Fanwork Thursday: Batgirls, Green Lantern Serenade, and Wonder Girl's Fashion Faux Pas

[auggie18]

What? We don't need to limit these to Thursdays anymore? Oh well!



Gutters are what you call the white space between panels in comics.


Just in case you didn't know.

This is a continuation of my last Batgirls strip. If you're lost and confused, check my last post.




So, recently Cassie's Wonder Girl armor went cuckoo bananas and went through armor puberty, growing spikes everywhere.

It... does not look good. Like, I know it's supposed to be evil looking, but it just really looks, y'know, bad.

(The armor punctured the soda with some of its countless spikes. Not sure if that's clear.)

This is mostly an excuse for me to kvetch about how they turned Solstice, one of the very few indian superheroes, into a smoke monster for no good reason. I mean, she hasn't really got any character development out of it. Of course, that might be because she's become a wallpaper character.



You know when you have an idea and you just sorta roll with it, and then you look back and think "what the hell was that?"

That's what happened here.

So, yeah. Parallax and Hal Jordan singing a Cher song to Guy Gardner. I don't know, whatever.

And that horrific note, I leave you. Hope you guys enjoyed that.

I don't know... I personally think you're kinda sending mixed messages by having the characters still be in 'gutter' limbo, which is perfectly appropriate for Steph, Cass, etc, but then bringing in the concept of fridging, which doesn't work in the same context as gutter-limbo, because there's a difference between not being used and being dead.

I dunno, given how comics characters can be brought back from death easily nowadays, it seems that keeping a character dead after fridging them and keeping them in the limbo has roughly the same result.

teehee.... i can't nothink this now :D

well the way it was explained was that Solstice's powers are connected to the actual Solstice(es?) the Summer and the Winter Solstice. The summer solstice is teh time of greatest light. and the winter solstice is the time of greatest dark. i think its a clever idea... BUT i do agree, she needs to come out of the background. so far as much of her character as we have seen she still seems REALLY great. despite what has happened she is still for the most part full of Light (even in her "dark phase")

also ParaHal doing Cher with Guy... SO. MUCH. LOVED...

I did NOT see the Parallax thing coming. I am wiping tears of laughter from my eyes.

I like how Cass being protective of Steph is so automatic.
