Tim

I wound up really liking this costume as I drew it. Who knew?! Tim Drake is the best Robin. Sorry, Dick. As much as I love Dick, Tim just rules. He was introduced when I got super hardcore into Batman. Sadly, I don’t think he was ever utilized greatly as Batman’s partner, but when he …

Jason

Jason Todd again, pre-Crisis Dick-clone version, in his nifty original costume. I wasn’t gonna draw this, having done so once before, but, I really like this costume.

Jason

I love Robin. He’s the 3rd most important character in superhero history (sorry, Wonder Woman. You’re #4). When I started thinking about how many variations of Robin there are, I realized I could do a theme. So welcome to it! First up is Jason Todd, the Better Off Dead Robin! I don’t care for Jason …

30. Enigma

Usually I have been very verbose, probably too much when I should have just kept my brainmouth shut. Oddly, I have very little to say about Enigma. It’s maybe one of my favorite comics of all times. Meanwhile, as a straight man, there’s a meaning to this book that I’ll never be able to connect …

29. Cobweb

I know very little about Cobweb, other than she was created by Melinda Gebbe & Alan Moore as part of Tomorrow Stories, and is a lesbian. So as I’ve been going through this month, picking characters I’d like to draw or wanted to draw, and finding inspiration on various lists of queer characters, I stumbled …

28. Hulkling

I got… nothin’.

27. The Ray

He’s called The Ray, and his name is Ray! Can’t remember when he was re-introduced into the current DC continuity – if it was before or after his appearances in the CW shows – but he’s the perfect kind of character to retcon in almost any way. Beloved by some, I’m sure, but still obscure, …

26. Shining Knight

Sir Ystin/Ystina was introduced by Grant Morrison in the Seven Soldiers series, but I recall that being more she was presented as a girl who disguised herself as a male in order to fight as a Knight, before being tossed through time. However, in the New 52 universe, Ystina was characterized as a biological female …

25. Flash

Always Wally, except sometimes not, but Never Barry. In that “sometimes not” section we have Jess Chambers, a Flash from an alternate Earth. They showed up in the Future State event, but possibly elsewhere? I read their story from the 2021 DC Pride book and enjoyed it quite a bit, and I really like their …

24. Loki

Fuck America. Fuck this garbage, fascist, third world country. Listen, the 15-20% of me that wavers from hetero can totally recognize that Tom Hiddleston is absolutely sexy. I. Get. It. I love him in the movies, and the Loki show was fantastic. But, I cannot reconcile smokeshow movie Loki to comic Loki. Loki in the …
