01:15 am [proteus_lives] [Link]	Another WEEK OF DOOM post! Naked Doom vs. Lion. Greetings True Believers! I am sooo excited that people have embraced the WEEK OF DOOM! (Yes, all caps. Love it.) Have you ever asked yourself, "Gee, I wonder if Dr. Doom can kill a lion with his bare hands?" Wonder no more! These scans are from the 2000 DOOM mini-series. It's about Doom's reconquest of Planet Doom (a.k.a Franklin Richard's Counter-Earth.) But this post is mostly about the awesomeness of Doom. Enjoy!

11:00 pm [proteus_lives] [Link]	Storming Paradise Greetings True Believers! Memorial Day had me thinking about one of my favorite series right now. Wildstorm's "Storming Paradise." It's a historical "What-If?" drama. The premise is that the atomic bomb test was a disaster and the Allies had to go through with the invasion of Japan in order to end WWII. It's great because of the level of the what if. The decision to use the atom bomb is still debated today. Was it necessary? Was it justified? What about the other options? (Personally I think it was the best card in a bad hand and the other options were far worse.) This series explores one of those options. The invasion of Japan and how it might have played out. It got me thinking, would the atomic bombing of Japan have played out the same way in the Marvel or DC universe? My question to my fellow S_Der's is this: How would the presence of super-powered beings, magic, aliens, etc. affected this moment in history? Would it have been the same? Would things have been different? Can this question be answered?

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)

05:38 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 13- The Return Stephanie was killed. And forgotten. And all of that. But, thanks to fan uproar, and Chuck Dixon, she eventually returned. And thus, Steph defeated the two greatest foes any comic character ever had: Editorial death sentence, and Women in Refrigerators. Truly, she is a heroine for the ages. Kidding aside, I was lucky enough to be the one who chronicled Steph's return on OSD. I recall many people telling me she wasn't going to come back, that DC was just screwing with us, that they couldn't wait until it was revealed to not really be her, so they could enjoy the Spoiler fans tears. ( Well, they were wrong. ) Tags: char: batman/bruce wayne, char: leslie thompkins, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: spoiler/robin/batgirl/steph brown, creator: chris batista, creator: chuck dixon, publisher: dc comics, series: super steph series, title: robin (38 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.

06:42 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 7- Steph and Cass: Best Friends 4evah I love Steph. I love Cass. And their friendship is my favorite one in comics. They're just very different- Cass is quiet, Steph can't shut up, Cass is super super good at martial arts, Steph is always messing up, Steph clowns around, Cass is serious- and yet the same- they're both very determined, good hearted people, they both have daddy issues, they both don't quite fit in....and they benefit from each other. Steph benefits from Cass's knowledge and training, and Steph teaches Cass about interacting with people, and being a teenage girl. Also, Steph is the only one probably, who wasn't ever afraid or in some way intimidated by Cass's traumatic past. She was able to LAUGH with Cass about it. The two are just so perfect and awesome together. So lets see them being awesome, shall we?

04:07 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 6-The Mini Canary! Now to do an overview of Stephanie's time with the BoP ( I was going to couple it with Cass, but decided to post that seperately...it got too long.) Steph as a member of the BoP was rife with potential ( and bluefall has an awesome fic centering around the ideal in progress). But it was sadly cut short as soon as Dixon left the book. Gail sort of used Charlie as a Steph substitute (heck, she went out of the way to have Babs compare Charlie to Steph) so we see a little of how nifty it could have been. I mean, Steph and Dinah share a similar attitude, they're both postive, snarky independent women to think on their feet. And they are both made of awesome, of course. Meanwhile, Babs sees a lot of her younger Steph (self starter, doesn't care what Batman thinks, ridiculously determined, insinuating herself into what's mainly a "boys club", fun loving, has the hots for a Robin) and it clearly makes her VERY uncomfortable, which is most effectively demonstrated in Joker's Last Laugh when Babs basically flips out at Steph and is like "You take things more seriously, or you will die". (Babs is psychic) And if Steph had more interaction with Huntress- well, two black sheep with criminal families and disdain towards the "no kill" rule- the paralells are gold, and that Cataclysm thing only brushed the surface of that potential.

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.

07:06 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 4- The Robin 80 page giant! Now for the Robin 80 page giant! It's a very Steph-centric little tale, and in it we see her first meeting and team up with Black Canary (and Wildcat) Lots of nice moments, but bleh art, and an important milestone for Steph and Tim. Basically, this takes place when Tim's stepmom, Dana and Dad, Jack are getting ready to get married.

05:50 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Hey there! Hi guys, glad to see this place all settled. I wanted to post the Gotham Gazette scans, but I had trouble joining, so superfan beat me to it. Instead,I'll post some scans that popped up on my Steph wiki recently. A user called LevralMrX, France's (perhaps) only Spoiler fan contributed. It is rare when someone other than me contributes to the wiki (k9feline, scottyquick and stephsvoice have all made rather valuable contributions) so I was very pleased. What doubly pleased me is I did not own the issue these scans are from. It's Robin #15, one of the only comics with Steph I do not own. (It's down to Robin #40, that, and a couple Robin NML tie ins. I'm getting them on my next big order. Oh, and JLA Welcome to the Working Week) Also, I'm linking some very awesome Spoiler live action youtube vids by Stephsvoice. It is an AMAZING costume, people, and in the last few vids, a really enjoyable storyline appears to be starting. ( Two scans from Robin #15, and live action Spoiler adventures! ) Also, does anyone want me to repost my Super Steph Upload? I'd be willing.
