11:16 pm [arbre_rieur] [Link]	The Metal Men second feature People have posted from issues of the new Doom Patrol series, and it's good stuff, but so far we've all been neglecting the Metal Man second feature. That's unfortunate because it's also good stuff. It's Giffen/DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire doing superhero humor. C'mon, there are two or three fans of that sort of thing in these parts, right? ( 3.3 pages of the Metal Men, 2 pages of the Doom Patrol ) Tags: creator: keith giffen, creator: kevin maguire, group: doom patrol, group: metal men, publisher: dc comics, title: doom patrol (33 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:29 am [pyrotwilight] [Link]	Meet the Power Company! Sapphire and Josiah Power Edition. And here the last two introduction issues of Kurt Busiek's Power Company series.

08:22 am [thebigapricot] [Link]	Huntress is Awesome Week: Huntress Joins the JLA Someone posted a line here once about Huntress that cracked me up (please claim it if it's yours) "She's so crazy, she's Batman's Batman." Crazy Huntress is an image that's she had (and at times deserved) and still has for those not overly familiar with the character. (i.e. BFTC "The Network") Here's a look at a time in the early part of Helena's career showing just how awesome, competent and uncrazy she could be. From the September 1999 issue of Justice League of America are 7 pages telling how she joined the JLA. ( Some has stolen Barda's Megarod and Helena's on the case ) Tags: char: fire/beatriz da costa, char: huntress/helena bertinelli, char: maxwell lord, creator: j.m. dematteis, creator: keith giffen, series: huntress is awesome week, title: justice league of america (23 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:29 pm [goblinthebamf] [Link]	killer penguins: a proud JLA tradition So, recently maslego posted a battle from Blue Beetle where Jaime and Guy fight a flock of killer penguins. but this isn't actually the first time in the modern era where the JLA went up against these deadly swarming nightmares of the Antarctic. ( 11 Pages under cut ) Tags: creator: j.m. dematteis, creator: keith giffen, creator: mike mckone, theme: animals, theme: penguins, title: justice league of america (16 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:17 am [geoffsebesta] [Link]	Legion of Super-Giffen, Prologue III But Keith Giffen left the book. They say it was the poster that did him in. This poster: http://unnecessaryg.com/lsh/GiffenPoster2083x755.jpg Ah yes. The famous compositional style, unique to 80s DC, of people randomly standing around in the air wonder why nobody does that anymore. Keith Giffen, I adore Keith Giffen. His career is filled with brilliant ideas that don't work. He's tried everything. Most none of it works. BUT HE DID IT! He was "co-plotter and designer" for issues #3-#5. That probably means he did breakdowns. He was assisted by Steve Lightle, who draws great robots and weird faces. Inked by Mahlstedt, whose work here raises the eternal question, ( Why doesn't the inker just redraw stuff that doesn't work? ) Tags: creator: keith giffen, creator: larry mahlstedt, creator: steve lightle, publisher: dc comics, theme: panel layout, title: legion of super-heroes (19 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:02 pm [geoffsebesta] [Link]	Legion of Super-Giffen, Prologue II First, I would like to apologize. I am absolutely humbled by the depth of Legion knowledge that I've seen on this board. Never expected that. Ya gotta admit pre-Zero Hour LSH continuity is a little obscure at this point. So, yeah, there are people here who know their Legion. That said, I still don't feel like exhaustively explaining every little thing in the art below -- that's a lot of typing. Giffen's LSH is the densest storytelling this side of the Silver Age. No, I just want us to look at the pictures right now. We'll get to the themes later. So once again I present you with the art of Keith Giffen, ( as expressed in early 80s superhero work with a heavy and in-my-mind-completely-laudable Muñoz influence. ) Tags: creator: keith giffen, creator: larry mahlstedt, creator: paul levitz, group: legion of super-heroes, title: legion of super-heroes (35 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:18 am [geoffsebesta] [Link]	Legion of Super-Giffen; Prologue 1 LSHv3#1 Welcome to the Legion of Super-Heroes. This is the real stuff, not that watered-down second/thirdhand tripe they feed you kids these days. You're not going to understand it. Right now, it's enough to just look at it. We'll figure it out as we go along. Pretend you're twelve years old. ( In my day they made you learn new languages just to understand the splash page ) Tags: creator: keith giffen, creator: larry mahlstedt, creator: paul levitz, group: legion of super-heroes, title: legion of super-heroes (58 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:51 pm [thanekos] [Link]	The other time Mon-El inspired a supervillain okay, so this one's Valor, but still. ( Basically, the Great Darkness Saga isn't the only time he inadvertently gave a mind-dominating dark fellow an idea... ) Current Music: Instruments=awesome.
