Three Preview Pages from Redhood and the Outlaws #4

You know... this is fast becoming one of my favorite books. the issues number one had aside (and actually one of the moments in issue 1 does actually seem to have reprocussions in this issue, still don't like that scene however). I have actually really been enjoying this book. this issue seems to focus on Starfire.

Rocafort's art is getting better too. at least where starfire is concerned she looks fierce!... still don't know how the hell that stays on though...

The Batman's Last Christmas

So Helena Wayne asks: "What do you give the man who has almost everything?" A very legit question considering Bruce Wayne is very much the 'Prince of Gotham.' An abundance of wealth, a mansion, an expensive penthouse, fancy cars, cool gadgets, lots of dates with sexy women both inside and outside of the Justice League, etc. All in all, the guy has it all very much handed to him on a silver platter. Should the man ever decide to marry (which he did in another lifetime), he'd fall nothing short of having a Royal Wedding of his very own.

But Helena does make one thing of note: he is a man who has almost everything. So now the question becomes "what doesn't he have?" Well family for one, and a reminder that there is still love in the world for two. Possibly *three* if she wasn't already related to him in some weird way, though I'm sure plenty have thought it (the pervs)…

Anyway, in stark contrast with the previous story I posted where Batman spends his holidays playing cat and mouse with a known foe (although there is a little of that too), this story focuses on the most important message of Christmas of all: love and family. Two things Helena Wayne is good at demonstrating to a man who has *almost* everything! ;)

Lo and behold! My favourite Bat Christmas story ever told in all of its Slashy Glory! :D )

On a completely unrelated note, The Dark Knight Rises official trailer is finally up and legal! :D

Jenny Sparks: If Reagan is president...

Jenny Sparks was the "Spirit of the 20th Century," had electricity-based superpowers, and lived quite an exciting life in the Wildstorm Universe.

Some time ago, I commented that Jenny Sparks once considered letting the world end if Ronald Reagan got the Republican nomination for president. And here's that moment from JENNY SPARKS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE AUTHORITY. It's written by Mark Millar in 2000.

Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo

This weekend, I have been enjoying Sanctuary. It's a book about an island with animals who are looked after by scientists, with an unclear purpose. There's a decent variety of characters from the animals, with a lion/tiger family feud, an annoying panda, a giraffe-based love triangle and some gorillas.

However, my moment from #1 involved the human cast )
