knight_movesHey gang, what if someone pretended to be Clark Kent... while really being evil?
Come back, this has nothing to do with Zach Snyder.

glaurungIn the beginning, Kara wore a blue frock:
If it looked a bit like a high school cheerleader's outfit (back in the day when cheerleader outfits didn't show much skin and weren't all that tight fitting), that was probably intentional. And this suited her just fine all through high school and most of the way though college. And then, 12 years later, her editors belatedly realized the 60's had brought a sea change in fashion, and things started to get weird. ( Sartorial madness ensued )
And that is the long and sad story of Kara's closet of super outfits. Maybe someone sensible came along and rescued her from further sartorial shame by stealing all but the hotpants ensemble?
In some cases sadly, in other cases thankfully, we never got to see her wearing some of the other outfits in that closet, but evidence of their existence was preserved:( Read more... )

glaurungAh, 1970. The "Mod Squad" had been on the air for three years. Over in Britain, "Mod" styles were fading fast, but in offices of DC comics, where "hip" and "trendy" editors were always proud to be in the vanguard of all the latest cultural trends ("vanguard means in the rear, right?"), it was time for Supergirl to get slightly less behind the times, and a new "Mod" outfit was exactly the thing. Creator credits were still too radical for DC back then, but the Internet knows the blame is all on the head of writer/artist Mike Sekowsky.
( 5/15 pages) )
And that is the tale of how Supergirl hung up her cheerleader frock after, what, 12 years of wearing the exact same thing every day? Something tells me she would have changed things up a lot sooner if not for wanting to avoid a fight with her stick-in-the-mud cousin and his small town Kansas prudery.

The Super-Team's Split-Up
Nov. 9th, 2012 10:17 amarbre_rieurflint_marko's recent entry about Superboy's Robot Teacher that "made him a man" reminded me that I've been meaning to post this. You'll understand why once you've read it.

perletwoWelcome, s_d, to the tale of a sweet, modest little romance that bloomed in the background of the Big Universe Saving plots of the 1980s Legion of Super-Heroes. It's the story of a new-agey crystal girl and her mineral balance.
Blok and the White Witch.
( We all change. That's what gives us life. )
So now they're both on inactive status. But maybe someday they'll rejoin the Legion, and be cute and lighthearted again. Hope springs eternal, right?

perletwoLast ish of the rebooted Adventure Comics, following the travails of the Legion Academy's newest class. Four pages, in which the rookies find out just what it takes to even be considered for Legion membership.
When last we left ourwannabees heroes, Legion Academy instructors Duplicate Girl, Night Girl and Bouncing Boy found Legion of Super-Villians charter member Cosmic King (analogue to Chemical King or Element Lad, not Cosmic Boy) invading the empty Legion HQ, and were soundly trounced. Rookies Comet Queen, Chemical Kid and Dragonwing caught the takedown and moved in for the rescue...
( ...and are soundly trounced themselves in the first three pages. )

Adventure Comics #528 - this 'n' that
Jul. 6th, 2011 06:00 pmperletwoPicked up Adventure Comics #528 today, still following the adventures of the current crop of Legion Academy students and teachers. It's not a big blockbuster issue, just connective tissue wrapping up a little old business and bringing the Academy folks into the current big Legion of Super-Heroes/Legion of Super-Villains donnybrook. But I did find one or two nuggets of mild interest, and so am posting a cover preview and two panels here.
( Graduation Day )
This is one of those jobbies with two sets of pencillers/inkers, which makes for a jarring transition about halfway through the ish. Of the two I think I prefer the first section, which according to the signature on the splash page was pencilled by Geraldo Borges.

icon_ukMy LCS didn't have this in stock, so a couple of pages, courtesy of CBR from their preview as Phil Jimenez.
As it's a new comic this week, I'll stick to the two page rule, it seems only fair,
But since covers don't count... That remains an awesome outfit for Dragonwing...
Also note in the bottom left box is the Legion's resident medic Dr Gym'll (He makes Bones McCoy look like little Miss Mary Sunshine, but he's a great character) with Variable Lad.
( Now THAT'S sci-fi looking! )
Mr Jimenez does seriously kick arse work on this title
And this is also from CBR, a cover variant for New Mutants #25 (New creative team, new direction, etc etc) just because I think it's pretty!
( The gangs all here... and then some! )

Some more of the Legion Academy's newest class of students, from last month's Adventure Comics...
( 1/3 of the issue )
icon_uk...it's the weekend, payday is just around the corner, and it's been a rough week at work.. so with that in mind, it's time for some random, pointless, tooth rotting cuteness... we warned.
( What makes a Robin happy? )
( Chibi Boostle... which sounds like something you'd order from an Indian restaurant )
( And for legality, 31st Century boys... )

perletwoIn keeping with the theme of superfangirl1's Adventure 517 post, I thought I'd point out that Cosmic Boy suddenly has an interesting addition to how they represent his powerset.
( All things considered, maybe they should've stuck with just the magno-rings? )
Snarkers, start your engines. Riffing commences in 3...2...1.... XD
1 page, that makes 5 posted from a 20-page story.
There is no in-comm tag for co-penciler Marlo Alquiza or inker Travis Lanham, if a mod wouldn't mind adding them?
