I find this totally hypnotic.
And I miss the days when he was all over everything.
Why the last-minute butt cleavage? I’m way more interested in the front of her costume than of the back.
Looking at this, though, I realise that I was never that accurate drawing her—not if those panty lines are accurate. I drew a flatter, more modest (ha!) leg than second from the right. Definitely her bodice, too. I ignored most of the times it looked like a bird. I am clearly a Perez fangirl through and through.
It’s kind of a shame that it’s so iconic that it shrugs off attempts to update it, but then again—iconic. I will go with that, in this scenario (I’m kind of a sucker for Ororo’s first costume, but at least there is her second costume as balm on the sting).
I’m bouncing from site to site to cite the image, and I’m encountering some inexplicable stuff. For instance, inasmuch as I too do not like the outfit far left, this makes no sense:
The 60’s were not a good time in fashion history. It was a time of bell-bottoms and disco. Even our Amazonian goddess wasn’t impervious to its effects. In 1968 Wonder Woman issue #178 had Diana Prince go Mod. She wore a variety of “hip” clothing. That’s right go-go boots, jumpers, mini skirts, shift dresses, rain trench coats and the superhero classic, tights.
Children these days, I swear. Do they not understand the allure of vintage? Is there no eBay where they live?

Wonder Woman 1945 by Juan Carlos Ruiz
Whose bike is that? Had Wondie been riding it? If so, was she barefoot and wearing that helmet over her tiara? Is she wearing sweatbands under her cuffs? Man, I like the gold toned cuffs the best…

So I just had to join in on the Hawkeye Initiative bandwagon, it’s just so… full of empowerment.
And then I went totally overboard.
Even gave them suggestive captions.
I feel like a predator drawing this.
(but Tony’s face! <3!)Avengers Assemble!… for SEXINESS.
Tony’s pose and expression rule my world forever!!
I found myself watching the animation one more time because I realise that just focussing on Tony’s treasure trail meant I didn’t know if Steve had one too, and how could I go to sleep with that unanswered?
What the hell is wrong with Nick Bradshaw’s art? (I’m giving Paul Smith a nostalgia-plus-Kitty-is-cool pass, so fuck off)

Man„ I don’t get Kelley Jones. I’m wondering if this turns out like previous Sienkewickz, where I hate him at the time then has a sudden epiphany, and boom! It’s all glorious, and I need to go back and read New Mutants, and it’s even better, and Warlock is amazing, and must have had such fun with Legion, and Magma, and the Demon Bear…Just whoa.
Of course I don’t have them anymore—storage in New Orlleans, little rainfall called Katrina, and that was about the lowest profile stuff of uninsure property sitting in a warehose—not my brightest moment.
What am I doing wrong?
Wow. I’m having a good time reading old threads from comic book forums, and making notes on artists I like so I can get back into something I’ve drifted a ways away from. By and large, the suggestions are good, and the criticisms pretty valid. Except…this…how is this in the good column?
I’m trying to pin down the issue with her right arm—is it a proportion issue, or is it perspective? It doesn’t look like it will match up with her left. Her torso is typically too small for organs, but hey…let’s let that one slide. Head too small for her height. Shoulders close to her aforementioned head…wow, those are some perky boobies, in a clearly spray-painted costume. But why are they pointing in opposite directions like that?
Are the bandoliers ammo for her sword? What’s her quick draw action like, with them wrapped around it like that? She should probably get a scabbard for that knife. Someone could get hurt, and we wouldn’t like that. And, last time I checked, people’s feet are approximately the length of their forearm, from wrist to inner elbow (try it! it’s fun). Maybe that explains her right arm!!
Thank you, Michael Turner. That was fun.
Man, I remember the first time I read this. I *hated* the art. Despised it. I wanted people to look like people, and hears to look like bears.
I’m not sure what the epiphany was…I suspect it had something to do with Elektra. But, good god, did going back and looking with new eyes ever reward me. He’s now firmly up there with my favourites. Even if I still can’t spell his name.
So, here’s a perfect example of “needs more ‘splaining” composing. And not in a sexist sense. But what’s going on either in the space between me and Spidey, or behind me, that means that it is credible for front views of everyone in the scene? And, hey, nice Parker crotch action, but maybe it wasn’t an issue for Mary Jane that their relationship was dissolved, because it’s clear that there’s nothing in his pocket, and he’s not glad to see anyone. How disappointing…is that a spider thing?
And, Natasha, sweetie (I can call you sweetie, right?), what can you actually see? Is Hulk a rightie? Because it might be important to be able to see that coming as soon as possible.
Wow. These two pieces by Frank Cho are pretty eyecatching
Oh, honey. Theoretically I’m not so much interested in either of these guys’ comics (or one of their films) but if they’re like this some of the time…hand them to me with a cuppa and some really soft tissues. But not the lotion kind. They’re kinda slimy.

But if I don’t know what comic they come from, how can I partake of the bantery goodness myself? Off to google reverse image search, I guess.
JLA #4…bingo!
