And now for the fun stuff

[webbgirl]

After that last post, I wanted to post something that made me a bit happier. So I'm going to share some fun bits of my current obsession. DC comics.

The first page is from "Batgirl" #4. No real context is needed. I just love the panel at the bottom. It made me think of the Batman/Commish Gordon slashers out there. :) The guy Gordon (he's the older one on the right) is talking to is a new detective in Gotham. I think his name is Nick. (Can't remember right now. I'm still reading through the "Batgirl" series.





These next two are from "Red Robin" #9. They are squee making for me because I'm a Kon/Tim shipper (yes they're *slightly* under 18, but they're totally teen boys in love). I love Kon's comment about the chaps. For slight context, Superboy (Kon-El or Connor) has been dead for a year. It's comics, go with me here. He and Tim (Red Robin, formerly Robin) were/are best friends. Tim even tried to make a clone of Connor to get him back. This is the second time they've seen each other since Connor came back to life, but Tim was more than a bit emo the first time (a whole long complicated thing about Batman).

Okay, Kon/Tim are ADORABLE. And I'm totally digging the artwork. Wow.

I know! I love them and this is such a perfect encapsulation of their relationship.

Ramon Bachs did the pencils on this issue and I really like it. I just fell in love with everything in this whole series.

Superboy and Robin are SO CUTE!!!!!! CUTE I SAY.

I know! I wish to smish them. If I had any graphic talents whatsoever I'd make a combined symbol for them like the Superman/Batman one.

ROFL! You realize you make me want to buy Red Robin now. >_

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Eeeexcellent. :)

In full disclosure though, Conner only shows up a couple of times briefly in the run.

I'm definitely a fan. I was thinking of posting a couple of teaser scans from other issues as well. Might give you an idea. :)

Damn. But they are cute. They're like the young Batman and Superman. LOL.

Go for it! I really should start that shopping list I've been meaning to for SDCC.

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

They're totally the younger version, though Tim is usually lighter than Bruce.

I'm heading to bed now, but I'll start putting up scans tomorrow. I'll also see what I can find from some of the earlier Teen Titans. The first few trades of the Geoff Johns run on Teen Titans has quite a bit with the two. I'm just catching up on that title right now though so I can't speak to how well it's being done.

There's also Superman/Batman #26 which I love for many many reasons. :)

I'm so not above pimping here. :D

It's pretty hard to get darker than Bruce.

But with Geoff Johns I don't imagine it being *bad* lol.

which one was that one? I collect Superman/Batman but only in trades, so I don't know which issue is which.

lol. I do the same with Cable & Deadpool.

Great job on the graphics with Red Robin. Haven't seen artwork I liked in comics in a while, all too Manga like, but this works for me. :)

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I'm pretty picky on what I like in comics artwork. There are quite a few of the 'edgy' artists that I'm just not a fan of. I'm definitely a Western fan as opposed to the Manga style.

Every time I think I'm free of DC's sway, it reminds me of how much I love Gotham City's police department. Also, those boys are so very, very cute. ♥

Hey, I'm catching up.

I totally thought of you when I read that panel. It was just too funny.
