In the third volume of the Borgia series, once again I choose an arresting sequence that demonstrates the finest qualities of Milo Manara's art, his talent for painstaking details and gorgeous designs.

Chameleon Girl Primer part 1: Is it you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?
Apr. 22nd, 2012 06:52 amHello s_d! As promised back in my last Legion Lost post, here is a Chameleon Girl retrospective. Because this is gonna be too huge, I'm breaking it into two parts: pre- and post-Conspiracy. Second part will go up tomorrow if my computer cooperates. Images from Legion of Super-Heroes 288-305 in this part.
In this part we ask the eternal question, When is a Shrinking Violet not a Shrinking Violet? Is it when she suddenly starts entertaining advances from the guy who's had a crush on her forever? Or is it when she gets called out on same by her boyfriend of record?

Or is the answer...something far more sinister? dun dun DUNNNNN
( pace Vic Sage, 'Obvious, in hindsight' )
So ends part 1 of our tale. I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say this plot was the most interesting thing to happen to Shrinking Violet and/or Colossal Boy in years. Plus, it falls during my personal pick for Keith Giffen/Larry Mahlstedt art at the top of its game.
Next up, pretty much all of Yera's post-conspiracy appearances.

Remember back when it was originally announced that a Buffy reboot was green-lit without any involvement from franchise creator, Joss Whedon? Then do you remember the part about hell breaking loose, not just from fans but even Buffy cast themselves?
Well peeps, I think our wishes have all been answered.
( Happy Holiday Cheer!!! )
( For legality, how about some Buffy/Satsu? NSFW. )

Sex in the 90s
Nov. 29th, 2011 02:23 amAs everyone here knows, DC has gotten a shit tonne of criticism for their portrayal of sex in their New 52 line. Not without reason of course since the sex that has been portrayed so far has been nothing short of fanservice.
( But then, back in 1990, DC got away with this... )
Warning for sex and nudity. NSFW.

Morning becomes eclectic
Oct. 1st, 2011 09:49 amIn the past fortnight, as anybody who's been keeping an eye on any sort of comics media will know, there's been a lot of discussion about female sexuality in comics, notably with regards to Starfire in Red Hood and the Outlaws, Catwoman (why is none of that stuff under the Catwoman tags?) and now Voodoo.
I posted a few weeks ago about Ultra by the Luna Brothers, showcasing how the series' covers were tonnes of fun, but there were some problematic bits inside.
This is Ultra aka Pearl Penalosa. She's just been out on a date with a guy who she met in a restaurants a few days ago. For those who missed the previous post, Pearl is a flying brick and professional superheroine, with an agent and a set of endorsement deals.

I'm still conflicted on this. On the one hand, there's a somewhat mature look at relationships. Pearl is well adjusted, not beating herself up about sleeping with a guy on her first date and seems grounded. It's just the rest of the world that's... off (more of which later)
