The Flash #217
Nov. 19th, 2009 05:43 pmI can't believe I've never posted this before. It's only my favourite scene.
( I let you touch me... )
There, that's better.

Flash: Rebirth #5
Nov. 19th, 2009 02:28 amThis issue makes me want to take back everything I ever bitched about with this mini. I had a sneaking suspicion that would happen, but seriously. I guess I can't feel bad for not having outthunk an evil speedster. (Or Geoff Johns, but, you know.) And why they upgraded it to 6 issues instead of 5 becomes so very obvious.
I enjoyed the fuck out of this issue. Those in my life that have listened to me sitting in a passenger seat ranting about this series may be very surprised by this information.
It doesn't hurt that I really, really love speedster fights, and this one was epic.
( Impulse? )
Seriously, evil speedsters are the worst. They don't just fight you. They go after everything you love and destroy it. Because they're that evil.

Y: The Last Man
Nov. 16th, 2009 01:58 amTo break my new-post on this journal virginity, a few snippets from one of my favourite comic runs, Y: The Last Man published by Vertigo. The premise is simple; every male mammal on earth is wiped out. Except for a young man named Yorick and his pet monkey Ampersand. Chaos ensues while Yorick sets out on a journey to find his girlfriend and help find a way to save the human race. And it's amazing.
I don't want to spoil any plot, so here I won't be offering commentary. If you haven't read it already, I just hope this urges you to give it a try.
( Beware of Knitting Needles )
I love that last one; it's from this scene where the nun really does come off a bit loopy until she lays down a line of logic difficult to argue with. I think, anyway.

Diana, Pirate Captain
Oct. 6th, 2009 06:14 amSo, from Justice League of America 80-Page Giant #1 that's come out so recently, I was delighted to find not only time-travel hijinks with our heroes, but... Steel and Wonder Woman ending up in the most fabulous of time and space locales; a pirate ship back in the day. Like something straight out of my fic, Diana is a pirate captain aiding the downtrodden and accidentally winding up chained up in the hold happens. It starts with an angry John Irons in irons and yes, that made me laugh, because I'm silly.
The art has some iffy moments, but we can only get to those if we continue...
( Onward! )
Now I'm real curious as to who that guy is. Why did he float off on wreckage? Did Diana's running straight for a fight with Starro get all her other crewmembers killed? Why isn't this addressed? Gah.
Uh, yeah, so, definitely not the best art or story going on in this issue, but it's relevant to my interests, so there you go.

The Saga of Itty
Jul. 26th, 2009 05:16 amThis is one of those huge chock-full-o images posts, so dial-up beware! Is anyone still on dial-up? I know I was, and it was.. traumatic. Just... awful. So if you are, I feel your pain, I know the torment of wanting to watch a YouTube video and needing to let it load for upwards of a half-hour if I was lucky enough not to get booted in the meantime. Anyway!
Cuteness! Tentacles! Alien sex! Hal intentionally crashing into a tree! Homoerotic tension with Ollie! Homoerotic tension with Barry! Hal in chains! Hal as a giant! It's all here, and more, in the more-or-less complete story of Hal's little buddy Itty. What is Itty, do you ask? He's one of the Ayries. They look like this:
If you're like me, you may have read through a comic here or there with a starfish-looking flower-thing on Hal's shoulder.. he'd talk to it and I'd wonder wtf without really getting much of an answer, the moment would pass, and I'd forget about the little guy until the next time it happened. But no longer! I am well and truly smitten with this little guy... who for like, over a decade, didn't even have any lines.
( Wanna ride? Zooom! )
Squee! Cuet! Love! And all that. Just... a great end for that whole thing. It's funny, I really like the character and all, but I don't feel that big need to see him pop back up again. Would that be super-neat? Oh sure. But sometimes, the end is just so good that it leaves you with just that right feeling of closure. The giant alien angle is an odd one, sure, but I enjoyed what they did with it, for the most part. And having a good time with something is really the point, isn't it?

Jester Sinestro
Jul. 25th, 2009 03:07 pmSo I've been reading some old Green Lantern books. I've unearthed the shocking truth of what Guy Gardner was like before Hal bumbled into his life, but right now, I have something else to share with you all; behold, the lowest point of Sinestro's life.
I just got Sinestro Corps War, Vol. 1. When I re-read it, I will think of this moment.
