Fizzball! And A Gift From Dragon*Con!

[pyynk]

Sam is a 6 ft tall dog with a fondness for blue suits, fedoras, and fudgesicles. Max is a semi rabid lagomorph. Together, they solve crimes in as over the top fashion as they can manage. This time though, they're not stopping crime, but playing a little game called fizzball!

And a new wrinkle unfolds.

*Main Post* 30 Days of Scans Day 24: Least Favorite Costume

[shelleymaree]

Okay, I actually didn't have a lot of time to think about this (just got back from Dragon*Con, forgot all about internet responsibilities, etc.), so I'm sure there's something out there I hate MORE... but I'm going to go with my gut and say Starfire.

Origins of Tigra

[hymn]

So I've been trying to post scans of the early days of some Marvel ladies. I've kinda fallen behind on that, but someone requested Tigra a while ago, and her story is really interesting. I have a feeling that today many readers see Tigra as furrry fetish fuel, given her stint on the West Coast Avengers where animal lust made her work her way through the team, and the fact that this is the internet. But Tigra's origins can be traced back to 1972, arguably the first Year of Women at Marvel.

And I mean, just look at her culturally relevant zingers!

Request: the best (or worst) of Batdickery

[starwolf_oakley]

During the 30 Days of Scans, many of us have said Batman's biggest flaw/drawback/etc. is when he's a jerk to other superheroes. Sometimes Batman is a jerk for a reason, sometimes just to be a jerk, sometimes because he's Batman.

So, how about some examples of Batman being a jerk to other superheroes? And if Batman is being a jerk just because he's Batman?

( Two examples after the cut. )

Ms. Frost if you're nasty

[seriousfic]

Pictures of January Jones playing Emma Frost have surfaced, and luminum was good enough to point out just how faithful Emma's fashion choices are to the comics (which doubles for legality).


Go and get it, giiirl.

Heroes to Order

[stubbleupdate]

It's hopefully well know that I'm pretty much the number one cheerleader for Matt Fraction and Barry Kitson's series The Order, a ten issue book that looked at California's 41 team of everyday heroes given superpowers. After the series ended, The Order made a few dotted appearances in the Marvel Universe, with a fleeting showing in the Initiaitve's Secret Invasion and leader Henry Hellrung joining in with Iron Man: Most Wanted. There's also this little look at them in San Francisco based Eternals

This issue features Maggie Veda Neuntauben (action star and mass adopter of orphans, with the superpower of creating golems), Sgt. Michael Supernaut Fields (paralysed veteran with a big fuck off robot exo-skeleton) and James Calamity Wa (ex-baseball player, now engineering graduate who built his own legs after a car crash and now has the superpower of superspeed).

Plus there's some Eternals or something. I don't know.

And you're right, the lighting on the preview panel IS amazing.

It's a shame that Fraction's star has risen to high that we'll likely never get to see any more of The Order, since he's playing with Thor, The X-Men and Iron Man now.

Day 24: Most Hated Costume.

[goggle_kid]

What costume encapsulates how comic fans feel about the 90s? Well for me it's something that can only be solved with a 3-way dance! Tonight in this very ring three awfully dressed super-heroes will face off in a no-holds barred triple threat match to the death!
