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
I’ve gushed about Shade the Changing Man before, so I’m not gonna repeat myself here. I wish this drawing had turned out better, and he certainly deserves better than being depicted as a hipster. I will say that I got turned onto Shade by my friend Bruce, and we loved the book so much we …
217 – Billy the Kid & Jeffrey, the Miniature Boy
A few months back, over at Gutter Trash, we reviewed Eric Powell & Kyle Hotz’ Billy the Kid’s Old-Timey Oddities. I went into the book pretty much knowing I was going to love it. I’m a huge fan of both Eric Powell and Kyle Hotz – a resident of Dayton, Ohio no less. My friend …
216 – Robin

215 – Parallax
So I don’t like Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern, he’s a boring douchebag. Earlier in the summer, I made the observation, with the Thor & Green Lantern movies coming out, that they were the opposites of each other. Thor is an arrogant asshole from another world who has his powers taken away and is …
214 – Huntress
Let’s see if Jim Lee made this character even more ridiculously slutty looking in the DCnU.
