NIGHTWING #102: That Kryptonian Legend
Sep. 26th, 2012 04:52 pm![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
starwolf_oakleyI have occasionally mentioned how in the Post-Crisis DC Universe, Dick Grayson got the idea of the Nightwing name from Superman. Superman told him about a Kryponian legend. I was wondering if that would be used in NIGHTWING #0, but it wasn't. (There wasn't anything on Dick going from Robin to Nightwing.)
So, here are the pages from NIGHTWING #102 where Dick visits Metropolis after Batman fires him as Robin.
( Batman 1966 reference as well.> <a href= )

Dudes in Distress Week - Oh come on, you MUST have known I'd be doing something like this (Pt2)
Feb. 5th, 2012 04:10 pmicon_ukAs 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 )

KNIGHTFALL: Huntress is genre savvy
Dec. 17th, 2011 12:57 pmstarwolf_oakleyFrom Detective Comics #662. Some of the Riddler's goons are robbing the post office without the Riddler:
Plus there was that episode of The Simpsons.
"Hello. My name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me."
"Okay, Mr. Burns. What's your first name?"
"...I don't know!"
Also, a character in the issue is named Dr. Simpson Flanders.
( Not the only roof rat in town. )

kirke_novakSome people have lives. I have comic books. I posted this earlier to my LJ, because I'm desperately trying to avoid writing some stuff for work and yes, the deadline is tomorrow. Now I'm sharing this with you, because I love you as much as Midnighter loves murder.
Some panels are NSFW!
( Behold! Nearly 40 panels filled with Midpollo (Apighter???) love!!!!! (and some panels just with Midnighter because LADYBONER, guys!) )

icon_ukFrom fairly early in the Knightfall run, we have Tim vs a couple of the heavier hitters in Gotham for the first time.
I'm not normally a fan of Sam Kieth's style, but I love Tim's "I SO hate my life right now" expression.
7 and a bit pages from 22.
( Boy Hostage? Like hell!! )
( And a teaser for the original Boy Wonder )

Arrow Kids Day Begins!
Sep. 7th, 2011 02:25 pmdaggerpenAs I announced in an earlier post, some of us have designated today Arrow Kids Day, a day meant to send DC a clear message that we want the Arrow family whole in the reboot. We picked today because it is the day JT Krul's first issue of Green Arrow is released, thereby launching the reboot of the Arrow family. As many of you also know, the current plans for this series are unlikely to include either Mia Dearden or Connor Hawke, the latter because he apparently ages Ollie up too much and the former because she tends to be more obscure. In addition, Lian Harper, Roy's daughter, has been confirmed not to exist, ostensibly because she also ages him up, nevermind that he had her when he was still Speedy.
But that's not going to happen if we have anything to say about it. Today, therefore, is a day not only to discuss and show your love for your favorites of the Arrow family, but also to let DC know that you love these characters, and you want them back. Send in a letter, post to their message board, tweet @jtrkul, @DCComics, @dc_nation and the like- hashtag #arrowkidsday preferred, if you can- anything else you can think of. The whole point of this day is to show how much we love these characters. So let's show how much we love these characters!

EDITED TO ADD: Arrow Day Finale: An Open Letter to DC
(no subject)
Aug. 27th, 2011 02:35 pmdaggerpenSo, the reboot is looking pretty bad for the Arrow kids. There's no indication we'll have Mia anytime soon, Connor apparently "ages Ollie up" too much- nevermind that Bruce totally had time for four Robins and a ten-year-old kid and that Connor was born well before Ollie became Green Arrow- and, of course, Lian, who should also have been born before her father's current identity change, also apparently ages Roy up too much. Suffice to say, current plans don't hold much hope for these three.
Of course, plans can be changed.
( TL;DR? Let's all spam DC. )

ebailey140As we've seen with the debates with this post...
http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/29727
...there's a bit of controversy regarding the direction of the Bat books. Some object to Bruce not being a loner. What's with these groups and others wearing the Bat symbol? What's with people looking to Batman as an inspiration when he's just supposed to scare the crap out of everybody, good and evil aike? Bruce publicly funding superheroes? What's with that candle swearing ceremony thing?
They all date back decades, in some cases almost as long as Batman has existed.
