02:46 am [kingrockwell] [Link]	One more request: When Kitty met Ororo There was a request about this scene, working from hearsay that Kitty was surprised that Ororo was black. As you'll see, this isn't quite the case. One panel from X-Men (v1) #129, collected in the Dark Phoenix Saga TPB. ( Under the cut! ) Anyone else think we might could do with a tag for filled requests?

01:33 pm [lipsofpoison] [Link]	When Robin Met Superman - Dick, Jason & DCAU!Tim. I think it's been established that there are a lot of Superman fans in the DCU. A lot of people wear the t-shirts, love autographs and generally wanted to be Superman when they grow up. I decided to post this when going through some old issues, I realised that a few of the Robins get thoroughly excited when meeting the man for the first time. These are from Legends of the DC Universe #6 [6], Action Comics #594 [4] and Gotham Adventures #36 [2] ( I think 'Wow' is the keyword here. 12 scans under the cut. ) Tags: char: alfred pennyworth, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: jim gordon, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, char: robin/red hood/jason todd, char: robin/red robin/tim drake, char: superman/clark kent, creator: john byrne, creator: kelley puckett, creator: scott peterson, publisher: dc comics, title: action comics, title: gotham adventures (47 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:50 am [bluefall] [Link]	Adoptive Amazon, part 1 (Introducing Cassie) * Credit to JRhode and arrlaari for the series title. With the Bat-boys gone, the traditional position of Titan Leadership has been left open in both current teams of Titans, and on both teams, the resident Wonder has stepped up to the plate. Now, this certainly makes sense for Donna, who's well-respected by her teammates, has a history of command with the amazons and the Darkstars, and is generally a competent, charismatic person with a high emotional IQ, all good traits for the job. But what about Cassie? If you've been reading TEEN TITANS since she joined the title, you could be excused for thinking that a pet rock would do a better job. Up until very recently, she's been a flat, lifeless superpowered Mean Girl with no real purpose or interest in life outside of chasing boys with status and cutting down everyone else. Even since McKeever had her reject Ares' influence and reinvent herself, she's been becoming tolerant and competent only slowly, and is still mostly a non-entity on the team. But it was not always so! There was a time when she genuinely deserved to wear the double-double, when she was a Wonder Girl in truth and quite a likable character. Let us wander back, then, to those Halcyon days, and meet the girl who earned her symbol as few heroes do. ( Look, she can even pronounce the Prince symbol! If that's not damn impressive I don't know what is. ) Next time: Our new Wonder learns more about her powers, acquires a rogue, and survives a relatively literal trial-by-fire.

05:34 pm [bluefall] [Link]	The Many Faces of Barbara Minerva, part 3 (John Byrne) This is a pretty short chapter, because Byrne spent 90% of his Wonder Woman run on guest stars rather than established Wondy characters. But that, in and of itself, is significant; of all the foes Diana faced during Byrne's run, the only actual currently extant member of her rogues gallery that made his cut was Cheetah (apparently the fans clamored for her). That Byrne would give even three issues to her that he could have spent on fake!Doomsday or Morgaine le Fay or Wally West or Etrigan speaks volumes about her significance. And look, pretty pretty Garcia-Lopez art! ( Warning: This post contains no actual additional Garcia-Lopez art. ) Next up, I do my best to piece together the utter confusion of Jimenez' Sebastian Ballesteros plot. I may have to do a quick Fury rundown first just to get all the context out there. Oh, Jimenez...

09:40 am [volksjager] [Link]	No ! Not the "pocket universe"... As much as I love Earth 3 and the Crime Syndicate , I can really imagine how such a place would function. In my previous post the HBO show "deadwood" was seen as a clue. However, I don't see how you stop thing from getting to this point...

10:17 pm [bluefall] [Link]	When Wondy was Awesome, part 9 (From Hell to Olympus) Time for another author switch! We've left WML behind with the 100-issue spectacular and the death of Artemis, and now Diana's out of the stupid black straptastic bra and out of Boston, and into the hands of John Byrne. Byrne's run is... hard to pin down. The man wrote with an agenda; there were things he wanted to fix and things he wanted to change and that's what he did. And a lot of those things were good. He repaired most of the damage WML did toward the end of his run, both to Diana and, to some degree, to Polly. He built an actual Wonder Family out of Donna and Cassie and Artemis. He made a point of making Diana unique and ridiculously first-tier badass, firmly establishing how high she belonged in the DCU power hierarchy. ( Diana really attracts a lot of writers who do their own art, doesn't she? ) Next time: Diana teams up with Zauriel, has a romance with a guy who, miracle of miracles, is actually worth her time, and saves all of creation. And the art is wicked cool.
