stubbleupdateI alludedlast month to the idea that Red Sonja often finds herself drawn by artists who just like to go wild on the idea of a busty powerhouse wearing next to nothing. Sometimes you get a Sonja with no internal organs (or bones, it seems), who absolutely couldn't exist in the real world, let alone swing a shield.
That gets pushed to the extreme in Mars Attacks Red Sonja as we see a Sonja that no amount of glutes workouts and HIIT training can make possible.

"At least my face can't turn out like the Joker's, or a giant red light bulb as in that Richie Rich comic...right?"
Okay, time to bring out the heavy stuff here. This tale of revenge upon revenge is so ridiculously, over-the-top grotesque and brutal it makes EC's "Foul Play" look like The Very Hungry Caterpillar by comparison. Warning for violence/gore.

Dollhouse: Epitaphs
Oct. 14th, 2010 12:09 amperletwoI picked up the Dollhouse season 2 DVD box set when it came out Tuesday, and it came bundled with a 21-page mini-comic from Dark Horse. I have scanned for you 7 pages plus the cover.
For those of you who didn't watch the show (RIP, Dollhouse), it was a Joss Whedon trip about a secret L.A. facility in which Actives have their consciousnesses wiped, original personalities saved to hard drive, and neurotech genius Topher designs and uploads a new personality for what they call "engagements" - life coaching, super-ninja action, or romance, whatever. When the engagements are over the new persona is wiped, leaving them in a passive "doll" state. We get to know the staff of the L.A. Dollhouse and about a half-dozen Dolls, chief among them Echo (Eliza Dushku) who quickly shows signs of having more going on in the cranium than Dolls are supposed to. This makes her more and more important as the series goes on.
Season 1 was supposed to end with ep 13, a series-capper in case the show wasn't renewed, but Fox declined to air it. "Epitaph One" was included in the s1 DVD set as an extra, and it quickly became a critical favorite, which helped Dollhouse get its second season. A "10 Years Later" flash-forward, it showed a L.A. ravaged by an apocalypse brought about by the Dollhouse tech. Most everyone has been mindwiped by a signal carried through phone waves, leaving them either "dumbshows" (dolls, basically) or "butchers." A few "actuals" are just trying to survive, and we follow a small band of them into what remains of the Dollhouse. There they learn through the chair some of how the apocalypse came about; people start getting killed; one of their band turns out to be not what they appear; and they load up a body with Echo's original personality Caroline to lead them to the cast-led Resistance. In Season 2 the L.A. crew comes to realize this apocalypse could be the inevitable end-point of their actions and work to prevent it; the series ended with "Epitaph Two," a return to the 10-years-later reality, which comes to pass despite their efforts.
The mini-comic is a slice-of-life following several characters through the events of 10:07 a.m., when the Neuropocalypse struck L.A.

Story by series scribes Jed Whedon and Marissa Tsncharoen, art by Cliff Richards. What'cha think? I'd buy a series following from this - though Dark Horse's work continuing the Buffy and Angel series haven't really wowed me.

Mar. 24th, 2010 04:57 pmphilippos42No, not the character from Byrne's Fantastic Four run, a new webcomic character.
Start here.
The forum has already called out that her costume is highly reminiscent of Julia Carpenter's. So they're brainstorming ideas for a new one. I thought s_d would appreciate this post:
'If you are just talking Costume, I think that the redback's pattern on a rifle resistant hard chest plate or good soft armor vest is a good idea.
'After all, the reason why Batman had the logo on his chest was to encourage people to shoot at his body armor, a smart girl like Heather could probably figure that out herself too.
'Combine that with Xdiesp's parkour outfit concept, and maybe a belt of pouches, and you've got a very practical superhero outfit.'
ETA: OK, for imagery, try this:( on finding her new arms )

cyberghostface.insanejournal.comI looked through the tags, and I noticed (at least) three different variants of the "Horror week" tag, either classifying it as "theme", an "event" or a "series". Which one is the proper one?
