I'm not the world's biggest Superboy fan...

[icon_uk]

But I LOVE Phil Noto...



I wonder why? :)

Oh, this is the cover art for Superboy issue #2

And this is the variant cover by Guillem March



Less stylish, less... interesting from my own POV, but rather more blatant too... on the other hand, that's quite a smile Kon has

The variant is rather more explicit at least in what it implies but this one's a beauty. Been a while since Kon last saw Ivy.

I wonder if anyone in DC cares about whats going on in Gotham city Sirens.
Probably not but still the covers nice

[liara_shadowsong]

This is a lovely cover... Though I do wish DC would make up its mind already as to whether Kon's eyes are blue like Clark's, green like Lex's, or somehow randomly gray or brown. (Go with green, DC! He looks enough like Clark already, no need to make him completely identical to Clark at his age.) Nevertheless, wow, bondage with someone who isn't a Robin... Although he did dress up in a Robin suit in one issue, at Tim's bequest...

I am willing to doubt that the first encounter that the kid had, the one where he teamed up with his bro, Robin, and they become best of friends....

Silly Pamela, gagging someone like that is only good for looks, not practicality!

...or so I've heard. ...from other people. ...who aren't here right now.

LOOK! A DISTRACTION! *vanish*

I really like that second cover. I like Phil Noto a lot, but that second cover is crazier. That face. Nightmares!

[turtlefu]

If only the interior art was half as interesting as this. A bad interior turns me off from books more than bad writing, and I can't stand Superboy's artist.

that second cover

Why is Pam radioactive?

The first cover is so pretty. The lineart is so thin and soft. The coloring is very good, too. The hints of pink/red on her nose and cheeks, the shadows under his eyes, the color of her skin that is a mix between normal and green. <3

The variant is so blunt.

But I think I like what it implies. Leave it to Kon to fall for Ivy's charms. =)

[wonderwomanhero]

Oh god! Thank you icon_u.k. FINALLY I see a gagged man. They need more in comics. Speaking of which, the one with the cover where Ivy was standing in-between a vine bound and gagged Trickster and Piper...are there scans from that comic?

[ghosty732]

I always get really creeped out when artists draw buff men without shirts... without nipples! It's weird.

[bluefall]

HOLY SHIT

did March just draw a woman that's actually something approaching genuinely sexy

my god

up is down, left is right, cats and dogs are living together

[psychopathicus_rex]

I love Kon's face in that second scan. He's like 'Duh-huh! It wuz woith it!'

[selke]

I would so buy a print of the first one.

And I love that we have a bondage tag. :D

[lucky_gamble]

I guess what Ivy wants, Ivy gets. Superpowered young beefcakes included

Just in case anyone wanted to know the first time Ivy and Kon met, it was in the "World's Finest Three" mini. Also the first time Kon and Tim met. Part one here and part two here.

Please tell me that I'm not crazy for getting Frank Quitely vibes from Noto's art. They just... feel so similar!
