Not too shabby. I need a plan for today, and then I can act accordingly! Breakfast, tea, paper, reading, studying, and writing- I really want to rp or fic or something. And to try to maybe put a few threads up in my games. And resist the urge to app elsewhere until I find out about the two I have pending and make sure that I can handle it and all that jazz.
And now my stomach's grumbling so I shall go start on things.

| When Matt met Luke: Marvel Knights #11 |
[07 Nov 2009|11:32am] |
So, last time I was here I posted some pages from the 2000 series Marvel Knights, a fun little exercise into street level team-building, featuring Daredevil assembling a team to take down the Punisher and for about fifteen issues, taking on various threats of a superpowered kind. The team was originally just Daredevil, Black Widow, Shang-Chi and Dagger (from Cloak and Dagger), but the group got an expansion in issue #5 with the inclusion of Moon Knight. The latter thought the team needed some organising (y'know, some actual being a team) and in issue #11, he brought in Luke Cage for some reinforcements.
This is a response to starwolf oakley's recent post, featuring Cage's interaction with DD in the pages of Bendis' Daredevil.
Scans not mine. Written by Chuck Dixon, drawn by Ed Barreto. 7/22.

vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown.
And,
Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.
It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.
I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP.
I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

| Granny Goodness wants YOU - For the Female Fury Cadets.... |
[07 Nov 2009|01:30am] |
The Karl and Barbara Kesel run on Hawk and Dove was one of my favourite titles back in the 1990's. They oversaw the introduction of Dawn Granger as the second Dove (Who was, to be honest, FAR more interesting than Don Hall had ever been) and created as good a superhero comic as one might hope to find as well.
The Kesels are amongst the few people who seems to "get" Jack Kirby characters and concept, Karl in particular used them a lot in things like this title (and Superboy), and in a way that was usually respectful, but expanded on them in ways that Kirby never did, usually because he was already moving on to his NEXT idea.
Take the Female Furies, Granny Goodness' elite warriors; Lashina, Stompa, Bernadeth and the marvellously named Mad Harriet. In some way these ladies are a lynchpin of the DCU, an equivalent perhaps to the MU's Wrecking Crew. They're powerful, versatile, each has an awesome visual design, and together form a team which is a good, but not unbeatable, challenge for a new hero team (or single hero if they're powerful enough) to test their mettle and resourcefulness. They also have the advantage of not needing much explanatory motivation "A mission from Darkseid/Granny Goodness" covers a multitude of plot points.
And at the same time, they had a static membership for a LOOOONG time. Prior to this story they had only ever added ONE member to the team when John Ostrander introduced the archer Artemiz and her cyber-pack (Technologically enhanced Apokaliptian wolves, NOT exactly cuddly puppies).
And then we had this story, from Hawk and Dove 21, with guest art from Steve Erwin, which presents us with a...

| Looks kinda like one of them Rube Goldberg contraptions |
[06 Nov 2009|07:13pm] |
Rube Goldberg did not invent the corned beef and Swiss cheese sandwich. (Although many would praise him if he had.) Nope, he was a lifelong cartoonists who created a number of strips (he seems to have come with the "wiseguy answers to stupid questions" before WW I, long before Al Jaffee)and many political commentary panels. But he will be remembered for his infernal contraptions which perform a simple mundane task in a remarkably roundabout and inefficient way. You still see this done in movies, TV and cartoons (PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE had a number of these gags), but they owe their inspiration to Rube Goldberg.

Awwww, sad! Sondre didn't get Peter Parker. Not that I was entirely sure that he would but it would have been SO COOL.
But today has been a good day. I haven't been able to say that I've had a good day in a while, so this is nice. I think the snaps cups definitely helped; I really like the opportunity to say nice things to you all, and reading what you guys have commented to me makes me really happy.
I have a bit of work to do this weekend, but it isn't too bad (knock on wood- haha!). I would love to write/rp with some of you guys, so please comment or shoot me an im or email or something if you're interested!

| An SD1.0 repost and a genuine "Grail Piece" acqusition!! :) |
[06 Nov 2009|10:55pm] |
Chances are that if you owned ANY DC licensed merchandise in the late 70's or early 80's it either featured art by, or based on, work done by Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez and Dick Giordano, two stalwarts of the organisation, who produced acres of top notch, lovely licensing art.
The art would be used from notepads to action figures, from t-shirts to underoos, and so had to be both simple and stylish, easily reproduced and instantly recognisable. They could hardly have asked for better!
The attached pics are scanned as best I can, and hopefully might bring a little happiness to your desktop should you wish to tweak them that way.

| DAREDEVIL #43: Luke Cage is kind of a jerk. |
[06 Nov 2009|03:30pm] |
I've been hot and cold about Brian Michael Bendis' work. But I've decided to take a look at his DAREDEVIL run with Alex Maleev.
Matt Murdock has found out two things: the Owl is trying to take over the Kingpin's territory with Mutant Growth Hormone *and* the NYPD are trying to get him on tape as Daredevil. So if Daredevil can't do it...
According to Wikipedia, this takes place after Jessica and Luke had their one night stand but before Jessica realized she was pregnant in ALIAS.
( I'm starting to doubt the man-crush theory. )
