One Perfect Moment: Dex-Starr

[thormonger.insanejournal.com]

Because it was one of my favorite moments in comics last year, from Final Crisis: Rage Of The Red Lanterns...

I don't care how many times this is posted. Someone could post this every single day and it would STILL BE AWESOME.


Kitty!

[thormonger.insanejournal.com]

I agree. We need more Rage Cat!

[janegray.insanejournal.com]

Adorable!

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Classic bait and switch in the Cat-world...

[thormonger.insanejournal.com]

Aside from the blood-plasma-vomit, I thought it was typical cat behavior.

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

I would be unable to count the number of times my cat's lured me in with the cute act only to bite/claw my hand and run off.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Fo'real!

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Not my cat.

[sd_mouser.insanejournal.com]

Uh, it's a Lantern-level hairball.

Yea, it's still typical cat behavior.

Aside from the blood-plasma-vomit, I thought it was typical cat behavior.

You never met our demonic hellspawn..Satan rest his soul...Familiar.

I swear that cat could hurl on command...specifically if myself or the roommate were not getting out of bed fast enough to feed him.

[endis_ni.insanejournal.com]

Let's face it, Earth-cats absolutely would if they could.

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

That last panel will never fail to crack me up. Oh, Ruffles. You're such a spaz. A violent, psychotic, adorable spaz.

RUFFLES THE BLOOD PUKING KITTY

[motoe.insanejournal.com]

he's so cute <3

[killermoth1.insanejournal.com]

Oh man Dex-Starr is awesome, I really hope he beomes a recurring character in the DC universe for years to come, because he is just that awesome.

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

Even if the rest of Blackest Night ends up being full of fail, it still gave us Dex-Starr, and, really, that's enough.

[leikomgwtfbbq.insanejournal.com]

Oh, yes, indeed. I think he should have his own series, where he goes around acting like a normalish cat (normal as cats ever get) and then just suddenly going into rage-mode trying to catch mice or bat the fish out of the koi pond or in one of those random fits cats have where they race around the house yowling for no reason at all.

Also, a little old lady should own him and give him his true name (RUFFLES!)

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

I second that motion for his own series~!

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

GIP. >_>

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

Angry kitties are still adorable kitties.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

For 'still', read 'extra'. >_>

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

Of course! Forgive my most grievous of errors!

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

Sweet Carnage Onred, that's a lot of blood.

[kali921.insanejournal.com]

Fun fact! Artist Shane Davis named Dex-Starr after his cat Dexter!

[kabukiokami.insanejournal.com]

The artist named . . . Well, that certainly explains the intimate knowledge displayed in the kitty teeth/fangs as well as the paws/claws department.

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

There was an interview on Newsarama where it was revealed that Shane Davis put the cat in the background as a joke, but it became an actual Red Lantern when everybody who saw it said "That's awesome!"

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

And he was BOGGLED by it, but remained sane enough to insist on the name.

That's the best part to me...his creator is the only person in the company (or, you know, the world), who didn't realize he was awesome. >_>

[ninjapeps.insanejournal.com]

I loved the story of how Dex-Star came to be.

[nymphgalatea.insanejournal.com]

The fact he wears his power ring on his tail never fails to amuse.

I love Ruffles the Pukecat.

[mysteryfan.insanejournal.com]

Okay, I was so in love with the awesomeness that I didn't even see that.

Thanks. Because, yes.

[queenanthai.insanejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, anyone know which one of us nicknamed him "Ruffles"?

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

IIRC, it was thekamisama.

[perletwo.insanejournal.com]

Ruffles the RageKitty has nothing BUT perfect moments! Moments of perfect RAGE, sure, but still! Perfect!

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

As he's doing this, his STOOPID sister Dee-Dee is ruining his secret kitty lab!

[kabukiokami.insanejournal.com]

What is it they say? Oh. Yeah.

FEAR THE CUTE ONES

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

ALL SHALL CUDDLE HIM AND DESPAIR!

[kingrockwell]

Cat-sixpack always gets me.
Never change, Ruffles. Never change.

[jasper_stars.insanejournal.com]

As I read this, my cat jumped down from the window and meowed at me. I thought 'Oh God, I know you've never liked me as much as Mom, but please don't kill me, Julia...' O.o
