scans_dailyRandom stuff time! And this time, none of it is mine!
Okay, first, because I'm still on a baby kick...
And something that really captures the voice of Billy Batson while also incapsulating my feelings on why new Captain Marvel is terrible.
I would like to see more of this actually.
Just like, three pages of Scott berating that gun would be amazing.
Oh Scott.
I really love this couple. And I'm glad that Jan is back and all, but fingers crossed on them staying together. Please? For the baby?
(I'm also referring to cooking as "kitchen science" from now on.)
After that sweet scene, another cute couple. Until you realize that Kitty is very recently fifteen so, ew.
I actually sorta like X-men: Year One's take on Jean.
You remember how I said I wasn't including any of my stuff? Well, I lied.
Rule 63 Birds of Prey. Gentlefolk, meet the one and only Bros of Prey. I might do a follow up piece starring Hunter in Huntress's other costume and also Power Boy. Maybe.
And last, but not least, the one marriage of Robin that didn't end with a priest exploding.
I'm kidding, there's got to be at least two weddings of Robin that didn't end with the priest exploding.
Plus, gloves aside, I sorta like the Robin suit. Which I think means I'm legally disqualified from buying clothing now, but whatever.
Until next time!

Regarding Captain Marvel, well, there are always the old stories to enjoy. Le sigh.

'...couldn't you just become a wedding organiser?'
'No. They frown on the killing people and I have to share the cake.'

I love that Captain Marvel (Shazam will never be a good name for an actual superhero) minicomic and it would be just great if DC got the character as well as this artist does.
Classic Cyclops is pretty great.
Cyclops vs the optometrist is hilarious.
I feel like Hank is about five minutes away from designing a stir fry(?) that not only cooks itself, but also opens a portal to an alternate universe.
That page is pretty cute until you realize how old Kitty is. I feel like a lot of Claremont's X-Men is made uncomfortable for me by how Claremont seems to be incorporating his own personal "tastes". Like the constant mindcontrol plots.
I've never really gotten a good handle on Jean Grey, she never really appears much in the stuff I read, but this is good. Seems a bit on the generic side with her being the classic snarky independent girl, which I guess is better than her being a damsel in distress, and certainly more fun to read. I enjoy Cyclops here, that might just be because I just generally like Cyclops, but also because I enjoy seeing him as an uncomfortable and uptight dude, as opposed to the asshole authority figure who exists to make Wolverine look like a cool rebel.
I'd read any book called the Bros of Prey, pretty much regardless of actual content.
And that Robin suit is great, I don't care what anyone else says.

Date: 2012-10-25 07:12 pm (UTC)It's also creepy when you read about how the person with Kitty was an evil alternate universe version of herself pretending to be this universe's version.

Date: 2012-10-25 08:45 pm (UTC)I guess Claremont deserves props for not having Kitty actually make out with her other Excaliburverse older crush, Alistaire Stuart--although that's probably because it didn't have enough Ho Yay points for him. But she still ended up naked in front of Alistaire. And ended up naked a lot in general. I didn't find this creepy at the time, but then, I was 11.
*Edit* actually, has Kitty ever dated someone her own age?

Date: 2012-10-25 10:30 pm (UTC)That was Sat-R-9's deal? She was an alternate Kitty Pryde, not an alternate Courtney Ross? Wild.

Date: 2012-10-25 10:55 pm (UTC)Say-Yr-9 was the absolute dictator of her alternate, until deposed by the Technet working for... I can't recall. She was jailed, and escaped thanks to the accidental intervention of Widget creating a dimensional warp to her cell. She arrived on our Earth and promptly murdered Courtney and then used the resources of the Bank she was president of to secretly set herself up as a crime lord.

Date: 2012-10-25 11:27 pm (UTC)I love how he goes from cussing to killing people, no ten year old I've met is that naive... and the new Billy Batson is doing NONE of those things described, he's acting like a bratty child, yes, but not killing, barely cussing, the way most children in his situation could be. It's a larger slap in the face to have him ALWAYS looking on the bright side and being nice without attempting to show how he got to that disposition.
A ten year old would have a lot of trouble just doing the 'right' thing (with his fists? :|), with all that power. That's where the Wisdom of Solomon comes into play... they might as well admit that Captain Marvel's unhealthy sunny disposition basically comes from that aspect of his abilities.
I agree with your comments on Scott, that's good fun.

Date: 2012-10-26 02:22 am (UTC)That being said: I'm loving all the exposure Cyclops has been getting on S_D. Even thought I hated it, AvX at least made my favorite character relevant again. Hopefully he'll make it in to some movies and video games now.

Date: 2012-10-28 06:26 am (UTC)But yeah, I'm not saying that Cyclops hasn't been in movies or video games. I'm just saying that he's taken a very apparent back seat in the past few years. And those X-Men movies didn't do him any favors. He was poorly developed and given less and less screen time as the movies progressed.

Maybe they should have been named Kitty and Cougar.
