[Link] | From Gambit vol 4 #10, John Layman on writing, and Georges Jeanty on pencils
A little context: Kitty has caught three of her students trying to steal the answers to an exam, and in a fit of "wisdom", she has decided that Gambit should help straighten them out.

Spider-Girl #30, three pics under the cut
So ... Spider-Girl #30 came out.
And NONE of you have posted it.( This posts contains at least three reasons why you should buy Spider-Girl )
Note: I'm tagging the title as Spider-Girl as a catch-all for Spider-Girl, Amazing Spider-Girl, and Spectacular Spider-Girl.

Pseudo-Clark and Pseudo-Lois
This is from an issue of Supreme, the Superman homage/pastiche comic published in the 90's. In the comic, both Supreme in his secret identity and the Lois Lane figure, Diane Duane, work at a comic book company. They're the artist and writer, respectively, on Omniman, a fictional hero who's ALSO a Superman pastiche. So Supreme's a Superman analog who, in his secret ID, writes about a different, fictional Superman analog. Got all that? Not as confusing as it might sound.
As you might expect, it's a set-up that allows for plenty of meta-commentary in the stories. In issue 50, Supreme, in his Ethan Crane identity, has a long talk with Diana about his love life. The two discuss the pitfalls and perils of superhero relationships.

Lois: Trusting Wife
Since it seems to be Clois week I thought why not post a few funny pages from Superman #192. This occured during the whole Cir-El Supergirl debacle (though I do like the character herself). So let's have some fun shall we!

Somehow I hope my kid turns out like this.
So I was browsing some random webcomics when I stumbled upon They All Bleed The Same, written and drawn by Joseph D. Rintoul. It appears to be fairly recent - there's only about 30-odd entries.
The latest one, though? It hooked me in.
So here's a link because I'm lazy and don't want to type the cut code.

Continuing Clois Week
Oh I love what I've sparked :D
"Superman: Up Up and Away!" is one of my absolute favorite stories. It's one I take out when I'm feeling out of sorts. It takes place immediately following the One Year Later jump, and deals with Superman's loss of powers and how he slowly gets them back. Perhaps what I like about it the most is that it's not a Superman story so much as a Clark Kent story. Yes, Superman appears and is heroic, but really the focus is on Clark and the life he leads and those around him, and shows why he is a hero even without the cape and powers. I strongly recommend it to everyone. Go buy the trade!
This scene is originally from Superman #652. Clark's powers have just been returning:

Grant Morrison does Wonder Woman
Only not in that way. I know y'all have nasty minds.
A few examples of Wonder Woman as portrayed by Grant Morrison from JLA to Final Crisis. Ok, not a few. This thing ain't dial-up safe, sorry.

From here to infinity
From 1947, here's Pete Costanza's art on WHIZ COMICS# 91, a nice example of an infinity cover.
That is, the cover shows Captain Marvel reading the same comic we are looking at, with the result that the cover of the book he's holding shows a small view of him holding the same comic, which in turn shows a still smaller view, and so on into infinity (or until Morgo, Tyrant of the Microverse, objects at this intrusion). This particular example is appealing because of the simplicity of its execution and because the comic held by the Big Red Cheese is at an angle. This angle adds to the sense of infinity, as we seem to be diving down into the series of covers (look at Cap's hand, it almost seems to be moving).Infinity covers were popular through the Golden Age, before super-heroes became too serious and self-absorbed for their own damn good and lost most of their playful spirit. You'd sometimes see the effect on slick magazine covers and in cartoons.. Charles Addams did one showing a barber shop with mirrors on both walls so that you see a series of diminishing reflections in the chair. (And this being Addams, one and only one of the reflections revealing a smirking werewolf)
Collectors are funny (this is not the best-kept secret since D-Day). Just as some search for anything to do with Bettie Page or Buddy Holly and nothing else, some only want EC Comics with Wally Wood art and some will not sleep easy until they have every appearance of Hot Stuff the Little Devil (no, seriously). There are collectors who aren't that intererested in the comics in themselves as they are in building an assortment whose covers show skulls or gorillas or girls getting spanked. So I'm sure there is more than one fan out there with a beautiful collection of nothing but infinity covers.

The History of Jason Todd (Part 3) -- Teen Titans Go!
Okay, so we know that Jason started his time as Robin as a bit of a brat. But his character evolved a BIT differently in other comics. For example, while Jason in Batman was rude, scowling, kind of a know-it-all, and increasingly violent... in the short time he was on the Teen Titans he wasn't so bad at all! (Donna Troy though? She comes off pretty poorly...)
