Too late for Fanart Thursday, too late for Valentines Day

[icon_uk]

But you know what, it's not been a fun week and I just don't care! :)

My Pet Scarab

This is a series of strips rather than one continuous one (It's two vertical, four panel strips, side by side; three individual panels; a four panel vertical strip and then a single panel above a three panel strip), and it may take a couple of minutes to sort out the order, but trust me, it's worth it.

Who was the most badass character in Jem?

Three guesses! :)

And a couple of late Valentines

(Click to go to the page of the artist)

And some old fashioned DC Valentines from the 1970/80's, many of which can be rendered weired by either the application of context, or by ignoring it completely! :)







Love the innocence of "I like you!" and "You're nice", but look Aquaman has SIDEBURNS!!

I love the Luke, Danny, and Danielle one. And omfg those valentines are fantastic, does anyone else still wish they were in grade school so they could buy superhero valentines and pass them out to everyone? I mean, I'd do it now, but it's different when you're in grad school.

Hope you have a better week next week, Icon.

I love the old-fashioned Valentines! Superhero Valentines were always my favorites to give and receive. :)

All my favorite characters, too. And the, ahem, subtext is really groovy! ;)

My Pet the Alien Scarab is best!

[magusfool]

It's just so endearing that Luke and Jessica named their daughter after Danny.

Also, am I the only one who has noticed that NOBODY fan arts Nightwing in red with all kinds of busy, unnecessary lines? Do DiDio and Lee even know the definition of the word "iconic"?

[skemono]

Do DiDio and Lee even know the definition of the word "iconic"?

It means "Barbara Gordon is Batgirl", right?

And Barry is the Flash, Hal is Green Lantern and Superman isn't married.

Though somehow Tim was never Robin, Bruce has a five year career but a ten year old son, and the Amazon's are man-kidnapping-and-murdering rapists, so I'm sure it all balances out... somehow...

[ablackraptor]

Which is weird, when you remember that a scarily large number of people cried racism at the Green Lantern film because they had no idea who Hal was and thought John Stewart was the original Green Lantern, and that just about every aspect of the Flash that most people know originates from Wally West, not Barry. Hell, the costume Barry's wearing is just a stylized version of Wally's costume (and that annoys me far more than it should!)

And, considering that while Supes and Lois may not have gotten married for quite some time, they are almost always together or romantically linked in virtually every adaptation ever. Since DiDio tends to use 'Iconic' to mean 'what non-comic fans know of it', I would assume that Supes and Lois being together is more 'iconic' then him being together with Diana.

Not to mention that the most ionic Robin is Dick, not Damian. I don't mind Damian, but I call bull on him being kept while Cass and Steph and dropped. Why does the ten year old that half the fanbase still can't stand get to stay, but the two kickass 3 dimensional teenaged girls who tend to be reasonably popular or at least well thought of by the fanbase at large and have only minor pockets of haters have to be dropped so they can bring them back in 'when they're ready'?

"Hell, the costume Barry's wearing is just a stylized version of Wally's costume (and that annoys me far more than it should!)"

You're not the only one. Barry not only stole Wally's title, HE STOLE HIS SUIT. You know what else hurts more than it should? Watching Justice League: Doom and hearing Michael Rosenbaum do Barry's voice.

And as much as I love Jason, Damian, and esp. Tim (who will always be my Robin), I would have had much more respect for this reboot if they had rolled it back to Dick being Robin. What especially confuses me is why BART stayed, but there was no place for Wally in the New 52--surely we can agree that, in "iconic" terms, if Barry MUST be Flash, then Wally should have at least been Kid Flash. I love Bart, but come on.

[ablackraptor]

Oh I agree there. I've only seen a bit of hat film, but for my sanity I had to pretend that it was Wally. Don't know why they changed it to Barry anyway.

Its strange isn't it? Its like they're not entirely sure who they're aiming for. The most I can tell is that they're trying to appeal to themselves, since this 'iconic' justification isn't working.

[onceaskrull]

Okay, I loled.

[superfangirl1]

I love to give dick grayson robin a bondage valentine. :P

[ablackraptor]

For some reason, I cringe at all the Bruce ones. I'm so used to him being really unwilling to express emotion or affection that when he does, it makes me feel uncomfotable.

And, for reasons I know, when I read the Batgirl 'Drive me Batty' one, I got 'Drives us Bats' stuck in my head. Damn, I need to get that song on my phone at some point.

[kraesil]

Batman is smiling in that valentine thing. ...It's creepier than the Batglare.

Who is the one in the black and white hoodie in "3 Special Bats"? Racking my brain and coming up with nothing.

[silverhammerman]

Nightrunner I'd say.

[philippos42]

Bruce smiled a lot back in the '70's and early '80's. And even more before that. He used to be "millionaire playboy" Bruce Wayne, and could at least appear to be a cheerful guy.

[gunny]

omg I would buy most of those hoodies. DC needs to make these ASAP
