Fanart Thursday, atom_punk edition
Aug. 16th, 2012 12:59 amatom_punkHello scans_daily,
I was fortunate enough to stumble on some truly wonderful art and I simply had to share them with the community. Perhaps you've seen them already, perhaps not, but I reserve the right to fanboy-squee regardless.
( Click for art-y awesomeness! )

icon_ukOkay, by his very existence, Alfred Pennyworth generates a pretty much permanent cloud of Awesome, but I do like this sequence from the Tomasi run of Nightwing...

Alfred in "The Hospitable Hostage!"
Jun. 13th, 2012 10:50 amjkcarrierAfter that unfortunate business in Legends of the Dark Knight, I thought we needed some scans of Alfred being awesome.
From Detective Comics #486, 1979 (Select panels from a 7-page story)

One of my favourite Batman stories - Batman #321 "Dreadful Birthday Dear Joker"
May. 20th, 2012 08:20 pmicon_ukAnother "Accentuate the Positive" post, one which I have posted bits of before, and had posted on s_d 1.0, but which I've checked and I haven't posted on here, which surprises me, but any excuse, as we venture into a story where we discover that it must have been one HELL of a party last night for Robin..
( Walt Simonson on art... you need MORE of a reason? )

icon_ukYes, believe it or not I do have something to add to "Cute Romance Week"... and not a rope, shackle, or piece of duct tape in sight... honest! :)
These two instances both refer to Jason 1.0, the circus performer, not the street-punk revamp.
This first one is from 1983's "New Teen Titans #33"
( Jay meets someone for the first time )
And from Detective Comics 561 in 1986 comes a 15-page story from Doug Moench and Gene Colan which has been messy to cut down because it covers two interesting plot strands in one story and I'd love to showcase both; Bruce and Jason discuss drug use, and Jason gets a girlfriend. I veer more towards the latter than the former given the theme, but I thought it worth mentioning the other too...
( And then there was Rena... )
( Oh, and some last minute theme approriate Valentine cards perhaps? )

Dudes in Distress Week - Oh come on, you MUST have known I'd be doing something like this (Pt1)
Feb. 5th, 2012 12:45 pmicon_ukAs the sun sets (or rises depending on time difference) on scans_daily's "Dude in Distress Week" (and thank you to the mods for it and to everyone who contributed such great issues), I thought I'd make a couple of posts featuring my favourites... First post will be some commissions, the second post will be some classic moments from the past, and the third will be my nomination for perfect "Dude in Distress" issue. And yes, I should probably apologise in advance for the sheer Robin-centricity of them, but frankly you should know me better by now! :D If cute guys in pixie boots aren't you're thing, please feel free to skip them all.

zapbiffpowFirst shot at a post, sorry if there's any problem!
We've seen it from Dick Grayson in Batman and Robin's first run: if these pages from Detective Comics #815 are any indication, stepping into the boots of Batman entails losing a certain skill. Can you guess what it is?
( Punctuality? Conversationalism? The ability to look silly in a pointy cape? )

aekaIf a song is to be written about this issue of Batman, I would call it 'Batman's Going Slightly Mad.'

Batman: Earth One
Jan. 5th, 2012 06:54 pmaekaDC released pages from the upcoming Batman: Earth One graphic novel which comes out this year, and aside from Alfred looking like a Ra's Al Ghul type guy, this actually looks pretty good. I may actually have to get this one! It's also good to know that DC is planning on using their multiverse for out of continuity stories (which at the moment, look like they might be better stories than most of the current New 52 line).
On that note, I tried reading Superman: Earth One (which has a sequel coming out this year as well I believe) a while back, but I just couldn't buy into the idea of Clark Kent being a dark and broody character. Sorry DC but the whole 'being Bruce Wayne' thing only works best on Bruce Wayne. In my opinion, Clark Kent is a better character when he is the polar opposite of Bruce in that--despite being an alien--he's actually much more in touch with humanity, is more optimistic, and identifies 'Clark Kent' as his real self rather than Superman. We'll see what they do with the sequel, then maybe I'll give it another shot.
( Anyways, enough babble on my end, on with the preview pages! )
