I am the Lady Sif

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

I have another post of how awesome the Thor crew is. This one is about Thor's Asgardian love and one of the finest warriors in the Nine Worlds, the Lady Sif!

Midgard women sometimes get their groove back by beginning unconventional relationships, traveling to other countries or by signing up for a pilates class. How does an Asgardian woman do it? By slicing and dicing space pirate scum. Enjoy!





Sif is laying low in a Broxton hotel, feeling fucked up since she just got free from the control of Loki. Who had been using her body as a catspaw in his schemes.

She's feeling lousy and vulnerable because she defines herself as a warrior but Loki is a foe she's never been able to vanquish. She's boozing it up at a Broxton bar when everyone's favorite space horse with the power of Thor comes looking for his oath-brother.



It's awkard because Bill and Sif had a thing back in the day.

It seems like Bill's sentient starship (Skuttlebutt) has been taken over by pirates who are infected with a bio-mechanical virus. Since Skuttlebutt's purpose is to protect Korbinite life, it ejects him and Ti and won't allow them back in. They need a non-Korbinite warrior to clean house. Thor isn't around but Sif steps up.

They book back to the ship and Sif prepares to do battle.



BTW, I love Sif's armor in this one-shot.



The infected space-dudes rush her and battle begins.



Sif battles through to the main chamber and confronts the alien leader who gives her the bullshit "we can all be one in the virus" kinda-borg speech. He infects her despite her Asgardian toughness.











And that's how a true bad-ass does it.

I quite like her armour, but given flesh contact is a bad idea (And Bill knew this in advance), wouldn't she wear something over her exposed skin (Thor wears all over armour most of the time given the type of battles he fights)

The one on the cover however... Oy! Talk about pandering to the fanboy.

[proteus_lives]

I was very please that the armor was different in the story and not the useless but pretty version on the cover.

[shanejayell]

Agreed, whoever did that cover should probably be slapped. *lol*

Not a bad issue tho.

[cleome45]

Yup. I wouldn't touch this story with a ten-foot pole based on a glance at that festering piece of... cheese.

[nezchan]

But it's big and red!

[cleome45]

So's my credit card bill, and I only look at that because I have to. :/

[icon_uk]

Nah, THIS is Big Red Cheese!

[nezchan]

I'll just keep settin' 'em up, you just keep knockin' 'em outta the park!

[icon_uk]

Bows... Though this, and a comment on the Doctor Occult thread now have me imagining Billy Batson mispronouncing his magic word and ending up as SHE-ZAM, the Big Red Cheesecake...

[nezchan]

The fact that this is Adult Comics Day brings to mind a very different sort of book...

[q99]

I'm guessing they didn't have time to get her a full-covering armor and just grabbed the best she had available.

[halloweenjack]

Yeah, the cover was a bit too "Play now, my Lord" for my taste. And yes, full-on armor would have been more logical, but the outfit does have a nice Diana-ish flair to it.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Well, it's probably Bill's fault, really. He only said 'by the way, flesh contact is bad, mm-kay?' when she was already IN the ship, with her standard armor already on. Had he given her prior warning, she doubtless would have worn something a little more covering.

Am i the only one nostalgic for the John Buscema silver, no-flesh body armour? I thought it looked majestic and bad-ass. As where her Buscema cheekbones.
