Today's moment of feminism brought to you by Big Barda, Scott Free, and Jack Kirby.

[seriousfic]

Don't shoot Big Barda in the head with a ray-gun. It will just make her mad.



It's not a party until Barda is spinning two mooks around in mid-air. While wearing a skirt.

Also, Scott Free is so well-trained that he can dodge bullets at point-blank range, much like Cassandra Cain (I would say it's a sort of Zen meditative thing, where he can focus on escaping to the exclusion of all else and thus pick a lock, crack a safe, and construct a crude parachute in the time it takes for a normal guy to say "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, I'M GONNA DIE!"). But mostly Barda kicking ass in a skirt.

Hey, I liked his American Dream! Though half of that was the beautiful Todd Nauck art, but still...

Also, I don't dislike Morrison! He's a bit overrated, but he's not bad! So there!

After your soul has been consumed away by the vacuity of J2, they give you Power Pachyderms. Theat's when you want to cry, but you no longer have tears.

Ah, for that you only get purgatory. They have some Chuck Dixons there, unless you misbehave cause they give you Scott Beatty instead.

I'm willing to be convinced that he's good by Final Crisis and RIP? Depending on how they go?

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

Although I enjoyed Final Crisis 4, and I am enjoying RIP, they are not the best things he has done. The storytelling is obtuse in the first three FC issues, and I like the fourth because it has the best Ollie I have read in years.

Seven Soldiers has better art to begin with and more comic booky range, and it's available as four nice trades. And everybody loves Animal Man.

I've read some Seven Soldiers. The bit with the crossdressing knight. It was fun!

Animal Man? You mean PETA: The Superhero?

[cissie-king.livejournal.com]

Only the first four issues are PETA-FORCE, after that even Morrison gets bored with the idea and it becomes the closest thing we'll ever get to Borges writing DC comics.

DID I MENTION MY DOG DIED? MY DOG IS DEAD AND I MISS HIM! ISN'T THAT PROFOUND?
