentially listened to everything... I can bring you to Leon, for a little fee, you know..." Third panel: "Ev'ry year is getting shorter... never seem to find the time..." "From the first moment I felt a strong aversion towards my new 'partner'..." "A question of instinct." Larger scans upon request :) edit: forgot to add, the artists names are Diaz Canales and Guarnido edit #2: If you want to buy that comic, it is appeareantly translated to english.

I though not. The general concept is about what the title implies, though. The Fantastic Four are roasted (as in Friar's Club, not fricassee) by their heroic and villainous peers. Rather amusing, overall. We start with the cover, a rather nifty shot of a great many Marvel denizens, as rendered by Fred Hembeck.... who just happens to be the writer, too. The first page... definitely an attention getter. Though I find myself wishing there were a little rubber duckie, too. Flash forward a bit, to the roast itself. We have: Captain America, chatting about WWII... and dishwashing liquid? The Avengers, (all of 'em!) who retell the Fan Four's origins, for any of use who were unaware. Daredevil, recounting why the FF are so hated by insurance companies, and making good use of a flashlight to set the mood. The X-Men, demonstrating why I wish my enemies had mind-control powers. And an... interesting... recount of Doom's origin, from the man himself. There are some other amusing things. The background dialogue in a lot of the scenes is the real highlight, but really, the issue as a whole is rather cute, if overly punnish.

I think. Anyhow, Dark Claw returned. This time in Dark Claw Adventures. (kind of like Batman Adventures....but with Wolverine-ish aspects) And Jubille is still Robin Sparrow. And Lady Talia is a mix between Talia and Lady Deathstike and...well....it was fun! So, I'm gonna share. The cover! Page one! A seedy bar! Page two! Cyber-ninja assassins! Oh no! Page three.

And, if you look carefully, he even has a the 'dead robin' case. So....who's his dead sparrow? Kitty Pryde, maybe?? Hmmm.... Page ten! Animated Dark Claw costume! Not quite as cool looking as the fully detailed version from last year, but still pretty cool looking. Page eleven. MORE exposition. Page 12 and 13. Double page fight spread! The writers were really stretching to amalgamate their characters here. Still, quite crack-tastic. Page fourteen. Ooh! Big fight scene coming up! Page fifteen! A fight scene! And now he THROWS her into the dead robin case. O_O Page seventeen! Wolverbatman pleads with Lady Talia. Page eighteen! Wolverbatman dies! No, really! Page nineteen. Some stuff happens.

Check - Centaur Sex? Check - Lois Lane being turned on by a nazi stud? Check - Girl!Clark? Check - Clana hookup? Check This all belongs firmly into the realm of 'OMG, I can't believe that they actually printed that'. It all starts innocently enough. It's several years in the future. Everbody around Superman has aged except him. Lois is an old woman who hangs out at the spa with Maggie Sawyer and Lana Lang. (Lois is the one in the Red shirt, Maggie the one in the black shirt, Lana the one in the NYPD shirt) The fact that both Lois and Lana are as old as grannies doesn't stop them from bickering about Clark. Lois has grown bitter over the years. Turns out that in this universe the Nazis have retaken Germany and Superman was powerless to stop it because it was a political act rather than a criminal act. See Superman meditating on the holocaust. We get a rather nice shot of what Superman is doing in his free time and one of Lois and Lana checking him out. So far so good, turns out that: -) The Greek Gods are in cahoots with the Nazi (at least most of them) -) Whoever wrote this had a serious hard on for bondage It all starts with Lois having some weird rape nightmare about Superman who turned on her while she was trying to save her girlfriend (can't help it, Lois refering to Lana as 'Red' makes me go awwwww) There are some fights with monsters and Lois, Clark and Lana end up being split up. Lois goes to Germany to investigate. Some studly German officer who turns out to be Adonis working for the Nazi hits on her and is odly turned on but denies him. After that Lois gets transformed into WonderWomam and Lana gets transformed into an oracle. Both of which seems to require some lesbain making-out. Superman ends up being transformed into an evil centaur. We get treated to such wonderfully misogynistic bits as this when Lana tries to get Clark to remember that he is one of the good guys (which apparently includes jumping on him and riding him all night long to 'tame' him, sadly the art for these bits isn't very good): Oh and did I mention that Wonderwoman works for the Nazi side: We get get elaborate panels over panels of Lois!Wonderwoman fighting Nazi!Wonderwoman. here, here and here. Including some light bondage: and some centaur girl!snuggling (yes apparently Lana is not just an oracle, but a part time centaur too) Yeah and some centaur romance and centaur!Clana hookup. . Anyway they decide that they need to save the world from the evil nazis. Somehow that requires that Lana turns Clark into a girl (who btw looks nothing like Clark) so they will be able to smuggle him in: We are treated to some more pointless nazi!bondage moments: And apparently Lois recongises her boyfriend even in girlform: After a big blablabla endfight, it all ends happily ever after with Lois, Lana and Clark living together in a weird threesome relationship. On the moon. Yeah. That's all, folks!

So without further ado, here's some choice moments from the first two issues of Batman Vs The Nazis Batman and the Outsiders. It took me about 15 minutes of hysterical laughter before I could advance further into the comic. I'm particularly fond of Batman's Neon Blue accessories, Flash's look of shock, rather like someone had shoved something where the sun don't shine and the fact that someone else (The human torch?) has set his head on fire. Chosen particularly for the bottom left hand panel. Because Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, you see. It's not MANLY! Our Manly Aryan Poster Boy is Called Stud! Stud! Hurts...to...laugh.

First, the Tattooed Man, from JLA v. 111: The Tattooed Man is one of Hal Jordan's more...pathetic...villains (which is saying something, to hear talk), and I suspect it was experiences like this one that led to the Tattooed Man--in the only other appearances I've seen--trying as hard as he can to quit and/or avoid the supervillain game. But the Tattooed Man's costume was only preparation for the horror introduced in the same issue's backup reprint (originally published either in JLA v.1 32 or 36). The problem with cataloging Really Bad Costumes is knowing when to stop. Because, frankly, most of what superheroes and villains wear is pretty ridiculous when looked at in the right light. A large part of what made these costumes material, for me, was the dialogue or captions that served to call attention to the costume--causing me to take a good look and burst out laughing. In that context, I present another few scans from JLA v.1 112, both featuring Amazo, an evil android who can absorb the JLA's stolen superpowers (don't ask, though I will provide plot details if you do). When the JLA is required to revive Amazo, Black Canary decides (quite correctly) that his old costume is an eyesore, and for some reason, that this: is an improvement. ....which, given the former costume, it could actually be: Which is all, at least until I get to 113:).sv caia_comica i, iuv Ring/Arrow?'@ i i wvtattooed man, dc, jla, amazou T|ƴ! iyv Uncanny X-men something or otherzv Charles Xavier is a scary mofo. I used to really like the Xavier character, and right now the closest thing I think we get to that cool good Xavier is the movies. But in all the comics....he's just turned into someone kind of freakish. Anyway, as the X books were leading up to the Onslaught saga back in the 90's, this very disturbing moment showed up. See, over in Wolverine 100, Wolvie had gone all feral and run into the wild. And Xavier knows that Zoe Culloden (the lady) has some information on why this might have happened. And the X-men drive a snazzy car! And then there's a cute little moment between Iceman and Cannonball. Yay! Iceman! So, somehow, Phoenix has located Wolverine! Yay! I'm not really sure WHY, but Zoe kills Xavier. Except for the fact that she really doesn't, he just let her THINK she did, and then he goes and lets her not be able to move, and then he's all draped in shadow, and Prof. X is a scary mofo, omg. Anyway, ever since the Onslaught Saga, no one really writes Xavier very well, imho. He's usually too creepy for my taste. Joe Mad does pretty art. :3 The End!{v tomturbo17 i i}vphoenix`@ i i v"marvel, professor x, uncanny x-menv ! i iv I picked up a couple of old Superboy issues - #83 and #92 - largely because they had Bart on the cover. And they reminded me what I love about DC fandom. I thought I came up with some pretty crack-addled ideas but that's absolutely nothing compared to what TPTB come up with. Kon has been turned down by a girl. Bart is, obviously, very concerned about this because he can't understand how anybody could turn Kon down. Being turned down has forced Kon into a crisis of cool. He therefore enlists help to redesign his costume. The results are... Cracky. This becomes potentially more disturbing when you remember the Justice League episode A Knight in Shadows, in which it's revealed that Wally reads the magazines published by the JL equivalent of Hefner. vderryderrydown ivMadonna - Like a Prayervdc - impulse squeeO@ i i v superboy, dcw އ)! i ivCan't believe I forgot these...

He can be rather sarcastic. Thirdly... *hugs* He's been horribly screwed with and abused lately, and he deserves the sympathy. And finally... Err... He's got really big... equipment. :-) Ahem. Plus also, there's this. Piper rules. Totally. vblinkytreefrog i} i iۉFirst off, here's some pages from the recent reboot of Green Arrow, featuring Ollie (who's just returned from the dead) and Jefferson Pierce, formerly known as Black Lightning, and dad of Anissa from Outsiders. Page One Page Two Awww. "Kiss me." But of course it's Ollie and Hal Jordan whose love is truly pure. Here they are in space. And... for some reason, which I swear doesn't make a lick more sense even in context, they all of a sudden just have to wrestle. Katma Tui watches and makes o.O face. So do I. Speaking of Hal, MY EYES AAAAAAAHH NOOOO. Why would you EVER DRAW SOMEONE from this angle? Hal! God! Fly with your legs together! Here's some scans of the next GL that I think are interesting, just because I think it's fascinating to see the way that stories are told, altered and re-told in comics... From Green Arrow/Green Lantern #87, Hal's first reaction to John, John's first reaction to Hal, and John setting himself apart from the other Lanterns by not wearing a mask: "This black man lets it ALL hang out!" And twenty years later, in the short-lived (and very weird) mini-series "Mosaic," while John's having a conversation with his squirrel spirit guide... (Do. Not. Ask.) "...I never said that." *hee* And just recently, from the current GL series, in #150 we get to see a retelling of the first Hal/John meeting. There they are in the candy store and everything. I like this version-- a bit less talky. What's amusing, though, is that this isn't just a "flashback," it's supposedly real history from Kyle's point of view *as he travels through time*. So why is it different from what happened in 1971? Who knows. :D As I mentioned to someone on my journal a few days ago, Kyle doesn't really grab me as a character. One thing I do find endearing, though, is his tendency to make wacky, artistic and/or adorable constructs with his power ring, like the time Connor came to visit him in New York and Kyle apparently thought it would be cute for them to have a romantic ride around the Statue of Liberty on big winged horses with pretty floofy manes. Um. Yes. Anyway, here's Kyle showing off his penchant for ginormous phallic weaponry. Between his legs. Meep! I can't believe I almost posted this without any Connor in it. Man, if I could say one thing to Connor, it would be this: baybee, people don't think you're gay because you're clean-cut and polite. They think you're gay because you occasionally tend to be not at all attracted to hot, naked willing women. Work on that. :Dv liviapenn i ivdc: crackshot and connor@ i i Mև&w,john stewart, green arrow, dc, green lantern (' iw.Four reasons to think that James Jesse is coolw Since people seemed to like Piper's post, here's another favourite in a similar vein! James Jesse, aka the first Trickster, aka the best Trickster, has been a sporadic guest character in the Flash for a while. First he was a crook, then he was a rogue on the side of the angels, now, believe it or not, he's an FBI agent. Who'd have figured? He is however, very cool. Why? Firstly: Nostalgia for the good old days... He wears suits and has a yo-yo. That's just neat :-). Secondly: *snicker* He has a wisecrack for every occasion! Thirdly, Uh huh? Ouch!

What have you *done* to her? 4th Panel Storm: You touched Scott! The Morlocks! Madelyne! And now *Jean!* All are changed! All destroyed! *Why?* To what purpose? 5th Panel Jean: Mmm...? Storm...?

So here is four pages of Bart complaining and then meeting Tim. *sigh* They are far too cute. Especially Bart. Far, far too cute. ^wshala i i iQlD i i `wdc, robin, impulse^ 8My/ ibw0Papa Spank! (from golden age "Lois Lane" comics)cwSo this is from a Golden Age "Lois Lane, Superman's Girlfriend" comic that I recently downloaded from zcultfm.org. They're very cute-- Lois is all boy-crazy and kissy and Clark is all "Ew, girls!" like they're both twelve or something, and the plots are full of giant robots and aliens and mermaids and magic lakes that give you superpowers for 24 hours and mysterious lookalikes and disguises and crazy schemes. One of the plots that is repeated over and over again is "Lois comes up with a crazy scheme to get Superman to marry her." In this issue, Lois decides to get invited to the Fortress of Solitude and get "accidentally" stuck there for several days. Once she proves to Superman that she can be totally at home in the Fortress with all its freaky alien shit, of course he'll marry her and it will be their home, yay! But then... OMGWTF!!!1! A ROGUE SUPERMAN ROBOT HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND TURNED INTO A KINKY SPANKBOT. RUN LOIS RUN... or, you know, just spend the whole next day with a big huge grin on your face. Whichever. The next night? OMGWTF!!!!1one!1! TENTACLE PORN. It's ok, Lois. The alien beast is just cuddling up to you for warmth. He likes you. So, of course, Lois is all "fine! I admit it. I hate it here. Take me home." Superman is then all secretly MWA HA HA IT WAS MY PLAN ALL ALONG. Because there's nothing necessarily pervy about getting satisfaction from watching a robot duplicate of yourself spank your girlfriend. So, in conclusion we have a new All Purpose Plot Device that can be used for DC universe porn whenever porn is needed. The list so far: (1) Sex pollen (2) Pink kryptonite (3) ROGUE SUPERMAN SPANKBOT A fine addition, I think.dw liviapenn% i ifwharley: i'm somebody's fetishaD i i 72hw?lois lane, dc, spanking, tentacles, crack, superman, silver age 6!=S+ ijw1Ultimate Spider-Man: Doctor Octopus in Hollywood!kwEdited to Add: Photobucket.com is having emotional problems and my album with these scans is currently down.

You are going to see my crack movie Spider-Man 2 when it opens this Wednesday, right? *twitch* Right? *staaaare* Anyway, this is as good an excuse as any to post random "Ultimate Spider-Man" scans of the coolest (and most disturbingly sexy) villainous cephalopod ever, Doctor Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus. These are all from Ultimate Spider-Man: Hollywood, the recent movie tie-in storyarc that is sheer snarky meta catnip. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with pencils by Mark Bagley.

The cover story featured Robin mistakenly thinking Batman had married Kathy Kane aka Batwoman. However the piece de resistance comes from Superman Family #211 in which we see Earth-2's Batman "settling down". The plot revolves Lois stumbling on an assassination attempt at the wedding to "Kill Kent".

Parker wanna cracker?|wSo, most of you if you know me know me as one of those silly Spider-freak fangirls who run around here, but I would like to take a moment to discuss another Marvel superhero. Many of you have heard of Daredevil. Those of you who haven't, well, he's an enhanced-senses superhero (lawyer by day) with two disabilities: 1) He's blind. 2) In the movie, he was played by Ben Affleck. Anyway, a bit over a year ago realtime, Daredevil was outed by a mob boss as the lawyer Matt Murdock. Currently, for what it's worth, he's managed to turn it into an urban legend of the "everyone's heard the rumors, but no one can prove it" sort, which is pretty good considering how bad the leak was. Now that we've gotten all that established, let's get back to Spider-man. First of all, at the newspaper Daily Bugle, star reporter Ben Urich is trying to protect Matt (he knows the truth) by telling Jonah Jameson that he knows who Daredevil is (true) and it's not Matt Murdock (untrue). Peter Parker wanders in as well. He no longer works there, but he wanted to say the same thing. (Spidey and Daredevil are chummy. In fact, they are probably as best friend-ish as two socially allergic superheroes can be.) Incidentally, some fans pinpoint these two scenes as when Ben realizes that Peter is Spider-man. But we'll find out in The Pulse how he knows, soon enough. And then we have Spider-man going over to DD's place to give him a hand. Literally. So there you have it. Unfortunately for me, Alex Maleev doesn't convey motion very well, so he could never illustrate a Spider-man title. Therefore, I shall just have to hope that Spider-man makes many, many appearances in Daredevil while he's on the title. Why are there no Daredevil/Spider-man slashfics?}wrabican i i i@ i i w3marvel, daredevil, spider-man, brian michael bendis ^i:=. iw%Wrongness collected from the internetwThis was, I think, posted before, but it's just too Bat-Gay to ignore.

Long ago now, Northstar - Jean-Paul Beaubier of Alpha Flight - came out of the closet as the gay hero of the Marvel universe, and then promptly disappeared from sight. He's been back a few times lately - I can only hope for more. But in Ultimate X-Men we have a whole new scenario in a whole new universe, and Northstar has just been introduced as of issue #46-47. He was badly beat up and rescued by the X-Men; Jean Grey probed his memories while he was unconscious, so she could find out what happened. Here's the next scene, as Northstar wakes up :

I've been a member for a while and I've noticed the trend towards fresh new costumed hero comic scans, and what I have here is old costumed hero comics and weird European ones, but bear with me. I read 'Batman: Manbat' by Delano and Bolton a while back, and was terribly impressed, both with the story and the art. I especially liked Kirk and Francine, the way they're portrayed here. So, here's a gorgeous painting of Manbat and wife: ...After her final transformation. Bolton. Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. So then I read Manbat's introduction story, and scanned this, because, if you ask me, Alfred is easily the coolest person in Gotham. And now for something different: Modesty Blaise. She was the hero of an newspaper strip and a string of novels, and she was also my childhood hero... Who am I kidding? She's still my hero, and the first of the really self-sufficient female action heroes. Well, the first I know about, anyway. Origin story in short: Was a beggar girl, became a nobler sort of crime-boss, made a fortune, retired early, got bored, so now takes on random missions for the British government along with special platonic friend Willie. I apologise for the scan quality; they're scanned from my old, yellow magazines. I also translated the dialogue from the Finnish translation back to English, because I'm just that geeky. Modesty takes a relaxing holiday by going on walkabout with Australian aborigines: Willie's adorable here. They insult women and HE gets worked up about it! And here's a one-page strip of Nemi, a grand strip about a goth girl - I don't know if it's been translated into English, but this strip doesn't need translation. And here's an odd thing. Again, being an ignorant Finn, I don't know if Spirou et Fantasio has been translated into English... it's a French comic about journalists and adventurers. I recently read 'Machine Qui Rêve', which was done in an entirely different way from the usual funnybook style of the comic, and a slew of "little Spirou" spinoffs. That compelled me to scan these images to show the three faces of Spirou. (I apologise for the Finnish.) This is how I'm used to seeing Spirou and Fantasio: This is Machine Qui Rêve: Also what seems to change a lot from Spirou's childhood to his adulthood is his relation to women. As a child he was obsessed; as an adult, the boy doesn't even look, which, I have to admit, makes me wonder about him and Fantasio. Here's child Spirou: And here's adult Spirou, and a typical reaction - or lack thereof - to females (from Machine Qui Rêve): ...And that's it (believe it or not)! Apologies if it wasn't the usual fare, I just wanted to share.whyel i iwsequential art conneisseuri^@ i i o.wdc, batman, outdated link >/ iwDaredevil and his troubles....w
The best comic on the market right now is Daredevil and if I reproduced all the panels I liked, I'd be scanning the whole thing. I'll content myself with a panel from issue #61 (current series, came out a couple of weeks ago). Daredevil's personal life is a mess. Among other things, his secret identity as blind attorney Matt Murdock is magazine-cover news - and not for the first time. He goes to his office, where his partner Foggy points out, "It's a slow news day.... You okay?"
Then Matt goes home to find an ex-lover in his bed...w fajrdrako i i iA;@ i i w outdated link OT/ iw Outsiders FunwThis goofiness is worth it just for the 'costumes' on the Masters Of Disaster.

It's not nasty, just weird and crazy But Batman sure seems to be having a tender moment with the lava monster. Again, Batman is embraced by an enemy.

Instead, I will link you to the newest Spider-crack, Marvel Knights: Spider-man. A full preview of issue four is up at Mile High Comics. In previous issues, to make a long story short and non-spoilery, Aunt May was kidnapped and Peter did stupid stuff that landed him in the hospital (as Spider-man, not Peter). He spends most - sorry, all - of this issue doped up on painkillers. As is typical for a story written by Mark Millar, it's depressing, and yet mightily hilarious. "No, silly boy. This is just the midazolam the doctors prescribed inducing mild hallucinations." Man, those hospital gowns are skimpy. I'd do more, since there's a little DCU cameo in one of the panels and an evil, evil cliffhanger, but I'll let you guys find those for yourselves, 'cause I don't want to spoil the joy.wrabican i iw!spidey's been working like a dog.1A i i E0wmarvel, spider-man, mark millar 0*5D0 i iw~Batman's got a new Robin wcrantz i iw niiiiiiiiinja\A i i wrobins, dc, batman, robin 0 i iw These are in Finnish again. Apologies. I've translated it for y'all. Lisa Myhre, who writes and draws Nemi, doesn't want her all her strips online in English, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind just a couple. Friend: Oh no... I should've shaved my legs. ...And worked on my abs! My belly is huge! Nemi: EQUALITY!! ...sigh. Girl: What's that? Nemi: A mass grave. Girl: A mass grave? Nemi: Yes. Over 200 animals. They were abused and killed - and now they're buried here. Girl: How do you know? Nemi: I buried them. ...It was your mother's horrible fur coat. This next scan is from an AU Batman comic se in the 30s in which Bruce never sees the bat hit the study window, and goes the trenchcoat hero way instead, while still keeping the playboy millionaire front up. I have to say I like this Bruce better. Bruce: Please don't kill me, Miss Cat. I still have... a life to live... and so much money to spend!" Catwoman: Wha--? Get off me!

I'd like to draw attention to the manga "Tenjou Tenge".  Depending on how you ask, this could be translated as "Upper and Lower Heavens" or "Heaven and Hell".  It's a tad difficult because the implications of the two areas indicated in the title are conceptual only and is a reference to the yin and yang of human nature rather than spiritually diametric opposites.  Anyways, this is manga that is essentially about a couple of high school gang-boys, Souchiro and Bob, whose singular passion in life is the physical domination of the student body at every school they enter and are subsequently kicked out of.  This time around, however, they end up in a school whose sole occupation is the ressucitation of all forms of martial arts as a viable form of life.  This is not actually the real plot, but it's all we're told in the first volume.  Despite this plot, the characters are all actually very interesting, and I can respect very much any story which has a villain who is absolutely insane who is then re-portrayed successfully as being completely rationale and reasonable and is then re-portrayed again as being completely insane, and it's all ABSOLUTELY PLAUSIBLE.  Bizarre story aside, the art is also gorgeous.  For *some* reason, this picture, and all the other pictures of women in this manga, reminds me of the "Mighty Endowed" in Young Justice #1 Our hero, Souichiro, the...uh...blonde Japanese guy with interesting hair.  Clearly this 15 year-old main character worships a certain leather-clad claw-bearing mutant superhero a *little* too mu...wait, wrong comic! Finally, a manga where the short, dark-floopy-haired nerd is not a wussy *AT ALL*.  No hints, no deceptions, not too nice to show it, no irritating personality quirks that get in the way, this kid takes shit from NOBODY. Until I saw LOTR:ROTK, this was possibly the scariest rendition of a fictional giant spider that I've ever seen. I got some more if anyone's interested.  The anime is in production, but having seen some, it looks like the "B-team" drew it, and the script was dumbed down from the manga, which for the most part isn't that brilliant anyway until about halfway through when explanations suddenly became important.  The theme song, however, is one of the most annoyingly ingratiating pieces of Japanese "rap" to have ever come into existence.  Even now it plays in head, constantly.

Today I read the Ultimate Spider-Man vol. 9 tpb which included an issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, and 7 issues of Ultimate Six. And what did I bring away from it all? That Norman/Peter might seriously be my Spider-Man OTP. Picture heavy, so click with caution. ;) So the story arc starts out where Norman Osbourn (the Green Goblin), Dr. Octavius (Doc Oc), Flint Marco (Sandman), Max Dillon (Electro), and Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven the Hunter) are being held together in a S.H.I.E.L.D. containment center. They are even forced to attend a sort of therapy session together, which brings us to our first panel. The 'therapist' asks Norman if he would like to participate. Norman doesn't say anything, until... So now, you're thinking, okay, he wants Harry. The baddies eventually break free, and we find out that no, Norman was not talking about his actual son... (for those who don't follow the series, Norman cooked up a serum that made it so he would completely change into the 'goblin' - hence the big ugly green monster) Anyway. The bad guys all team up, following Norman (and Otto's) plans. Those plans include the capture of Spider-Man. I would comment here on Doc Oc and his arms, and the potential for.. well, yeah, I don't think I need to explain, or make myself come off as even more perverted. *g* And Norman is reunited with his boy. <33333 And here are the following four pages, in which my subtext meter, that is constantly on, went a little weird. oh Norman, you loon. Norman continues to explain his logic. Unfortunately for him, Peter believes he's just a "goofball". but Norman loves him anyway. Call me crazy, but dominant!Norman and submissive!Peter is so. hot. I was tempted to go into Doc Oc and his close, obsessive, loving relationship with his mechanical arms, but this is already enough scans. wkarabou i$ iwi want to eat your brains!X@ i i -2w:marvel, ultimate spider-man, ultimate marvel, ultimate six \V2 iwBatman: The Long HalloweenwIn honor of the release of volume one of Batman: TAS being released on DVD yesterday (it's sooooo awesome ), I ended up rereading The Long Halloween for what has to be the umpteenth time.

Snapper is such a dork: He's skipping a date to go hang out with superheros, despite the fact that he never actually does anything to help them. "I better go meet the Justice League so I can wait behind!" And note that it's not even that they called him. It's that his signal breaks. So he's skipping his date on the off chance that they might call him. So if anyone wonders why YJ Snapper is so bitter and lonely? Now you know. Because a Wonder Woman's place is in the kitchen. There is SO MUCH wrong with that logic. Okay, so the League is going up against some demons who can control them using their identities. Clearly, the solution is to disguise themselves as each other, and thereby fool the demons. Now, if you're anything like me, your first thought is, "Who gets to be Wonder Woman?" That's right.

So, read those first. It's pretty much Peter Gets A Boycrush. And it's obvious that Logan has a soft spot for him, too-- he can't even bring himself to make fun of Peter's costume, which is like, the primary running gag of Ultimate Spiderman-- *everyone* makes fun of the costume. Anyway. These scans are from a short story arc that ran through Ultimate X-Men #34 through #37. Basically, it goes like this. Logan's off on his own in Brooklyn. He gets shot up by a team of government agents led by a mysterious blonde woman. Cut to Peter getting home from school and finding a shot-up Logan in the corner. Now, the last time they met, Peter didn't exactly tell Logan who he *was*, so he's a little surprised to see him there. Until of course Logan tells him that the first time they ran into each other, Logan followed him home. So, Logan heals, with the help of Peter and MJ and some matzoh ball soup. :) Next issue, Logan's about ready to leave, when a bunch of disguised vans pull up in front of the Parker household. Logan recognizes them as the vans with the bad guys in them. Peter strips down and changes in front of Logan. And they snark at each other and it's cute. So they go to Natasha, Logan's ex, for some help. She is unhelpful, but, as Peter observes, also hot. Then he explains how his spider-sense works. Just in time for Logan to get shot with a MISSILE. So Peter swings around going LOGAN!! LOGAN!! for like two and a half pages, and they run into Daredevil, and there's more explosions and shooting, and the blonde bad-guy agent gets the drop on Wolverine and mind-fucks him a little, then shoots him in the head some, calls him "mutie" and "filthy animal" and lots of nice names, and then escapes. Logan and Peter watch her go. Peter's so cute. Then there's a couple of pages of manly bonding and touching and of course Logan says something about responsibility, which means that Peter's now, like, in love with him. The issue ends on the next page, with the X-Men arriving to pick up Logan. Aww cute. This next story also takes place in an Ultimate Marvel Team-Up issue, and I just. I do not know what the deal is with the art. Seriously, I apologize for making you look at it, 'cause I find it incredibly crappy. The story, however, is cute. (I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen before or after the storyline in UXM #34-37, or if it's just out of continuity fun-- maybe someone else on this community knows.) Peter and MJ and some of their friends are skipping school for the day. They end up at the mall, and Peter gets a glimpse of Logan in the crowd. Meanwhile, Logan sniffs the air-- hmm-- and when he spots Peter, he decides to have some fun with him. This kills me, honestly. Logan, the assassin, the seducer, the angstmuffin, who's spent his whole life (the parts he can remember, anyway) getting tortured and killing people, the guy who once dropped Scott into a chasm and left him to die so that he could make it with Jean-- is gonna spend his afternoon off yanking Peter Parker's pigtails like a fifth-grader. For fun. Uh huh. So he tortures Peter for a while and then does it some more until Scott finally has to PULL HIM OFF and they leave. Although not without Logan whispering a smug "Twenty-six, huh?" into Peter's ear. In conclusion: that is why I am writing dirty wrong Peter/Logan slash that will cause all decent people to shun me. ^_^ The end.&x liviapennr i i(xspidey: thereby hangs a taleC i i h3*xGmarvel, ultimate spider-man, ultimate marvel, wolverine, ultimate x-men "f3 i i,xok the following is from Uncanny X-Men Issue 444.

(Starting it Batman 626 -- with TIMMY IN DRAG *ahem*) I just keep loving it MORE. Winick/Nguyen are making me HAPPY. So yeah. The plot. There's a freaky Scarecrow monster wreaking havoc through the Gotham underworld. We don't actually *know* where the thing came from yet -- next ish, probably -- since Crane may just be innocent. The Scarebeast gets the drop on Batman, and psychosis ensues. And what does Bruce fear this month? Just guess. Alfred, being bright, calls for backup: page 11 Have some more fear! How to make a Tim come running... I sense trouble ahead. Man, who knew a Jason hallucination could be problematic? I just need to take a moment... You have to wonder how Tim trained for that. *snif* Bruce woobie. Really, I freaking love Tim's expressions. He's all *replete*.

This is my first post to the community. I finally figured out my dad's scanner, and I've decided to share. These are from the 3 issue Adventures In The Rifle Brigade: Operation Bollock mini series that came out a few years ago. The Rifle Brigade is a group of special British soldiers (and one American) who do secret missions for the Brits during World War II. This particular mini series is a sequel to the first mini, and in it, the Rifle Brigade has been given the daunting task of locating Hitler's missing testicle, which is said to have occult powers. Powers so amazing that whichever army carries it shall be undefeatable! As it turns out, the Sultan of the Arabian country Semmen has the bollock. And our friends in the Rifle Brigade go to his palace to attempt a negotiation with the Sultan for the ball. But they are not there alone. America has sent it's own negotiator... From issue #2, pages 15 and 16. And from issue #3, page 14. x-posted to Mxadgy i iOxTommy^@ i i lV4Qx garth ennis 274 iSxVenom does XTREME sportsTxShort-time lurker, first time poster.

Last time I posted I showed you all the beautiful thing that is Daredevil and Spider-man interacting. This time, it's Spidey and the Human Torch. Recently, after being implicated in an attempt to take over Latveria (it's not quite that simple, but nevermind), the Fantastic Four saw their popularity and credibility in the US plummet. Johnny in particular is distraught, because he goes from media darling to "NYC's Least Eligible Bachelor" (supplanting Spidey's many-year monopoly, which is hilarious when you consider that Peter is married and has been for several years now). However, he swallows his pride and goes to Spidey for advice. The spotlight at the end is a police chopper coming to boot Spidey and Torch off of the Statue of Liberty, by the way. So, Spider-man agrees to help Johnny by dragging him to a waterpark and publically humiliating him. Unfortunately, the villain Hydro-man is working there and assumes they're both after him, and meanwhile the Wizard is hiding in the background and cackling maniacally, but we are not concerning ourselves with these things. No, far more important is is Spider-man ... in the Thing's trenchcoat. There is another recent, hilarious moment with Spidey, a trenchcoat/hat outfit, and Spidey's policeman boyfriend Lamont, but sadly I do not have a scanner with me here. Anyway, Spidey and Torch go back much further than the above adventure (FF 512-513). Years ago, as chronicled in Untold Tales of Spider-man #6, they had one of their earliest of many team-ups, and boy, were the pigtails being pulled. Also, I like how Spidey actually gets to use his brains in the same issue as Reed Richards being mentioned - too often, when Marvel universe's premiere genius is mentioned Peter gets downgraded to "average," which he most certainly is not. (I can't be the only one who wants to see an AU where Peter Parker has the time and money to actually use his brain fully.) But anyway, you're here for the subtext, right? You just know that Torch has gone off to sulk and burn the petals off of daisies, one by one. Sadly, we never get another Spidey/Torch team-up within the pages of Untold Tales, because it is canceled after only 25 issues.nxrabicanR i ipxspidey/daredevilY+@ i i rx0marvel, spider-man, johnny storm, fantastic four V7 itxHellblazer: Hard Timeux(I knew it. As soon as I heard that Keanu Reeves was going to play John Constantine in the Hellblazer movie, I knew things were going to go to the crapper. Never mind the fact that the movie's called Constantine instead of Hellblazer. Never mind that Hellblazer creator Alan Moore wants nothing to do with the movie. It's that God awful trailer complete with Keanu looking as confused as ever that's the last straw. So, before you fall for the Hollywood decoration, some scans from Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben's inaugural run on Hellblazer. Note, the following contains strong language, violence and nudity. So, if you're the squeamish type, DO NOT CLICK. All others, come in. The water's fine. As you can tell from the title of this arc, the setting is indeed a penitentiary. And, how better to introduce the reader to life on the inside? With the first two pages, of course. Yeah, prison's a hard place. Especially when one of the inmates has his eye on you. Unfortunately for Constantine, our friend Traylor has his eye on him. The short of it? Constantine becomes indebted to Traylor and has to repay him somehow. However, since Constantine's still getting the hang of living on the inside, Traylor's boys decide to collect. So, four hardened criminals against a chain-smoking Brit?
Suffice it to say, our boy Constantine's a quick learner. How quick? He knows well enough not to take any shit from anyone. Even from a pack of holy men that deem him 'evil'.
Honestly, why can't people just be civil to one another? The world would be a better place for it. But, here comes yet another act of rudeness. Well, you can imagine by this point Constantine's pretty much in everyone's shit column. So much so, that the heads of the major factions go to the head man on the inside for retribution. And, who better than a lifer who doesn't back down from anyone. He's already in there for life. What's another body here and there. However, there's a little problem in store for the faction leaders. Let's just say, things have gone from bad to worse. Like I said, Constantine's getting the hang of the game. Unfortunately, remember Stark the lifer? Johnny boy didn't really account for the limits of how far Stark's willing to take things. After all, how does one account for someone that no longer cares about the meaning of life?
But, in Stark's defense, he was doing it all for Constantine. The guy's really taking a shying to John. How much? Ehh, that's a story for another day. Needless to say, things go from bad to worse for Constantine as he's placed in solitary confinement. Without a fag in sight. Guess things should get back to the status quo with John out of the picture. Right? Well, if by status quo, you mean a full on riot, then sure. And, even in solitary, Constantine's still got some tricks up his sleeve. Remember Traylor, the thug who sicced his boys on John in the shower? Well, let's just say turn around's fair game. And, remember John's in solitary confinement. Dying for a cigarette. In my honest opinion, one of the most haunting scenes ever put in a comic. So, where are we now? Prisoners on the loose. Riots occurring left and right. And Constantine's the king of the castle. Lesson to be learned? Constantine is not some surfer/rocker/poseur pretty boy. He's hard-boiled. He's dirty. He's on the fucking line. Hell, grey's his favorite color. He's someone, that once you see him, you should feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention and that little voice in your head should tell you to turn the hell around and run the other way into the night. He should not be some dude that says 'whoa' for a living. Anyway, I'm ranting too much now. Just know that I haven't spoiled the ending. In fact, I left out the important stuff. So, if you need a good read, don't hesitate to pick up this trade. It's one you'll read over and over.vx spikespeigel i ixxcloudstrife // meA i i R{7zx outdated link 78 i|x@Young Justice VS No Man's Land (yeah, this is gonna end well...)}xWhile digging through my comic pile for Ivy issues to scan, (still working on the image archive) I came across the Young Justice No Man's Land special. Seeing as how there seems to be more than a few folk here who like Young Justice, (and since I have a soft spot for Superboy) I thought I'd share some scans. The basic premise is that Robin is all bummed out because Batman's banned him from entering Gotham while it's No Man's Land. However, as Superboy points out, he never banned his team-mates. So Robin has to chase after Superboy and Impulse, theoretically giving him an excuse to be in Gotham. And they also team up with some green fish-kid called 'Lagoon Boy'. (I have no idea who he is, nor do I give a crap) Oh Superboy, never change. And Robin is sulking So Impulse has to cheer him up Now, in Gotham they wind up in Robinson Park, and during No Man's Land this is Poison Ivy's territory. (except during the Clayface takeover) Unfortunately they don't run into Ivy herself, (I'd have loved to see Superboy's reaction to her) but they do meet one of her creations... This made me laugh so hard I nearly choked Yes Lagoon Boy, that sounds like an excellent idea. If only... Bart VS Tree And then of course Batman shows up to save them and blasts the Ferak with weedkiller. (boooooooo!) Which is weird since a few issues before he'd encountered one and didn't want to harm it since it was sentient. And killing it also opens up a way into the park for Clayface. (and you do see him lurking outside in the last Gotham panel before the boys bugger off to fight the Kobra Kommandos) Young Justice needed more Lil' Lobo...~x sapphistscot i i i@ i i xdc, young justice 8.8 ixCracked Out Silver Age Funxhttp://www.wtv-zone.com/silverager/jo/jo48.jpg Superman gets his chance to tie up Jimmy Olsen! http://www.wtv-zone.com/silverager/batm/bat133.jpg It's bad enough when a ten year old boy wears hotpants but something that looks like a two year really should not wear them. http://www.wtv-zone.com/silverager/batm/bat110.jpg This is just CREEPY as fudge. http://www.wtv-zone.com/silverager/batm/bat113.jpg Apparently his new superpowers also allow him to dislocate his hip joints. http://www.wtv-zone.com/silverager/batm/bat130.jpg Those aliens sure seem happy to see Robin splayed out in front of them.

This time, I bring you She-Hulk, currently the star of an ongoing comedy title about, um, lawyers for superheroes. She-Hulk is one of them. I've only read two issues of this series so far, but I can't recommend it more - the writing is funny, and continuity-laden without being continuity-bound (if that makes any sense), the art is quirky and lively, the plots are off-beat ... come on, issue 5 has a prison in which all the inmates have been miniaturized. "Who's the cutest little Wrecking Crew? You are! Yes you are!" Anyway, She-Hulk and Spidey have always had a pretty good relationship, since they're both intelligent, frequently underestimated jokers, and they enjoy each other's company. Another part of it might well be that Spidey is one of the only male superheroes who never flirts with She-Hulk or any other female Avenger, or otherwise makes their gender an issue, but I'm not well read enough to back that one up, so don't ask me for details. She-Hulk #4 is all about what happens when She-Hulk's firm takes on Spider-man's lawsuit against J. Jonah Jameson for libel. When the issue is first broached, the perpetually harrassed and semi-broke Peter is naturally ecstatic. Not sure why he's wearing glasses, but I'll forgive that for the sake of his little "spider-mobile" litany and MJ's very intelligently deciding to Ignore Him. Jonah, of course, is not happy. PS. The spider-mobile reference is even funnier if you know that Mark Millar is planning to bring it back in Marvel Knights: Spider-man. No, I have no idea how he's going to pull it off, but hey, let the man have his fun. One thing I really love about this art is that it draws attention to the often glossed-over fact that physically, Spider-man is a pretty weird superhero. I mean, we've all gotten used to the stretchy guys like Elastic/Plastic/Fantastic Man, but this guy is one of the 'standard fighter' superheroes and yet is pretty much incapable of culturally appropriate body posture and moves like a spaghetti strand on acid. Also, he can carry 800-pound people with the soles of his feet. Besides all this, as superheroes go, he's a midget. Not as much of a midget as Wolverine, but even without that adamantium skeleton Logan still outweighs Peter by at least 30 pounds, even though Peter himself is 8 inches taller and all muscle and bone. Plotwise, I'm trying to restrain myself from giving all the fun stuff away (CHICKEN SUITS! ... Sorry.) But I love this exchange. Also this one, which speaks for itself. And here we have a litany of just how weird the lives of the Daily Bugle staff really are. Yes, this all happened. Including Doc Ock almost marrying Aunt May. That's about it. I highly recommend this series and this particular issue, and sincerely apologize for the lack of comic characters acting gay. So here, have some clone bondage.xrabican i i i A i i rWG;xmarvel, links, she-hulk 0h $< ixPS238!xAnd now for something completely different... PS238 is a wonderful and hilarious superhero half-parody/half serious thing written by Aaron Williams. It's put out by Dork Storm Press and is currently one of my most looked forward to comics (and I collect a lot of comics!). I got the first trade paperback the other day, and it's inspired me to post up some fragments, as well as linking to many more :-). PS238 is a primary school for the kids of superheroes who might not get a standard education otherwise. Many of the students are obviously kids of thinly disguised heroes from DC, Image and Marvel, while others are just your generic superhero types. Like little Suzie. She's got radioactive powers: Ummm... The series started with a 'zero' issue, which was basically a set of three page mini-stories introducing the students and staff. They were written as a set of 'advertisements' for the school: That's the spirit! The good news? The creator has actually put almost the entire zero issue up on the website at http://www.ps238.com , starting here. I highly recommend you read it through, because it's very amusing and sets up the idea well. And I'd just like to finish this post out with my favouritest ever pages: See, this comic isn't just about the kids, it also spotlights the teachers. Who are cool and weird :-). Go read!

Such as this one: Superman in Action Comics #765. (May 2000) The Joker and Harley Quinn pay a visit to Metropolis because the Joker's annoyed at Lexie's interference with (the now ended) No-Man's Land story arc. The plan? Humiliate Lex Luthor. (and Mercy) Also, IMHO, this is one of the best mainstream Harley appearances there's ever been, with the exception of her origin story. It easily outstrips anything from the (godawful) Harley Quinn series. I can't believe I bought that series... I absolutely adore this issue. Joker at his chaotic best, Harley staying in-character while managing not to be shunted into the background, and gratuitous Mercy-beating. It's not QUITE as funny as the Reign Of Emperor Joker arc, but it's pretty damn good all the same. Warning, these are all large images! The first two were two-page spreads that I had to cut and paste together (as my scanner bed is A4, boooooo) so there's a big line down the middle of them unfortunately. Best. Intro. Ever. Oh, and what does that camera Harley's using do? Well, it (somehow) makes you bald and makes you think you're Lex Luthor. Or at least the Joker's version of Lex Luthor... I'm Lex Luthor, hear me bore! At this point in the Superman line, Superman is suffering from some kind of illness (I have no idea what, I only bought this issue for Harley and the Joker) as well as having marital difficulties with Lois. (not pictured, and who cares anyway?) As a result of this illness... You hurt him? With HYENAS? And the real point of Joker's trip to Metropolis? Well, you remember Lex's daughter, (the one he lost to save Metropolis) right? Witness rebirth! But the best part of this issue would be Harley VS Mercy, rounds 1 to 3: Round One! Round Two! Round Three! So there ya go. If you're a Joker and/or Harley fan, you need this issue. It's fantastic. (and I may be wrong, but didn't the Joker's diplomatic immunity end waaaaaaaay before this?)x sapphistscot i i ikA i i xdc, superman, harley quinn t< i ixHeh.

Two reasons which confirm my suspicion that Batman is gay. Spider/Bat slash. (You'll handle what exactly? Peter's a taken man.) Ah.... sadly, it only ended up in a handshake. Not mad superhero sex.

Now, I really had to post this because they finally have a more complete Justice League. They're adding six new main characters, and whoever else decided to make a guest appearence. Here's the pic w/ the NEW Justice League: JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED!

And I know that not everyone got all the books or even any of the books a few weeks ago. So, inspired by the scans that put up last week of PS238, I scanned a two page short that was in the Dork Storm FCB issue and also a page from the Teen Titans Go! issue #1 rerelease because it reminded me of a certain fic posted on this morning. Sort of. Of course, there is also the ninja onslaught to take into account. And the fact that Vic and Gar, even in this incarnation, are really secretly married. Or at least madly in love. Really. Ahahaha. They always did need therapy. Actually, I seem to remember reading one of the Silver Age Batman comics where the Riddler was trying to cure himself of his need to plant clues as to what he was doing. And? Please note Dr. Blink's full name. Yeah. 8yshala2 i; i:ybslfOuA i i y I was digging through some Exile books, and these following made me remember why I love them so. And why I love Morphs sexual humor. They're a little wordy, but nonetheless. Morph at his finest. And this. I love Sunfire. This was later on. Or earlier. Either way. I still laughed. Sunfire with Illyana. Mmmmmmm... I also found this. Now, I have no idea where it's from, but I found it here. And I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why the hell Warren is in a speedo. A purple, string bikini is more like it. While sitting on Iceman's shoulders (which reminds me of a certain story I've been reading). Also, I spent a good amount of time following that trying to figure out if Beast is wearing anything besides Bishops hair. ?yezea i i iA i i %AAy outdated link 7A iCy-Marvel Team-Up #105/Power Man & Iron Fist #58DyWell, there's no point in denying that I am officially obsessed with my new OTP, Power Man (Luke Cage) and Iron Fist (Danny Rand). Luke and Danny are out at a disco with their beards dates, but instead of enjoying his evening with a foxy lady, all Luke can think about is how much money it's going to cost him. Luckily, El Aguila shows up to break the monotony of heterosexual socializing. And a more masculine and intimidating villain there never was, to be sure. Their life together isn't all about fighting crime, though. Even when they're hot on the trail of the bad guy, Luke always takes the time to stop and smell the flowers. Or caress his lover's cheek. They can't spend too much time dillydallying, though, because you never know when the Hulk will attack your airplane, forcing you to crash land in the desert and get marched away at gunpoint by hillbillies while your boyfriend is sprawled unconscious in the sand. The hillbillies mistake Luke for the Hulk, and they put him to work moving rocks. He is befriended by a young girl named Patty, who brings him a drink of water. Luke feels bad for her, living out in the desert with the hillbillies, and vows to show her how to have fun ... "when Danny shows up." Sadly, the Hulk shows up *with* Danny, and there isn't any time for kinky Luke/Danny/Patty fun while Luke and Danny kick the Hulk's ass. Once it's all over with, they decide to take Patty home with them. Danny and Luke have a sweet little chat about how if only the Hulk could find a special friend like they are to each other, he wouldn't be so angry all the time. In other words, the Hulk needs to get laid. Back in New York, Danny and Luke make good on their promise to show Patty a good time. And how do they do that? Why, they take her to one of their fashion shows, of course! And they all live happily ever after.

I love the skewed bents on old scans! I've always loved the old Lois Lane comics from the 60s, but when I was rereading them lately, I noticed that ol' Supes is kind of a misogynist! He was always ranting about having to "punish" Lois (I really need to find the issue with the notorious spankbot) in this ish, Superman goes back a few years in the past and gets a job at a radio station instead of the Daily Planet, so he won't have to deal with Lois anymore. Naturally, there's a woman there with the initials L.L., who is constantly to figure out if he's Superman, and naturally he foils her! Superman goes into the future, and runs into Lois' descendant, "Lois 4XR". At first, there's high hopes that the women in the future are a bit more independent... right? right? syalenaU i i iq A i i uy*lois lane, dc, crack, superman, silver age +LB iwyBatman/Superman (first post!)xy=So I borrowed World's Finest from work (I work at a Borders, and employees are allowed to borrow stuff as long as we bring it back all nice and shiny), and decided that it simply HAD to be posted here. Because, really, Superman and Batman? SO IN LOVE. Also I really liked the story. Although I have to admit the slash caught me first. There are a lot of scans here, and some of them have the sides cut off a bit, since if I break the spine I have to buy the book. (It's Kesel, Taylor, Doherty, Nolan, and Morgan, FYI.) I dilligently copied the text; please don't shun me for my crummy scans. *cowers* Also, I tried not to give too much away, but don't click if you're spoiler-phobic. Essentially the story is this; Clark and Bruce are both friends with this guy Harrison Grey, and at a benefit for his new plastic surgery center he's kidnapped and killed. They blame their inability to work together as Batman and Superman, and so meet every year to sort of atone for their failure. Anyway, at this point they've apparently met as Bats and Supes, but not as Clark and Bruce. And Clark has the biggest boycrush ever on Bruce's studly self. Not that I blame him. This one just makes me giggle. Note: Yes, right next to Superman is indeed where Batman belongs. Superman pretends to be a lunatic who thinks he's Superman so that he can get sent to Arkham and write a scoop for the Planet as Clark. It goes...badly. That last line of Batman's is: "What's wrong is you assumed I'd be your backup--just because it's the anniversary of Harrison Grey's death! You act like we're partners--or friends! Or lovers!" (Okay, so I added that last bit.) Superman: No--you've made it very clear we're not friends...But you must've enjoyed our past team-ups enough to go out and get a partner. Though why you chose a young boy, I'll never-- Batman: *is bitchy* At this point, Bats and Supes have learned each other's secret IDs, so Bruce comes to visit Clark at work. Making Clark's other significant other a bit curious... Bruce: Sorry I couldn't get here any sooner, Clark. Wanted to fly in, but... Clark: Not a problem, Bruce. You did everything humanly possible...and this is a lot easier than some of the other times--now that we know how to, um, get in touch with each other. Thanks for coming all the way to Metropolis. Bruce: Least I could do, since your article will commemorate our old friend Harrison Grey--the fifth anniversary of his death. And you've come to Gotham often enough before... Lois: You've been to Gotham, Clark--more than once? What in the world for? Me: Gay sex, lois. Gay sex. Clark: Oh, you see, Lois, there's, um, there's actually quite a few tourist attractions! Yes, and... Me: ...and naked billionaire playboys! So in a nod to the general WTFiness of many S/B team-ups, this story has our heroes facing Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite. Really. And they start arguing over which hero is better, and set up this whole competition, with Lois as the damsel in distress (because she's just so darn good at that!). Resulting in something quite similar to this post by . Bat-Mite's line in the fourth panel: That it's only fair I even the odds by bringing in Robin the Boy Wonder! Yes. Bring in Superman's true love; obviously the parallel fits. So then Dick wants Batman to treat him like he treats Lois. Huh. Superman, third panel: ...And I know people treat me one way when I'm Superman--but when I'm in a suit and tie...I'm just like any other person. Sounds like Dick needs an Extreme Makeover, stat. After, of course, Batman and Lois are granted superpowers and Dick is granted a sexy new look. Could Bruce and Dick BE more of a couple? Truth, Mxyzptlk, truth. Their next meeting happens after Jason's death, and Superman decides he's going to get Batman out of his funk, come hell or high water. So he kidnaps him. Really. I'd just like to note that Batman, who is determined to be the Poutiest Princess ever, is making the same face my kitten makes when you pick her up and she doesn't want you to and there's nothing she can do about it. *loves* This moment is both really touching in a non-slashy way, and really funny in a slashy way. The best kind of moment, in my opinion. Batmam (re: Dick and Jason): I didn't look for either of them. They found me. They were part of my life before I even met them. A typical day in Smallville. Superman delivers a baby (really!). Batman makes out with a dude. (Okay, it's an old dude, and he's performing CPR, but still...) Then Clark takes Bruce home to meet his parents (Aw, so old fashioned!) and Martha asks what the baby's name is. The next story is some weird Lex Luthor/Catwoman escapade. *shrug* This was my favorite part. Alfred: Will you just go meet up with your lover so we can GO? Bruce: *is boring* Lex: *says "man-servant"* Me: *snickers* Batman and Superman: *run through a locker room full of half-naked men. No, really* Final story. Metropolis supervillians try to take over Gotham. Madness ensues. Every sidekick ever helps out. And Robin and Superboy overcome Poison Ivy's feminine wiles with the Power of the Gay. And Batman steals the Joker's new boy toy, Jimmy Olsen...although not without threats... All that remains is a wedding. Clark's date? Lois, of course.

The really sad thing is that if it'd been brought out these days it would have sold bucketloads because, hello! Morrison/Millar! Sadly though, this was published pre-superstardom and it sank like the Titanic. Which is a real pity, 'cause it was good. It starred Aztek, otherwise known as Uno or Curt Falconer, the name he managed to almost inadventantly steal off a dead guy in the first issue. Uno was raised by a super-secret (and rather sinister) society in the Andes to save the world, which is not really that odd in the DC universe, let's face it. He was a supremely well trained superhero who was genuinely good at his job. There were no "getting into it" jitters on the superhero front, he knew what he was doing. Outside the suit, however? Thing is, he'd spent his entire life training with a bunch of dead serious blokes in the mountains, and he was dropped into a seriously depressing American town with no job, no ID and little idea of what living in an American city actually involved. He managed to stumble into a job at a hospital purely by co-incidence and spent most of the book constantly having his rather rosy view of humanity shot down at every turn. Sometimes quite horrifically. Under all the superhero trappings, Uno was just a really nice and rather painfully naive guy. He was a real breath of fresh air. And he never took off, so he got killed in one of the JLA 'big crossover events' a few years later. *sigh* It's always the bloody way... Aztek finds a lizard and shares a moment of tongue-sticking-out bonding :-). Remember what I was saying about the whole naive thing :-)? It's certainly a unique way of dealing with the problem, I gotta say :-). *snicker* One of my favourite pages. See, he's never actually been in a restaurant before :-). And this bit? Is just inspired. It came from the back of one of the issues and provided a neat look at the bueracracy of being a superhero. It apparently involves forms. Many forms.

Translation Vol. 19 - The girl from Pompeii Note: Each new speach bubble starts with a ":". No matter how strangly shapped the bubble, if it is enclosed in one circle, I count it as only a single bubble. Note2: When 009 says "Albert," in this translation, he is actually saying "Heinrich" (004's last name)in Japanese. I changed this to Albert because a, that's what you do in English and b, the Japanese animation made the same change. Note3: 004 still calls 009 "Joe". ************************************************************************************ **Title page: The girl from Pompeii http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page93.jpg **Page 94-95: (A volcano erupts.) http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page94-95.jpg *Page 96: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page96.jpg SFX: RRmmm! 004: What was.. :that noise? **Page 97: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page97.jpg 004:… **Page 98: (004 sees a girl.)http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page98.jpg **Page 99: (Girl runs away.) http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v336/paulafromtwosonjp/vol19page99.jpg 004: What do I look like? :a monster or something?

So here are six icons from Batman #630. 1) If you take one (or two, or three, etc.,), let me know in the Comments. 2) Credit, please. 3) Modify to your heart's content. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. y mojojojoojo i4y6"I Never Even Told You (Tia Carrere)" - Shirley Walker iNA i i ,*Gy icons, dc RևeH iy Defenders!y-Ah, Marvel crack. DC has much in the way of crack, but Marvel? Marvel has the crack that makes your eyes bleed. Also? Marvel crack is very very gay. Defenders especially. Don't remember the Defenders? Thats okay, most people don't. And even fewer people remember the New Defenders. However, this comic was one of the crackiest of all Marvel crack comics. And it was also very gay. SO GAY! Just... DUDE. Yeah. I am weak from laughing over this, I tell you. "A real pistol"?!?!!! "Boychik"?!?!?! *dies* Silly Warren, Bobby doesn't NEED a date on Saturday night when he has his two bestest boyfriends around to keep him company and dance with him. *ahem* *giggles hysterically* But the gay doesn't stop there, folks! In fact, we get the whole GLBT spectrum added in here, just for fun! Anyone remember Cloud? No? Well here is a rundown on who Cloud is. And who Cloud is just happens to be THE most screwed up, retconned-into-weirdness character EVER. (Want to dispute that statement? Please do. And give examples.) Moondragon has just been mentally raped and her female teammate Cloud thinks that now is a good time to profess love? Over the course of a couple of the previous issues, Cloud (a GIRL) had been falling in love with the sexy Moondragon. But it is WRONG for a girl to love another girl (*rolls eyes*) so Voila! Cloud becomes a guy. Yes, Bobby, kiss him KISS HIM!!! Yes, Bobby, you are totally acting like a hypocrite because you are very very gay. So there, nyah! Defenders -- especially the New Defenders -- was a REALLY weird book. Besides having a random elf that showed up and shot people completely unrelated to the plot, the alarm system for their Arizona mansion was... different. You see why I say this is crack? It IS!!! Angel gets in on the Cloud action, too. Actually, I just like these images. (Context: Angel has been blinded so Cloud must fly with him to "see" for him.) See, Cloud doesn't feel the need to wear clothes most of the time. He/she just goes around in wisps of cloud-stuff ususally. Later, Cloud is rejected by Moondragon, awwww. Unfortunately, Moondragon and Cloud just don't work out. Possibly because Moondragon turned all evil, but hey, Cloud was originally evil (then she was just brainwashed and then... well, you'll see). So Bobby kinda wants to date Cloud but there is just one, teensy little problem... C'mon Bobby, just admit that her being able to turn into a guy is a massive turn on. Except. Well. Cloud? Is, um, SPECIAL. You see... Okay, first off, a pair of lovers are found in comas who look JUST LIKE Cloud does in her human forms. She doesn't want to see them. Seriously, Bobby, you should have just taken her away right there, because later it turns out that Cloud is actually a sentient nebula. Yes. Yes, you read that right. A SENTIENT NEBULA. Once she gets her memory back she takes the Defenders into space to help her, yada yada yada, and in the end she has to leave Bobby to go give birth to stars and stuff. "you'll shine through the heavens"? With Cloud in it's two human(ish) forms AND an Iceman form saying goodbye to Iceman himself...? WTF?!? Is he/she/it saying that he/she/it is going to have Iceman's baby!?!?!!! This is so freakin' weird and messed up. (BTW, that isn't Captain American, it's the Cosmic Cube taking the form of Cap. As, you know, cosmic entities do, natch.) So. Opinions? Thoughts? Do you now agree with me that Defenders was a very gay (and very CRACK) comic?y cloudtrader i iycandy is bad for youA i i y outdated link  XI iyBirds of Prey #71 squeeing!y&Hi all! First time poster... My dear, dear friend and I were terribly amused by Birds of Prey #71. She posted this convo we had together in her journal, along with these pics to illustrate, and I decided to steal her HTML post it here!

Too many naked-but-in-the-dark crotch and ass shots. And those freaking torpedo-boobs. Havok: Catwoman's boobs can TAKE OUT SOMEONE'S EYE. Buzzy: *dies laughing* Havok: SERIOUSLY. I STOPPED READING.

Havok: ...nevermind. *no energy* Buzzy: *laughs* Buzzy: Dinah/Babs... it was definitely there. Havok: i just.. babs/dinah omg. Buzzy: But I don't like to think of them that way.

Naturally, Metropolis is bright and sunny and not gloomy like Gotham. And Superman has funny standing-in-the-air postures. If you can't quite see what Batman is saying in the first panel, it's "I'm usually stealthier than that . . ." And then it turns out that THE SUPERVILLAIN that Batman is chasing is Luthor. Who is of course all safe and locked up in prison. And then they go to a place where Batman got a tip Luthor's evil project thing would be and they get their asses kicked and the villain is revealed to be . . . Future!Luthor! And Superman is very superficial. So they beat him, blah blah blah, and maybe they rewrote history! Or maybe not . . . Because Luthor likes to write lists when he is bored. And obviously prison is a very boring place. Ahahahaha. Have enlarged the panel with the list in it, also, so it is a bit more clear. Because it is a cute list of revenge-plotting.

For this undercover job, he procures a special pair of jeans. A very, very special pair of jeans. I love that five issues in, Ollie's ass is already becoming a theme--nay, a motif. And issue 3 is where Hannigan, the penciller, and Grell become two of my favoritest people of the night, or possibly year, because this panel of Dinah is possibly the most beautiful, *sexiest* woman I've ever seen in a comic. And look what she's wearing. That's right. It's not skintight, it covers a seasonally appropriate--and *practical*--amount of skin, it's not fetish gear. And I still find her so attractive it makes my tummy go all gooey. ...okay, that's possibly TMI, but it's so rare that I can get my feminist joy on. So, you know, I'm sharing. And telling everyone to love Hannigan. LOVE HIM A LOT. The text, btw, is: "As the saying goes...you should see the *other* guys. And yes, Oliver, for the first time in a very long time...I *am* alright. I now realize that this is what I had been afraid of all along-- --that when the moment came, I wouldn't be able to fight back. And you know what? When it happened, I didn't even think about it. I just *moved.* God, it felt good to be *me* again." So you should also love Grell. Although I'm reserving the right to rescind that love if he fucks up. *g*2z lcsbanana i i4zSteph rules!

PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN #43

Summary: "It's that time of the year again, so oil up those pecs, slip on your thong and head down to the "Sonic TV Spring Break House" for some serious partying. Everyone's there: Tiffany, N'Step, Crisco and a little something - make that someone - under the sand that's going to require Spidey's attention...That is if he can survive the madness."

XPz liquidpenguin[ ie izspidey dignityn8A i i hNz outdated link mN izWolverine: the Jungle AdventurezWe were discussing this on one of my mailing lists today, after someone asked about Logan's son, listed in the 2004 X-Men Official Handbook as "Erista". I promised scans, and I figured I might as well post them here, too. Wolverine: the Jungle Adventure (cover here) 1990 Written by Walter Simonson Art by Mike Mignola (!!!) This is the story, as told in flashback by the wrinkled shaman, of "the coming of the son of heaven." One day, while the Ooga Boogas (er, not their formal name. Just what I call them) are busy worshipping their "gift of the gods," a flying honker descends on them. Turns out the "gift of the gods" is Logan's lighter. No, really. The Ooga Booga chieftain makes a crack about Logan's height. They fight. Logan wins, thus becoming Head Ooga Booga. Later on, the former Head Ooga Booga pays a visit to Logan's new cave. Turns out she's a chick! So they have sex. Her name is "Gahck." If you kinda make the noise like a cat coughing up a hairball, I think that's how you pronounce that. Anyway, Logan tells Gahck that he received a mysterious invitation to a Broadway premiere (insert Boy From Oz joke here). He was ambushed at the show by an exploding cyborg that smelled like it was from the Savage Land. Intent on finding out what the skinny was, Logan ended up in the Savage Land, dropping in on the Ooga Boogas. Logan settles in to life as Head Ooga Booga, even though it means fighting the occasional spiny honker. The Ooga Booga's are grateful, and throw him a finger painting party. Unfortunately, soon a Honker of Doom appears and kills one of the little Ooga Boogas. Which makes some of them kinda pissed at Logan. He goes out and kills the Honker of Doom for them anyway. Turns out it's a cyborg, too. Logan decides to put on his fightin' duds and find the cyborg HQ. When he gets there, he finds Apocalypse! They fight. Logan ends up getting captured and tied up. But that lighter comes in handy. Logan defeats Apocalypse and something funny happens. You're never gonna believe this. Apocalypse is a cyborg, too! No shit. While he's poking around the cyborg HQ, Logan makes a rather disturbing discovery. An Apocalypse hologram shows up and explains what's the what. Logan puts the lighter to good use one last time. Then he hops in his airplane and takes off, leaving behind a little souvenir for Gahck. The End I think making images available on the internet and then not allowing anyone to use them is silly, so my usual scan usage rules apply, meaning you are free to make icons, use these on your website, or whatever else floats your boat.

He's my favourite character ever. Thing is, no one seems to really a) know much about him or b) like him. But dammit, he's cool! He's angsty! What's not to like? Here are some of my favourite scans from his series, in a vain attempt to change people's minds. Plus, there's Nightwing being a stud. If that's not incentive, I don't know what is :-). Firstly, he's a page from the first issue, which should twig you off to the fact that Az is not your average heroic figure. Most series start with the hero being heroic and saving someone. This series starts with Jean Paul living on the streets, barely able to recall his own name, and having periodic delusional episodes. And here's the promised Nightwing appearance, from early on in the book: And here's JP's response. I love this scene. It just shows what a painfully bad childhood he's had. He just has no idea how to deal with any type of human interaction. His only way of dealing with these foreign emotions? Escape into Azrael. And this is another of my favourite scenes for the expression on his face at the end. Because you can see that he's genuinely trying to stop himself, he's genuinely appalled at what he's doing, but the angel inside of him won't let him stop. And finally, this really sums up poor Jean Paul's entire life: *hugs JP* zblinkytreefrogc i< i iKnD i i z!azrael, dc: bat-titles, nightwing ¨|O i izI was getting sick of trying to figure out tables so I decided to post some comicbook images I'm using for a website.

BART has a big face <-- for the main page Bart claims to be a mystery. <-- this actually takes place right after the picture below. I think I included it for a mocking caption.

It's for the XS page. Bart in a dream sequence to his cousin. A Max moment <-- Max deals with closeted teenagers Go, love the red-haired girl! <-- Brainiac has a new friend.

Some of them are stolen, which gives Batman the opportunity to hunt down the... Midnight Rustler of Gotham City! Also featured: Bruce Wayne going undercover as a card hustler (the disguise is brilliant...*g*), and, of course, the very dramatic cattle-herding scene that the cover had led me to hope for.

However, eight years apart does strange things to a friendship. Especially when one of the people in question is the Punisher. Also, if you don't know what MAX means, it means adult situations ahead. And, since it's Garth Ennis, you should know what you're in for. If you're squeamish or easily offended, don't click. Simple, no? Now, on with the show. And so endeth the friendship that was Frank and Micro. Gotta hand it to Ennis, he actually managed to make Micro interesting. Shame it didn't last.

First of all, a very long time ago a reader wrote in to suggest that Spidey's costume have a minor change, for the sake of variety. Here's his letter. I propose we all laugh, or perhaps wince at the very idea. Because owwww. MJ has a ginchy new hairdo, and Gwen is ... rastafarian? I'm not sure how to describe that dress. Thankfully she gets her decently dressed moments too. In case you can't tell, there she and Flash Thompson are discussing Spidey. Flash is Spidey's biggest fan, but at this point in time really dislikes Peter (later on they become close friends - Flash is best man at Peter and MJ's wedding). This glorious turn of phrase needs no explanation whatsoever. And then there was flashback month, when every single Spidey title a few years back had a, um, flashback story. Mostly these were about Peter's childhood (though Untold Tales of Spider-man, being already a flashback title, went straight back to his parents that month). We had charming little things like the anatomy of a nerd and Peter dreaming of being a Golden Age superhero (particularly fond of the Whizzer one). And then we had this. And this. And this. I almost literally yelped and backed away from the computer when I was first confronted with that. To cheer you up, my favorite Spider-man cover ever. And that's all, folks.

It's the last issue from Peter David, who had a great twelve year run on the book before being forced off by the Marvel bigwigs (stupid Bob Harass). Anyway, this is Peter's final gift to all of his fans. The last Hulk story ever. No matter what's happening now in continuity, this is how it's gonna end. This is the last story of the Hulk. So, I present to you the issue in its entirety. No funny comments. The only info that you might need is that when you get to the spreads, read from left to right and just consider it one big page. Also, the woman standing next to General Ross is Cary St. Lawrence. Other than that, the issue speaks for itself, as well as Peter's love for this character he nurtured for over a decade.

I also have five pages from Beast Boy #1 I wanted to share. Beast Boy was a four-part miniseries that came out in 2000 that was supposed to lead up to the creation of Titans L.A., which never got green-lighted.

Hello, I'm your newbie host for tonight's program.  We'll set the subtext detector to "high", crank up the Way-Back machine, and travel to a special time - a time when Spider-man and his most hated arch-nemesis could team up together, while only insulting each others' outfits, intelligence, and mental stabilty.  Also, Gobby realizes that lying to your boyfriend isn't the best way to create trust in a relationship. According to the handy little guide in the back, the story takes place between Amazing Spider-man #23 (Goblin tries to take over a mob and accidently gets them all arrested) and #24 (Mysterio tries to convince Spidey he's insane). After failing to take over the underworld by himself, Gobby goes looking for a partner. Meet his new boyfriend, the Crimemaster. The Crimemaster demands honesty.  The Goblin lies.  And then talks to himself.  Because this is an old school comic. Peter Parker tours Empire State University. Everybody's here:  Flash Thompson (dressed up like Spider-man), Liz Allen (married into the Osborn family - 'nuff said), Professor Warren (the Jackal - a mind behind the Clone Saga) who is obsessed with  Gwen Stacy (can't have a modern Spidey/Goblin story without her)... and even Harry Osborn (killed by the Goblin formula after doing something heroic). The plot moves along, as Peter notices something amiss: Norman is looking way too spiffy today in a green suit.. Oh, no!  Not him! Spidey asks a question that is still relevant today.  And Norman isn't wearing gloves. This issue gets added to my list.  Hell-o Out of Context Theater! Norman keeps his costume in a pink box. Yes, everybody in the world is here:  Norman Osborn, his new boyfriend, his old boyfriend, and his future boyfriend are all in or near the building.  Everybody from the main supporting cast is here, too, except MJ. Flash wants to watch.  And the Crimemaster criticizes the Goblin's technique. Spider-man wants to the Goblin all to himself. Stop that infernal bounding! JJJ tries to come out of the closet. Here's where things get tricky:  the old boyfriend is safely knocked out in the closet.  The future boyfriend is critiquing Norman's wardrobe.  The current boyfriend, though, is pissed that his partner is chasing after a younger man instead of just grabbing the phallic object and coming home.  So... If your boyfriend cheats on you, kill them both. Avoiding electricity on a metal glider... The "flying steel rods" environment Spidey gets up close and personal with the phallic object. "After the implosion has spent its force...". Crimemaster wants to break up. Later:  Crimemaster and Goblin vie again for control of the underworld... and Spidey ends up chained up and thrown to the minions.  Then the cops shoot Crimemaster outside JJJ's office window.  He dies before he reveals the Goblin's "secret identity". Norman and Peter's in-costume relationship continues to develop, with the themes of waiting to fight until one of them finishes changing into his costume, bondage, questionable quips, and bitching featuring predominantly.

The basic plot revolves around Impulse taking Arrowette to school (and later to a school dance) with him because he's trying to distract her from her horrible angst over having nearly murdered someone (in YJ). Here, Ayana explains the basic setup to us, how nice: No, she couldn't possibly have a crush on Bart. Nope. Hearts in her eyes mean nothing. At the very least, we know they mean nothing to Bart. And then: Yeah, Preston. You want Bart to 'hold' your ring for you. Gotcha. Meanwhile, Mike wants Bart to 'hold' his ring too: That 'I've got gym!' excuse is wearing way thin. While I'm here, I've got a few random scans of Bart from his very first appearance, in Flash 92-94. He's sort of ambiguously-around-eighteen in these books, and Mark Waid apparently regressed him in order to make the fourteen-to-fifteen-year-old ADD posterboy that we all know and love. (Links will all open in new windows.) Iris Allen explains Bart's general backstory. Wally West, after thinking that he's killed him, discovers that Elvis lives Bart's actually okay and no longer aging rapidly. Apparently having the Flash set you on fire results in mousse abuse. Shades of things to come. More shades of things to come. Yep, Bart can vibrate through solid objects just like Grandpa Barry. Wally can't. HAAAA ha ha ha ahem.

I have thousands of the things and I've never read a first issue that came together so damn well. The concept, the characterisation, the artwork. If you haven't picked this up yet, do it. It's just bloody brilliant. Mitchell Hundred was an ordinary civil engineer, until he has a bizarre and horrific accident: So Mitchell decides to become the worlds first superhero. Well, after some persuasion he decides to become the world's first superhero. At first his reaction's a little less enthusiastic :-). But he is persuaded, and goes out into New York City like this: Unfortunately, this ain't the DC universe, and people react in exactly the same way people tend to react in our society when nutcases dress up in costumes and decide to be superheroes. So Mitchell wises up, realises he can do more good in other areas, and decides to run for Mayor of New York as an independent. And he wins, by an unprecedented amount. Now he's not only a guy who can talk to machines, he's the Mayor of New York, who can talk to machines. And the characters are good, and the plot is great, and the situations that come up make the whole thing seem like a comic version of the West Wing, except with a guy who can talk to machines. So yeah, cool. And finally... Okay, I debated whether to post these pages because if you want to read this story they spoil everything. I'm not kidding. If you are at all inspired to pick up the book after seeing this, don't click on these links. Really, seriously. If you're not convinced from what you've seen so far... well, these pages might do it. Or they might not. Which ever way, they are cool. See, you know how, even though he was an independent, he actually won?

The Goon is a hilarious horror/comedy blend from writer, painter, and funnybooker Eric Powell. It’s published by Darkhorse Comics every second month. It’s one of my favorite titles because the writing can be both serious and randomly silly but is always on target and the art is comedic but mature. The Goon is getting noticed. It recently tied for first place with Conan #0 in the category of Best Single Issue (or One-Shot) at the Eisner Awards in 2004. Issue #8 just came out this month and it looks like Powell, who is always self-effacing towards popularity, added a two page gag about the whole thing.

Yes, that's right, Jack Drake keeps it with his golf clubs! Just...  Just...  ARGH!! Earlier, Jack explains that the Ninth marched into Scotland and was never seen again.  Well, gee, that might be have been the belief when Rosemary Sutcliff wrote the Eagle of the Ninth but things have moved on a little since then.  If that school of thought was correct, then the Ninth disappeared in 117AD.  So, um, how come there's evidence that it served in Nijmegan, Netherlands, between 120AD and 130AD; that it was in Carlisle in 120AD; and that it was in Judea, under Hadrian, in 132-135AD?  Not to mention the fact there's further evidence suggesting it was destroyed in Armenia in 161AD? If the latter's correct, the Eagle would have been destroyed.  Therefore, it would not be in with Jack Drake's golf clubs.  Even if it was, that monstrous, shiny thing on a golden staff is not a Roman Eagle.  The Eagles looked more like this. *pant*pant* Okay.  I've managed to get my inner historian under control now.  Just. |derryderrydown=|enraged |Thea Gilmore - Mud on my shoes|dc - cyborg chakchakklank!5A i i |1dc, batgirl, damion scott, chuck dixon, tim drakeH^ BE|\ i| Beast Boy #2| Earlier, I posted some scans from Beast Boy #1.

I don't know if Cassie'd put up with that, but Tana did, and seemed to like posing for him: Eventually, we get to the heart of the issue (I guess), which deals with a fellow called King Shark, who tends to need to eat people.

Thus, I share. Here are some samples of The Legendary Couple, by artist Tony Wong and writer Louis Cha. Isn't the art wonderful?

(And yes, I know the numbering is funky. Rename them and deal, 'cause I don't feel like going through all this again.) Our story begins with our hero and villain out at the movies together. Unfortunately, the flick doesn't quite seem to agree with Norman -- perhaps its all those repressed memories, or maybe he's just allergic to all the backstory Peter and Georgie-boy Stacy are two-teaming him with. Either way, the results aren't good. But, y'know, supervillain in danger of recovering his repressed memories or no, Peter still has to make a visit to his Aunt May, who amazes us with her grasp of teenage slang. And Norman's problems are described as an "awesome affliction." (Tubular, dude.) Inevitably, though (or else it wouldn't be much of a story, would it?) Osborn's memories come rushing back, leading the fangirl in me (which is most of me really), to giggle and cheer. Damn straight, Norm! (Or not so straight, as we'll soon see.) Newly energised, he rushes out of the hospital, leaving only a panel in which for us to wonder whether him, Harry, and the doctor all shop at the same shoe store. Wandering into "one of the most sordid slum areas which infest the savage, sprawling city" (alliteration is your friend!), we discover that the Goblin has really, really sucky safehouses. Reunited with his costume and equipment, Norman declares to us (and whoever's in the rooms next to his) that the Green Goblin has returned, "more unbeatable that before!" (Which isn't saying much, really, considering he kinda, y'know... wasn't.) But enough of Norman for now. (Never enough!) Back to Parker, who appears just as obsessed with Osborn as the latter is with him. Point and laugh at the angsting Spidey, folks. But, y'know, Peter's just concerned about Aunt May (who appears to have acquired her nephew's spider-sense) out about his 'thing' for Norman. Oh. And about him being Spider-Man, too, I guess. So. You're a supervillain who knows your enemy's greatest secret. What are you going to do next? How about... invite him to a party? "He wants me there... the others are just a coverup!" *snerk* "Hello there Parker... and young ladies!" Norman is very interested in Peter's personal life. (In other news, MJ's perm scares me, and Harry still hasn't changed out of that suit. >_<) "Yes indeed, Parker.... I've been wanting to get to know you better! I've been wanting to find out if you're all Harry says to are!" One of the better uses for webbing: smoke bombs. Norman is pissed, of course, and in his anger... proclaims his intentions to "settle up" with Peter. Peter suits up and chases after Gobby, musing on the virtues of his "way-out webbing" as he does. And Gobby makes a bad pun, and demonstrates his phallic new weaponry. How phallic, you ask? Very, very phallic. *coughs* Positioning. "Here he comes! This is it--!" Just... yeah. Spidey turns the tables. Gobby appears confused about his own weapons... those aren't quite "little flying discs," hon. The "psychedelic pumpkin bomb" just wants a hug. And to make sure Peter knows who his "master" is. More hallucinations! Whee! But no worries... Spidey's still got his brain! his brain that "gives [him] hope when there is no hope!" "You surprise me, masked man!" And Peter bruises poor Norman's ego. (as well as other things.) :( The strength in Gobby's fingers is "incredible," according to Peter. Interesting superpower, there... But in the end, all the Goblin wanted was a hug. Awww. So kids, what's the best way to deal with a nutcase who knows your greatest secret? Wave a hallucinogenic pumpkin under his nose, of course, and fuck him up way beyond what he was before. ("You brainwashed me, you bastard!" "You started it!") Out of kindness and fatigue, I'll leave all "turn you off" jokes to the reader. Surprisingly enough, Peter's ham-handed psychotherapy seems to work... for the moment, at least. And Norman's fine tradition of shirt-ripping begins. (Seriously. I can think of at least two, three other occasions, though this is the only in actual costume.) And really, there are no words. Just... none. And of course, Harry gets blamed for everything, as is par for the course. Poor kid. (On a side note: Everything considered, Norman must be wearing clothes from Peter's apartment in this scene. But I think we can agree Peter's stuff wouldn't quite fit Norman... Cue the speculation. *grins*) And again with the shoes! As the story ends, Peter has a beautiful young woman on each arm, and still can't stop thinking about Norman. (And just what is a "glitzy sundae," anyway?) Aww. Too bad about the whole, y'know, Gwen thing. And the clone thing. Adn teh Baby May thing. And... well. Yeah.

It is also very possible that Connor is equally in love with Kyle. So in hopes that someone will see these scans and go, "By Jove, she's right! I'd better write some smutty fanfiction!", I present: Why Connor Hawke and Kyle Rayner are OTP: a study in pictures First, let's look at their first meeting: Kyle makes a big phallic gun to show off his powers! Connor is unimpressed! Then Connor imparts a Valuable Moral Lesson! Animosity? Gone! So they bond on their shared crappy parents! And Kyle just can't get enough Connor! So, okay, that laid the foundation. Then they team up to find Kyle's dad. So not only did Kyle lie about not going on a road trip, he can't use the world's most powerful piece of jewelry to make a car wide enough that they're not practically sitting in each other's laps Tell me they're not acting like an old married couple So they go into town and bond. Also, Kyle cannot keep his hands off Connor So much touching! Also, Connor says that hanging out with Kyle is changing his perspective on women. There you have it, folks, Kyle makes Connor gay. Okay, then they're hanging out with Fyers and Crackshot, which leaves very little time for the LOVE and SNUGGLING. But later on Connor goes to New York to visit his mom, and since it's a comic book, CHAOS REIGNS. So Kyle comes and saves Connor! And shows off! And they hold hands more! And Kyle keeps touching Connor! And asks him on a date! And Connor's like, "Shh, not in front of my mom." And it's the most stereotypical New York date ever! A carriage pegusus ride in over Central Park! Connor/Kyle: OTP of almost an entire minority Of course, when you're riding separate horses, you can't be pressed together, with your boyfriend clinging to you to keep from falling.

The first issue was advertisements for the school, in which some recurring characters make their first appearances. First, "Murphy," a special-needs student even for this school: Second, "Zodon," who is...for a while, anyway...the only wee supervillain child at the school: He's like the horrific love child of Stewie from Family Guy and Cartman of South Park, I think. Then, onto a little classroom action! Captain Clarinet (the little boy who didn't fly to school that day) is tremendously sweet and adorable, though you can't really tell from these two pages.

Gypsy is running around in cyberspace trying to wake up her team mate L-Ron, an artificial intelligence current inhabitating the body of despero (that would pink punky looking dragon guy). As I mentioned, I'm easily amused. In JLT #7 some sneaky terrorist carrying a suitcase with an evil designer virus is captured by a race of blue skinned alien amazon women. They contact the UN and demand somebody to come and pick him up. J'onn assembles a female only team of heroes to fetch him. Important questions are answered, such as, what do you get if you put a group of super heroines in a room together with "An Affair to Remember". The Answer? Different Reactions. As you might know already from a previous post here on scans_daily, J'onn morphs into Joan J'onzz to blend in the with the all female group. (note how the guy in the lower right hand corner assures J'onn that he is cute looking) Cue to many silly man/woman jokes: Since I'm easy to please, I also got a kick out of this simplistic joke. Maybe it just pleases me that apparently they have no idea either who all of their teammates are ;) (in case you are wondering, woman in the leotardish dress is Gypsy, the one with the white hair is Dolphin, redhead is Maxima and the black one in the jumpsuit is Vixen) Anyway, after crashing their submarine and a short melee with the locals, the thing that always happens, happens. The alien amazon queen takes a liking in "Joan". The various highlights of this issue are definitively J'onn's facial expressions. Oh, and isn't it interesting what thing the cares most about in this whole issue is? And Batman.... For God's sake don't tell Batman. And of course there is the very love worthy cover. With J'onn in a pose that's usually reserved for hentai tentacle porn. In the wake of "Joan's" upcoming nuptials to the princess, the JLT heroines meditate about their views on the girl on girl love. Nice covering, Diana. Anyway, wedding arrives. Isn't Dolphin adorable? And shame on DC for phasing out the kiss. The queen can't wait to get to the wedding night part. Which leads to a surprising revelation. Which kinda sorta causes J'onn to freak and blow his cover. Melee ensues. And again, I'm easily amused by simplistic bantering. While on the run, a sentence is uttered that goes through my mind not too infrequently. (in case you wonder, the problem is the they have fly over a volcano, but J'onn is afraid of fire) The jilted alien queen runs after them and tries to kill J'onn. He saves her from the volcano and they part halfway peacefully. If you are interested, you can also read J'onn's take on the relationship.~thelana~awakeW i i4F i i ߯k~dc, martian manhunterw j i ~Mystique ~ posted a bit of Mystique/Irene goodness a few days ago, and mentioned Mystique's sexuality in her own series.

(Art by Neal Adams, story by Bob Haney.) It starts out with Bruce and Dick and their usual nighttime antics-- Dick saves Bruce's life and muses dreamily about how Bruce is just the bestest ever. But when they get home, they find a blond teenage boy named Lance. It turns out that Lance has been left to Bruce by his recently departed father (thanks to an agreement between the Waynes and Lance's family. ) Lance turns out to be a total jerk-- stealing money, being snotty to Alfred, blaming Dick for things, etc. Dick goes to the Titans for help, but Lance does not respond well. Later Lance fakes an abduction in order to get some ransom money out of Bruce. Donna is worried about this breaking up Bruce and Dick. Awww, Donna. But it's not Lance's fault! He was raised by the Drakes! Errrr. Or something like that. Bruce, being a big soft touch, responds to Lance's statement that he'll become someone "more like Dick" and formally adopts Lance. Dick defends Bruce-- he's the greatest guy in the WORLD, after all. Of course, that accomplished, he doesn't bother locking the entrance to the Batcave or anything. *sigh* So Lance discovers that Bruce and Dick = Batman and Robin, and decides to sell them out to a bad guy. Bruce and Dick walk right into a trap, and there's yet more OMGTHEIRLOVEISSOPURE action. So Dick's gone over the side, but the other Titans show up to help, and then... Lance has a sudden change of heart. He's discovered how to earn Bruce's *true* love and affection... he's put on a Robin suit. "When I saw Dick sacrifice himself for you...." Oh, just read for yourself. I love this ending. "And thanks for *your* help, Titans." Way to minimize the getting-civilians-killed.

Because the female mind is impossible for Superman to comprehend, he sends Wonder Woman to talk Supergirl down. Yeah... that might have been a bad plan...

More specifically, their feelings of undying devotion and committment to, dependence on and belief in each other. They can also touch each other affectionately.

Anyway, just thought I'd post this to break up the narrative driven posts I've been doing lately. This is all action, baby. Won't explain too much since the first page pretty much gives a good description of what's going on, but I will state that Planetary are a group of archaeologists that investigate the strange and unusual. Nothing really offensive here other than a few naughty words that'd be acceptable on prime-time television. Now, click ahead and enjoy the beauty that is Planetary. ~ spikespeigel i4~!Elliott Smith - Needle in the Hay~punspidey_teamup // mrghotti?pXA i i ~1wildstorm, planetary, warren ellis, john cassaday To i~X-Force something or other~Here are three scans from some issue of X-Force during John Moore's run. Tab and Bobby (Sunspot, not Iceman) are dating, X-Force is on the road and crashing at old teammate Skid's place, Skid's roomies don't know Skid's is a mutant or was once part of New Mutants or.....whatever she was part of, I actually can't remember..... ANYWAY. Bobby gets in trouble.

Blue Beetle didn't trust him and was working his tush off trying to find ways to monitor and track the new guy. Booster Gold was sad. There was no Blue Beetle to goof off with now; he was off being a cheap Batman knock-off. So they decide to pay a visit to Justice League Europe. Well, after that, Wally decides that he should have a little fun of his own.

Bobby is now trying to kill everybody! So Tabitha confronts Reignfire/Bobby. Fight Dirty! Tab fights dirty! :D And then, a moment from Wolverine 97. Larry Hama, the writer of the series back then, brought in some really strange characters every so often. But none were quite so nutso as.....the lady that talked to her hand. um....what?

Now, their former group, the Suicide Squad have been mentioned, and I thought it might be nice to look at some very special moments. On his first day, a mysterious figure known only as The Mad Pie-Thrower pies one of the minor villainesses. That's Father Craemer, the Squad's spiritual counselor, in the first panel. The harlequin girl is Jewelee, of the husband-and-wife homocidal comedy team, Punch and Jewelee. Punch is the guy in the jester hat. Notice the dejected and rejected Dr. Light slumping away in the second panel. The gag we find out later is--Captain Boomerang *is* the Mad Pie-thrower. So of course he knew Light pied himself! A little serious here, all the villains were required to see the house therapist on the Squad. The 'children' the therapist was talking about were the Teen Titans--who also took down Trigon and the HIVE. The 'child' Light is talking about was a metahuman teenager from a group called Force of July who the now child-phobic Light was running away from. The fight was a nasty one and lots of people died on both sides. The ghost of Light's imagination offers tempting scenarios....notice Darkseid, Penguin, Joker, Amanda Waller, etc. ::cough:: My favorite picture. It's nothing new that some supervillains' motives in being what they are is to get attention from objects of their fascination...but it's particularly unnerving to consider Dr. Light this way. So, was this what Zatanna was going for....? ~ badficwriterM i,~,Fairly Odd Parents theme song, over and over iYA i i ~ outdated link $s i~1Cissie is helpless to resist the BART WOOBIENESS.~Some Young Justice scans--Bart and Cissie.

This annual was the last place we saw the two together, and, though the story was a wee bit too convoluted, there were some nice character moments. They have spent the last few months kicking butt together. Woohoo! Also, speaking in their own private special language. And they don't mind sharing. This, however, needs no comment. But of course, they're just *friends*... And friends aren't afraid to let friends scream like girls :-). Though it's nice they care about each other. Awww...

About nine pages, I think....so.....dial-up....just....brace yourself and be ready to hit the refresh button. From X-force 43, Julio takes Shatterstar dancing....and....stuff happens. And Shatterstar WATCHES as Ric dances....that's not creepy at all. No. Hot girl hits on 'Star. He runs away all freaked out like....mm hm. And then they start to talk about Star's package in a rainy alley....that's normal, right? Sure it is. Alas, before they can 'work it out', there's some sort of danger and they have to run off and save the day....again. Yay superheroes!!! This is from X-force 44, in which Rictor leaves the team....and Shatterstar does a back-flip! to say 'hey no! don't go!' *or is it just a really high long jump....it gets cut off....* Anyway, Rictor leaves, Shatterstar sad! Shatty NEEDS him. Awwww. This is from X-force 49. Shatterstar walks by the club that Rictor once took him to. And so, right after turning down another hot girl..... He misses Julio.....sad!!!

One of my favourite characters is Piper from Flash, which will come as no surprise to those who know me. So now, instead of working on my assignment like I'm supposed to, I'm going to do something much more fun and give people a visual history of how one minor character can change over the years. When Piper first turned up, he was really definitely a villian, and a Flash villian at that. This, of course, meant that a) he was old and fugly and b) he had a really bad dress sense. Yep, he looked like this: ...and kept looking like this in all his appearances with Barry Allen as Flash. Except when he was in disguise, of course: Then he just looked bizarre :-). Luckily, Wally West took over the Flash, and Piper was reformed. Yay! Sadly, he still had the polka dots, but he did
