And finally for Dudes in Distress Week... honest! Then I'll be quiet!

As noted earlier, this is a repost of a post originally made in 2009 in our IJ days, but I thought that in honours of Dude in Distress week a fresh posting might be made as an exception.

So what did I pick? Go on... guess!

( What else could it be, but New Teen Titans #22 )

As promised, this is the second mega-posting to celebrate the end of "Dude(s) in Distress Week", dealing with published images... (This is sort of a "Greatest Hits", as much of it has been posted before)

The history of the "Dude in Distress" in graphical literature is a long and noble one... there are probably medieval woodcuts showing that sort of thing, but as that slightly predates most of the usual area of scans_daily, we'll skip to something vaguely more recent... well, relatively speaking.

LOTS of scans under the cut, but I've used smallish thumbnails so as not to kill your broadband completely! Just stun it slightly...

( Over a century of Dudes in Distress )

As 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.

( Like comics... but not! )

Young Justice is coming back to TV screens in less than a month! The airdate for the new episode is March 3, 2012.

The episode title and synopsis have been released by World's Finest Online (at the link above) and ( that information's reproduced here too ).

For legality here's ( the cover image and solicit for the cartoon's companion comic, the latest issue of which comes out on Feb. 15 )

Also, it looks like The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is getting a new comic series. Still no word on an airdate for Season Two, although since those comics are set for an April release and the movie comes out in May I'm guessing it'll probably be around then.

( Again from World's Finest Online, we have solicits for the series ).

Sadly, not every example of a dude in distress is a great one... and even the Dynamic Duo have their... less memorable experiences.

( And this was from an anniversary issue too )

It was the 60s. It was a ... stranger time... and experimentation was going on in this crazy medium we love. io9.com has some of the trading card art from yesteryear.

Two of my personal choices behind the cut that meet this week's theme.

( Na na na-na na na nah, BATMAN! )

icon_uk

From Batman 43, where Batman faces the Penguin...

( The Blackbird of Banditry )

icon_uk

Three pages from New Mutants #36

Fight scenes SHOULD be more fun with superpowers...

( Or at least more creative )
And now...

( To start the weekend, Dick/Kurt and Doug/'Lock commissions from Sara Richard )

icon_uk

From Bleeding Cool (And may contain spoilers... if an unconfirmed rumour of a possible new title can be considered a spoiler)

( Less Birds of Prey, more... Birds of a Feather )

For legality

( That's one well hidden zip seam )

And for a juvenile smirk

( If you're going to HAVE a peeling back logo, EXPLOIT IT!! )

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

( Se in uomo fragile, nuove risposte tardano ad affiorare... )

icon_uk

...these guys though, quite possibly do.

For

whitesycamore ,

( From Batman Odyssey 3 )

At the other end of the scale is the latest Tiny Titans....

( It's casual dress day )

Now, you know me, I like a nice Robin in peril shot ("No?" "Really?" "YOU Icon_UK? I hear the surprised gasps from around the interwebs of s_d) so this cover appealed to me, so I idly picked a copy up... After all, last issue saw Robin being licked by trolls, who knows where this one could lead...

( Even I never saw THIS one coming - Spoilers beneath )

cyberghostface

Yes. This is real.

( Image under the cut... )

The first part of what should be an ongoing fanfilm, featuring some rather nice takes on the Bat-Family.

( Read more... )

Oh and a quick something else...

( And the first glimpse of the Star Sapphires from the GL:TAS )

Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen! Chocochuy reporting for duty.

The Bat-Family has always been one messed up yet interesting heroic family on comic books. Just like Hirohiko Araki's Jojo no Kimiyo na Bouken, the Bat-Family has always offered us thousands of generational stories where justice is delivered on multiple levels as Batman and Robin change identities constantly. There's not a doubt that Batman and his family offer us an endless galaxy of stories, sometimes under comedy like the works of Black Cat and sometimes as drama. Well, today I conducted a brief exploration of art related to Batman on Pixiv and found me some neat pictures of the Bat-Family. I am honored at sharing them with you, comrades. Enjoy!

By way of Project Rooftop;

A few years ago current Wonder Woman artist Cliff Chiang put forward a notion for a story featuring Japanese characters who would be inspired by the JLA but filtered through their own culture of anime, toku and kaiju...

( I want to hear their theme song NOW!!! )
