Rambling on Grant Morrison's Japanese Heroes

[majingojira.insanejournal.com]

Crossposted from NoScans_Daily. 

With the publication of Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance, some more of the wackiness regarding the Super Young Team of Japanese-Wannabe-American Heroes has risen through the internet.

I thought I'd add to the kafuffle with an unorganized generally off the cuff reaction to this.

( Some Spoilers below the cut )

But those are my thoughts on the situation.

And, for Legality, a Japanese character who got better treatment, and J. Johna Jameson.

Who is Donna Troy's maid of honor?

[hollasa.insanejournal.com]

Thank you, xdoop, for the recent posts on Donna Troy and Terry Long.

When looking at the wedding scenes, I was reminded of some continuity changes as regards who Donna's maid of honor, and taking into consideration the whole "At scans_daily, it's never just you", I thought I'd post them (now that I found them!)

The question - is Donna's maid of honor Kory or Diana?

The Spirit - Introducing Silk Satin

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

This is from one of those massive hardcover archives, which are hundreds of pages, so hopefully it's okay.

Think of Silk Satin as an early version of Catwoman. She and the Spirit have the same kind of quasi-love affair, hampered by the fact that they're not on the same side of law and order. Although Satin later reformed and became an intelligence agent in WW2, Spirit was firmly (well, not firmly) with Ellen Dolan by then, so things never worked out. And in Darwyn Cooke's reboot, she's just an intelligence agent. That, coupled with Ellen Dolan being The Girl of the title, makes her a much flatter character than Eisner's version, IMHO. But hey, don't take my word for it, have some scans.
