Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Special

[superboyprime]

'Every Power Rangers story I’ve written has answered a question I had. “Why is brave Goldar so scared of Lord Zedd?” “Why is a seemingly gentle creature like Finster in Rita’s team?” Next week, I get to ask “How did Karone never face consequences for her actions as Astronema?”' - Trey Moore

Wonder Woman #48 - #50

[lordultimus]

"She has resilience, and it's something I've loved about the character all along. I've always been a fan of the character, from her pervy era by William Marston to the era where they had her set in the 1940's during the time of the Wonder Woman TV show.

I was especially struck by how they utilized that in the Wonder Woman movie. I was reading later, there was a scene that the people around Patty Jenkins didn't want to film, and she insisted, where they're in the trenches and she's like, "Where's the enemy?" And they were like, they're on the other side of No Man's Land. And she's like, "Let's go get them!" And they're like, no, you can't do it like that. You have to plan.

And while the men are still huffing and puffing and mansplaining each other about how they're going to do it, she's already halfway across the battlefield to take on the machine guns of the Germans.

That scene, to me, was the epitome of her being an Amazonian warrior, being fearless, and being almost eager for battle. I think maybe people shied away from it because it felt like it might come across as war-mongering, but it was just an enthusiasm for battle that Gal Gadot brought to the film that I found very exciting and appealing." - James Robinson

For a story whose central notion is about the power of love and life, what a wonderful and subversive notion! That the machinery behind the scenes -- the afterlife, the choir of angels, even the Supreme Being at the heart of it all -- are these grey, dismal, penny-pinching asshole tax collectors. -- Si Spurrier

SOLO AVENGERS #2: Hawkeye had a bad dad

[starwolf_oakley]

I intended to post this before The Life of Captain Marvel #1.
SOLO AVENGERS #2 covers Hawkeye's origin, adding in the man who actually taught Clint Barton how to use a bow and arrow. It is written by Tom DeFalco with art by M.D. Bright.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #21 - "The Catastrophe Con, Part II"

[laughing_tree]

I guess I have a long track record of mischievously making people like characters that they probably shouldn’t. One of the joys of fiction is that we can encapsulate moments that entertain people and make them feel like they relate to somebody, but when you pull out and look at it on a macro level you realize that you’ve just been hoodwinked into something appalling. Aphra does that all the time, and that’s one of Kieron’s strengths. -- Si Spurrier
