09:02 am [icon_uk] [Link]	Yay! They're here! :) Saturday sketchcard fun I've been saving this for the weekend as I think it's the sort of fun thing that seems suited to a Saturday morning over a nice cup of tea (or beverage of choice). I've just received some new commissioned sketchcards, and I just had to share them (And I've been dying to use this icon too!) ( Click for fun and cuteness! ) Tags: char: cypher/doug ramsey, char: elongated man/ralph dibny, char: nightcrawler/kurt wagner, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, char: warlock, creator: sonny strait (13 comments \| Leave a comment)

09:35 pm [proteus_lives] [Link]	Doug Ramsey and Betsy Braddock: So Wrong yet So Right. Greetings True Believers! In my last Doug Ramsey post I showed you his tragic end. In this post, let's visit one of his greatest triumphs. When he met, saved and perhaps won the heart of Betsy Braddock a.k.a Psylocke. Some backstory is required. At one point Betsy assumed the mantle of Captain Britain and was blinded by Slaymaster (One of her brother's old foes) She's blind but uses her telepathy to get around. In prologue (set a year in the past) she's hitting the slopes in Switzerland when she's kidnapped by Mojo and Spiral.....Enjoy! (The art is wonderful.)

09:52 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	Why Doug Ramsey Was Awesome Pt 2 Since proteus_lives is planning to post NM Annual #2 as part of his Cypher posts before too long, I'd better pre-emptively post NM Annual #1, because of it's particular relevance to Doug! :) When last we left Doug Ramsey, he'd just been woken up in the middle of the night by Cannonball flying in through his bedroom window to be told that he was a mutant, and taken to the X-Mansion to help the New Mutants establish meaningful dialogue with a disoriented and dangerous Warlock, which he did, which is impressive. ( What could he do to top that, you ask? ) Tags: char: cannonball/sam guthrie, char: cypher/doug ramsey, char: lila cheney, char: magik/ilyanna rasputin, char: magma/amara aquilla, char: sunspot/roberto da costa, char: warlock, char: wolfsbane/rahne sinclair, creator: bob mcleod, creator: chris claremont, group: new mutants, publisher: marvel comics, series: why doug ramsey was awesome, title: new mutants (5 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:59 am [proteus_lives] [Link]	The Death of Doug Ramsey Greetings True Believers! I saw several New X-Men posts and it got me thinking about the original crew of muties, The New Mutants. Aside from a few holes, I own pretty much all of the original 100 issue run of NM. To this day it's one of my favorite comic series. Serious, funny, heart-breaking, great characters. In an era where the phrase "Protecting a world that fears and hates them." really meant something. New Mutants was Buffy before Buffy. Outcasts, nerds, jocks, pagans, farmboys, casanovas, mean teachers, evil adults, the agonies of growing up. All while being mutants who occasionally have to save the world and live up to the mantles of those who came before them. This post is from the TPB, Fall of the Mutants. An X-Crossover (Back when crossovers were still a new/clever idea.) It concerns the death of one of the New Mutants. A boy named Doug Ramsey. His code name was Cypher and his power was Omnilingualism, meaning he could translate any language spoken, written or on a computer. Weird huh? His death was controversial. He was apparently one of those character you either loved or hated. (He's also one of the few MU characters that has never returned from the dead. So his death still has some impact.) What did you think of Doug Ramsey?

11:24 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	Continuing my "Reprints from the old S_D, just for the heck of it" To prove that my life does not revolve completely around finding new images of Dick Grayson in assorted bondage peril, I present this manga selection for you... ( A brief intro to Saint Seiya )* ( Pegasus Seiya ) ( Draco Shiryu ) ( Cygnus Hyoga ) ( Andromeda Shun ) ( Phoenix Ikki ) ( Examples of the cloths switching from representational form to armour ) ( Dhoko Libra ) ( Ophichius Shaina ) ( Chameleonis June ) Later in the series we meet some of Poseidon's General's who each wear their own armours, the Mariner Scales ( Thetis the Mermaid ) ( Sorento the Siren ) ( Io of Scylla ) * Oh, okay, you twisted my arm! :) And these are the other reasons for re-posting this particular post.... ( Fun with sketchcards... possibly slightly NSFW ) Tags: char: cypher/doug ramsey, char: poison ivy/pamela isley, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, char: warlock, creator: masami kurumada, in-joke: bondage, title: saint seiya (17 comments \| Leave a comment)
