JLA/Avengers

ar_feinielIn my experience, most crossovers don't live up to their ambitions. JLA/Avengers is an exception. Also, it's got a sense of humor.
Here are some snippets of the JLA in Marvel's 616 and the Avengers on Earth One. I loved seeing how the two teams react to each other's worlds.
( They do honor their heroes well here... )

The Return of Firestorm!
Feb. 4th, 2012 10:47 pmskjamFirestorm's first comic book series kind of turned into a limited series when one of the periodic industry downturns hit DC and they had to axe a bunch of titles. But the concept and design of the character were pretty cool, so it was decided to give the character another shot.
To start "pushing" the character, the folks at DC decided to have him guest star with Superman in "DC Comics Presents", the "Superman teams up with people" book.
Five and two-thirds pages from DC Comics Presents #17 "The Ice Slaves of Killer Frost!"
( I need fire, to melt the frozen heart within me )

( Tonight the part of Hank Henshaw will be played by... Elijah Wood! )
And on an unrelated note, an old animated favourite returns! Remember this series from the 1980's?

Saturdays of Style!
Feb. 3rd, 2012 11:37 pmatom_punkHello scans_daily! Recently joined and I'm making this tentative first post about various fanmade character redesigns I've encountered.
I'm interested in hearing the community's feedback on these alternative designs. Apologies if there are repeats from other fanart postings.

icon_ukWell, as my introductory post for DiD Week (Which I don't think we have room left for a tag for I'm afraid), I thought I'd NOT start with the obvious choice, but an example that highlights just about everything I'm looking for in such a scene.
So rather than Batman's chum, I'm opting for Superman's Pal, and from 1995 we find Superman investigating....

Superman Arrested--Film at Eleven
Jan. 15th, 2012 07:19 pmskjamLet's switch gears for a moment and return to the Bronze Age of comics, specifically Action Comics #556. We'll be looking at 7 2/3rd pages of the 23-page story, "Endings."
Not really a very good cover, but it does come pretty close to the events inside.
A bit of background: Vandal Savage was originally from Earth-Two, where he fought the Golden Age Green Lantern, and later the Justice Society of America. Thanks to the JLA/JSA teamups of yore, Mr. Savage learned of the existence of Earth-One and how to get there. He also learned that he apparently had no counterpart on that parallel world, which gave him an idea.
Vandal Savage comes to Earth-One where he has no criminal record. He somehow gets enough resources to build Abraxas Industries, and become a legitimate businessman. Since he has no criminal record, people are willing to give Mr. Savage the benefit of the doubt, despite Superman's warnings about his past behavior on Earth-Two. But just being free from the threat of prosecution isn't good enough for Vandal Savage, and he begins a plot to discredit and perhaps destroy the Man of Steel.
( We join that plan already in progress. )

A Family of Darkness is still a Family
Jan. 9th, 2012 12:26 pmchocochuyGreetings, 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!

Superman: Earth One, Take Two!
Jan. 8th, 2012 01:35 pmaekaJust shortly after DC's announcement of Batman: Earth One a few days ago, DC also released new details on the much anticipated sequel to Superman Earth One, including how they're planning to reinvent one of Supe's main baddies.

icon_ukBy 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!!! )
