So in the last issue of Birds of Prey, Batgirl joined the group, they located their cleaner boys, and before they knew it, they found themselves on the streets with Batgirl missing from the group.

...or was she really there to begin with? Surely Poison Ivy would remember a foe she's fought! And speaking of Ivy...what other deck of cards is she playing?

Huntress and The Question BoP teamup; Womanthology

Sat, 06 Aug 2011 20:41:57 GMT

Posted by: ejne7

A little bit of a plug, if that's all right: I'm the project admin for Womanthology, a comics anthology coming out from IDW this December and featuring work by over 140 women. I know I'm not the only SD-er involved: our creators include both established pros (Gail Simone, Ming Doyle, Colleen Doran, and Fiona Staples, among others) and unpublished newcomers--and some exciting teams that mix the two! We've been raising funds on Kickstarter for the last month, and the campaign ends tomorrow. As of now, we're within sight of the (astonishing, to us!) $100,000 mark: if we can hit that target we can get free copies to libraries and schools, and make more books like this in future to give new and unpublished creators a chance to get their work seen.

For legality, and because they're awesome, some pages from Birds of Prey #12 (4 and a bit pages) and #13 (just under 1 page), by Gail Simone, one of our contributing writers. Art is by Jesus Saiz and Diego Olmos. These pages feature a Huntress/Question team-up that makes my heart happy :)

Two-Face Tuesday! T-F:Year One: The Hefner's Cut!

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 04:27:32 GMT

Posted by: thehefner

Two-Face: Year One was a mess.

I don't know any other way to describe the most recent retelling of Harvey's origin, released to coincide with the release of The Dark Knight. The odds were against it from the start, as the main problem with retelling origins is that you've got to interest people in reading a story they already know, or at least think they know.

They may have read it multiple times in flashbacks and expositions, or maybe they just have one specific version they adhere to as the definitive version. For me, the definitive Harvey story is Eye of the Beholder, by Andrew Helfer and Chris Sprouce. For most others, it's The Long Halloween, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Either way, TF:YO was met with opposition and apathy before it was even released, and in the years since, it's shown no signs of being embraced by fans nor creators nor canon any more than Michael Green's recent Joker origin Lovers and Madmen (BUNNY!) managed to escape the shadow of Alan Moore's Killing Joke.

This isn't to say there shouldn't be new attempts at retelling origins. When it comes to Harvey, if they held steadfast to the classic Golden Age origin (or even the tweaked Bronze Age origin), we never would have gotten Eye of the Beholder in the first place. The question is always "What's this new take going to bring to the old story?"

To its credit, TF:YO had a couple novel and intriguing aspects to bring to the table. Unfortunately, for a slew of reasons, the final story was problematic to say the least. Maybe that's why it was seemingly ignored upon release, getting virtually no coverage from comic sites/blogs (I don't recall seeing a single review), or maybe the truth is more depressing than that: maybe people just didn't care.

But while I certainly cared, I also found myself alternately annoyed and bored, particularly by the poor pacing and awkward misuse of flashbacks. It read like a movie hacked apart and frankensteined together by a bad editor.

So in the interest of a cohesive story, I've decided to try something a bit different with this Two-Face Tuesday, and present the story edited into chronological order. Thus today, I offer you Two-Face, Year One: The Hefner's Cut!

Brave & Bold #34 - 31st Century Fanservice!

Posted by: perletwo

2 1/2 pages from Brave & Bold #34, which teams up the Legion of Super-Heroes circa the old Adventure Comics days with the original Doom Patrol, for part 1 of a 2-part story. I just wanna know how much icon_uk had to pay the creative team here to get such a fanservice-y opening to our tale...

( It's a fashion thing. )

The man deserves a proper send-off, after all

By now, you've prolly heard that Greg Rucka's leaving DC for the foreseeable future to work on other projects. ComicsAlliance has a really good interview on the subject.
And saddened as I am by the news, he's left us a considerable body of work to appreciate. So instead of dreading the prospect of a future without him, let us celebrate the good we have from the past.

( Mostly, Greg, I just wanna say Thank You. )

"A suggestion for Manhunter and Blue Beetle"

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:14:47 GMT

Posted by: xdoop.insanejournal.com

I just sent Didio a message asking "Why don't you do something like Countdown to Mystery, which published two normal-length stories together, with Manhunter and Blue Beetle? This would allow the writers to write 22-page stories, as opposed to 8-page ones. While both series struggled with low sales, if the audiences of both books bought the same title the sales would probably be higher."

If such a series were to be published, do you think it would work?

And, for legality...
