I recently watched the movie Trollhunter. It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to watching it again in its native language, with subtitles. But I had trolls on the brain, and recently recovered my brush pen from what I thought was a certain doom. I had run out of ink, and following …

223 – Adam Warlock
I think I read maybe three issues of Warlock’s 90s series, after he had taken possession of the Infinity Gauntlet. My only real memories are of Warlock passing the Infinity Gems out to various characters, one of whom stuck the gem on his dick. The other memory I have is of buying the first issue …
Ok, PANIC!: The Adventures of Tintin
Never Forget
222 – Ms. Marvel
Carol Danvers in her Warbird/Ms. Marvel costume. I had pretty much forgotten she existed until she appeared in Kurt Busiek’s Avengers, and then I had no idea why her head wasn’t on fire anymore. Oh well, whatever. Comics.
221 – Binary
Carol Danvers’ second incarnation (see yesterday’s post), after Rogue wiped her mind and powers, designed by the late, great Dave Cockrum. That guy was the king of sleek modern superhero costume design, and there’s never been anyone that’s come close. Too bad he is gone, and particularly too bad when DC needed him the most.
219 – Shade The Changing Man

217 – Billy the Kid & Jeffrey, the Miniature Boy

216 – Robin
Damien Wayne, Robin IV – a character I despised when introduced and has since grown on me. I tried to make the drawing look as tough as possible and yet also look like a 10 year old. I don’t know that I succeeded.
