Captain America vs. 1990s morality

[starwolf_oakley]

Mark Gruenwald was an underrated Captain America writer. He did a quick look at Cap's ways compared to the more popular heroes of the early 1990s in CAPTAIN AMERICA #401. Cap was sad over some of the Avengers executing the Supreme Intelligence at the end of Operation: Galactic Storm.



When I posted this two years ago, a debate about WWII violence vs. Crime violence/hypocrisy debate started. Was 1990 society really more violent than what Cap had known in Great Depression and World War II?

You know what this community needs?

MORE HETALIA!

MORE CANADA!

No... it's rain.

Now that I've softened you all up with the Canada offering, something a bit more in tune with my Ultimate Fallout post... (not nearly as hard-hitting, but still pretty rough)

The 12 Labors of Wonder Woman - Part 8

[jkcarrier]

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

TL;DR version: Amnesia and bad continuity have left Wonder Woman unsure of her abilities, so she asks the JLA to monitor her next 12 missions to make sure she's still fit for duty.

This time, we've got the Phantom Stranger, Felix Faust, and an epic battle of patriotic ladies! Selected panels from a 10-page story, Wonder Woman #218, 1975.

Justice Society for Creative Anachronism

[flidgetjerome]

In the previous post for the Power Girl #26 preview (you know, the one with the adorable cosplayers) discussion turned to Peej's other costumes. I mentioned her 'renfaire' outfit from All-Star Comics #64 and a few people asked for scans so here they are.

The Importance of Being Clark.

[domino_blue]

A Superman post inspired by well...Megamind. With all this talk about the DCU reboot and how it changes Superman it got me thinking about what does make Superman work, and while this movie is not the best superhero parody ever it made me of think of what makes Superman work...and what you loose when you take it away. So behind the cut, Superman expies, a look at why Clark is important, and maybe some missed opportunities. Also if you care spoilers for Megamind.
