Defending justice never goes perfectly right, even with a powersuit.

[thanekos]

Zetman, as TVTropes describes it, is something of a cynical look at superheroics.

It first found form in 1994 as a Weekly Shonen Jump oneshot: a young programmer, suddenly transformed into his game's superhuman protagonist, sets out to deal justice to an unfair world with his new powers.

Eight years later, the same artist revamped his work as a Young Jump ongoing.

(warning: not especially long post. Brace your connection, if you feel like it.)

(  The story, this time, concerns two men... Zetman, now Zet for short, is an artificial human grown for a dark purpose..  )

When you're sick with the flu, this kinda helps!

Or any general sort of ailment, really! This is a really cute story from Gotham Knights 18 where Bruce is lonely.
It's helped me feel better, so maybe you'll get some cheerfulness from it, too. :-D

World's Finest #4 - Saving Steph

[perletwo]

The now-infamous "calling Steph fat" segment from World's Finest #4 - ah, Damian, classy even in point-scoring. The byplay between these two is officially my favorite part of the Batverse right now. Writing by Sterling Gates, pretty pretty pretty art by Phil Noto.

Spider-Man - The Clone Saga #5

[cyberghostface]

Here we are with the penultimate issue of "The Clone Saga" miniseries. Once again, for those who are knew/have forgotten, this is a non-canon retelling of the infamous Spider-Man storyarc as it "should" have been. It follows the storyline of the original saga but makes some pretty big deviations as well. The fifth issue is no different in that regard.

Fantastic Four 575 Postbag - on the subject of "retard"

[stubbleupdate]

Now, this is the issue that has the line "This is where I buried the Galactus from the future" and kicked off Prime Elements. But, considering the stink that last issue raised here, I figure that people are more concerned with the mailbag, answered by Hickman, not Franklin and Valeria
( Presented in black and white to reduce file-size )

At least the Hickman art is only small on this one

Spirou: Origins [Part 3 of 3]

[houbanaut]

When Spirou was created by Rob-Vel, he was a rather blank and anonymous character. And even though Franquin later expanded his personality and gave him a human dimension, he still lacks a true psychology. ... I had so many questions: Why does he wear a hotel uniform when he never works as a bellhop? Has he ever been in love? Does he have any political views? How did he and Fantasio become lifelong friends? Who is Fantasio, anyway? And Spip, who is he? How come he can think?
— Émile Bravo

This is my last post in the series that explores the origins of Spirou. The first focused on the creation of the character and the early years of the series before Franquin, while the second presented Tome & Janry's comedic versions of Spirou's childhood. I'll wrap it up with Émile Bravo's acclaimed origin story, Le journal d'un ingénu and its prequel, but first I'd like to come at it from another angle: What are the experiences that turn readers (and future comic book artists) into Spirou fans?

Neotopia: Practice with the Grand Duchess

[q99]

Neotopia is a fantasy comic written/drawn by Rod Espinosa a few years ago. It has *Skyships*.

I plan on making a few posts from it, but I thought I'd start small and introduce the main character :)
