09:45 pm [uadlika] [Link]	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: ( 5 scans after the jump ) Tags: char: lois lane, char: superman/clark kent, creator: geoff johns, creator: pete woods, publisher: dc comics, series: clois, title: superman (16 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:56 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 14- The Final Chapter! Random Acts of Steph! Okay guys! Here's my last Super Steph post! sniff It's been fun, and thanks a lot for the nice stuff said, and thanks you gave me. I'm also very happy to hear this (and/or my posts on the old s_d) turned some of you into Steph fans. Any one who'd like to visit, I have a Steph Wiki. It's very thorough, with scans, art, interviews, news, issue summaries and profiles on Steph and her various allies and enemies. I'm proud of it, in a geeky fannish way. Though it's mostly me, I've had help from k9feline, scottyquick, stephsvoice and most recently, LevralMrX who is a Spoiler fan from France! Steph fans are taking over the world, people! Anyway, he sent me these Steph backup scans, which used to be on the most excellent site Even Robins (devoted to Jason, Steph and animated Tim) but the site appears to be deceased. :( They're early Steph stories from Showcase and Batman Chronicles. Also, Steph beating up her baby daddy, getting comforted by Tim, and running off some gangsters but also getting knocked on her ass. It's hard to be a trainee vigilante. Robin #80, Robin #107, Robin #40, Huntress/Spoiler, Batman Chronicles #22 and Showcase '95 #5. ( Dear Creepy Uncle Dave: LOL, PWNED! Love, Stephanie. ) Tags: char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: spoiler/robin/batgirl/steph brown, creator: chuck dixon, creator: gordon purcell, creator: pete woods, creator: staz johnson, publisher: dc comics, series: super steph series, title: robin (13 comments \| Leave a comment)

07:29 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 11- "From now on, you can call me Robin." So we enter the era of Robin!Steph! I have mixed feelings about this era. Steph was Robin because she was going to die. Therefore, she was set up to fail. And die. The story of her Robinness was ridiculously contrived and OOC because Willingham can't write any DC characters worth a damn, IMO. BUT, it was also fun. Steph as Robin was good fit, we got a good Detective Comics and "Batgirl and Robin" story out of it. Then she died. And didn't get a memorial. And the fans protested. And we got her back. If Stephanie hadn't become Robin, fans wouldn't have noticed how stupid and misogynist and cheapdrama!!!111 her death was, and how badly she was treated as much. And we probably wouldn't have gotten her back as soon as we did. And a lot of fans discovered her because of her becoming Robin, and her death, including me. So all in all, I'm glad Steph was Robin. Let's look over the six stories where she got to be wonderfully Robin-y, shall we? ( Robin #126-128, Batgirl #53, Detective Comic #796 and Teen Titans #13 ) Tags: char: batgirl/cassandra cain, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: spoiler/robin/batgirl/steph brown, creator: andersen gabrych, creator: bill willingham, creator: dylan horrocks, creator: geoff johns, creator: pete woods, creator: tom grummett, series: super steph series, title: batgirl, title: detective comics, title: robin, title: teen titans (48 comments \| Leave a comment)

06:51 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 10- The aftermath... and fun with Cass! Last post Steph had to deal with a lot of stuff. Now we cover Batgirl #38 and the rest of Steph's appearances in Jon Lewis's run. Post Riddler beatdown, Lewis had Steph take a break from being Spoiler, so we only see her as Stephanie Brown for the rest of his run. I imagine (and I'm jumping to conclusions here like a hurdler whoa) plans for Steph's death were already in the works at this point (they make have been in the works since that Gotham Knights issue where Bats fired her, considering how incredibly forced and non-sense making that was) and Lewis was retiring her in hopes of being able to spare her until it all blew over. No such luck, as soon as Lewis left, Willingham had her back in costume with no explanation, because her death was in the editorially mandated cards. It just seems a likely explanation to me. But we will not dwell on that. On to the Steph goodness. ( Cass and Steph fight, Tim has his sixteenth b-day, and Bats is a dick. Naturally. ) Tags: char: batgirl/cassandra cain, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: spoiler/robin/batgirl/steph brown, creator: andersen gabrych, creator: jon lewis, creator: pete woods, in-joke: herodickery, series: super steph series, title: batgirl, title: robin (6 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:07 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 8- of alternate Robins and siderealists We have now entered Jon Lewis's run! HERE IS A SECRET. The first Robin comic I ever got was #102. That's how I was introduced to Steph. That's where I first thought "Hey, she's cool". Then I of course, proceeded to collect Robin comics like a madperson and became obsessed with Steph, but you probably guessed that. So I have an affection for Lewis's run. His plots may have been....really out there, especially for a Robin comic, which should be more focused on street level Gotham-y crime, but I absolutely adore his characterization. Focusing on Steph, he wrote her as a smart, strong young woman. He wrote a Steph who had matured and learned from her experiences, without sacrificing the spunk and spark that made her so endearing. He had her develop and grow. And as for Tim and Steph's relationship, he dispensed with Dixon's method of creating conflict by having one or both of them act like jerks. He wrote a (relatively) healthy relationship between two kids who obviously really cared about each other, and had the conflict come in and organic and natural way, maintaining the interest without making the characters look like asses. So, complain to me about the sci-fi plots all ya want, but it's his adorably geeky Tim and smart, spunky Steph that win me over. Now, onto his first arc (the first few pages are actually Dixon, he and Lewis split writing duties on Robin 100) which is 100-105.

05:01 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 5- Do you know my boyfriend's real name? Robin #80, #84, #87, #92, #93, #94, #98 and #99! With 2 never before seen scans! The era of Stephness we enter now is post No Man's land Robin. The situation is thus- Steph's mom found her Spoiler costume and forbade her from vigilante activities. Steph, naturally didn't listen. Tim has been moved to a private boarding school called Brentwood by his father thanks to his constant disappearing acts, making it harder to do the Robin thing and spend time with Steph. It's also growing harder for him to keep his identity from her. We also have Pete Woods on art, and he is awesome. He draws my favorite Tim and Steph. I love especially how he gives Steph a believable body type for an athletic teen girl- fit and pretty, but no huge knockers or sexay!ness or any of that. And his Tim is so adorable and fun. ( Open sesame! ) Tags: char: batgirl/cassandra cain, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: cluemaster/arthur brown, char: riddler/edward nigma, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: spoiler/robin/batgirl/steph brown, creator: chuck dixon, creator: pete woods, in-joke: herodickery, publisher: dc comics, series: super steph series, title: robin (35 comments \| Leave a comment)
