Speed of a jaguar?!

Should have gone with traction of a gecko.

[zordboy.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, that jumped out at me too. Maybe that's why she slipped?

Either that, or we have an author not doing the research. I'd throw in a quick link to the relevant TVTropes article, but nobody needs that.

...And Vixen's not going to be in the Justice League next issue...fucking WHY?

[abagnale008.insanejournal.com]

She's going to be in the next issue.

If you you mean why isn't she going to be in the next JLA line-up? It's probably because her leg was broken in four places by Prometheus.

James Robinson had this to say about Vixen: "With regards to Vixen, you’ll see that she has a definite plan and goal in #41. It’s revealed that she leaves for a specific purpose. And that purpose will fold back into the Justice League and into the DC Universe in the future."

....what?

Prometheus sucks. Putting him over a fine JLA lineup as an excuse to tear it down is terrible.

nooooo, plas.....

There were comments a few days ago about what comics inspired by shonen manga would be like. We have a shining example in Vixen's dialogue and I, for one, am loving it.

The panel with Dr Light and Plastic Man talking is pretty cute as well.

Also: Supes, it's no fair blaming Dinah for Kreisberg's writing.

Well.

That's an . . . unfortunate shadow on the 3rd panel of the 3rd scan.

Damnit, now I sort of want to ship them...

Poor Vixen, so much was done with her, but this is pretty much the fate of any JLA leader who isn't part of the holy Trinity (Donna Mon-el, and Dick all count).

There are days when I wonder if DC cares about any of its characters who don't have a bat, and S, or a W on there chest.

[thebigapricot.insanejournal.com]

Well they definitely care about Green Lantern. The books are selling and they have a movie coming out next year. I could make the argument that they care more about GL than Wonder Woman, if you eliminate the merchandising/licensing dollars WW delivers.

I should have KNOWN Vixen was awesome, it was only that when I first read her she was suffering from Meltzeritis!

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH, VIXEN!

Though I am sad Black Canary had to be torn down for us to get awesome Mari. It's a bit telling that we can't have two strong, kickass females on the JLA at once...

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

You know the rules, a hero can't be made awesome unless it's at the expense of another. Apparently, over at DC, there's a finite supply of "nifty" and they have to reallocate its use when they want to pump up a character.

[majingojira.insanejournal.com]

If I ran the JLA, It'd probably be at least 60% Kickass Females.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

supposedly the writer was going to tear her down to build her back up.

It's a stupid idea that's done to often and shows absolutely no foresight. Far to many writers have been fired mid tear down.

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Is that a Star Sapphire ring?

[jaybee3.insanejournal.com]

One of the few things DC Editorial has done is to push Vixen into a high-profile position. She's just a cool character.
