Jen takes charge

Inspired by gargoylekitty's recent post, a page and a half from issue #14 of the first volume of HEROES FOR HIRE.

For the most part I'm not a fan of Ostrander's Shulkie on this title, but this scene always has me giggling like a loon. The best part is it actually even works - there's virtually no narration past this issue beyond simple setting placards. Jennifer Walters: not to be messed with, regardless of which side of the fourth wall you hail from.

ew, Luke Cage, look back in shame.

Oh, but he has the prettiest tiara!

I LIKED the tiara! It's distinctive - nobody else in comics has (or should I say, HAD) one like it - you saw him wearing that thing, you were like 'yeah, that's Luke Cage'. Nowadays, he just dresses like a regular guy, which annoys me.

Elsewhere in the series, he gives Brother Voodoo shit about the way he dresses being an embarrassment, and Drumm is like, "This from a guy with a fender on his head?"

Was Luke wearing the open-front yellow shirt? (Need to upload my Thor!Luke icon, where ever I put it.)

Apparently this is his transitional look, normal clothes, still rocking the tiara.

Some dialogue that just came up while playing "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows":

Spider-Man: Why does everybody talk crap about my costume? It's classis! It's iconic!
Luke Cage: I was unaware one of the definitions of iconic was "ugly as hell."
Spider-Man: This coming from the man that used to run around in a yellow puffy shirt, with a little silver tiara in his afro.
Luke Cage: Man dressed like you are right now don't get to talk about how I USED to dress.
Spider-Man: Still. You wore a tiara.
Luke Cage: It was a head band. A head... band.

It was a silk shirt, not a puffy shirt. That makes it all right. Doesn't it?
