When Matt met Luke: Marvel Knights #11 [07 Nov 2009|11:32am] scans_daily [kusonaga] So, last time I was here I posted some pages from the 2000 series Marvel Knights, a fun little exercise into street level team-building, featuring Daredevil assembling a team to take down the Punisher and for about fifteen issues, taking on various threats of a superpowered kind. The team was originally just Daredevil, Black Widow, Shang-Chi and Dagger (from Cloak and Dagger), but the group got an expansion in issue #5 with the inclusion of Moon Knight. The latter thought the team needed some organising (y'know, some actual being a team) and in issue #11, he brought in Luke Cage for some reinforcements. This is a response to starwolf oakley's recent post, featuring Cage's interaction with DD in the pages of Bendis' Daredevil. Scans not mine. Written by Chuck Dixon, drawn by Ed Barreto. 7/22.

Batman, The Joker, Vagrant Story, The Pirates of Dark Water fandom asylums [07 Nov 2009|04:14am] asylum_promo [mugetsu] [ mood | full ] octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed! gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i> vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown. And, Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker. It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans. I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP. I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs. post comment

Granny Goodness wants YOU - For the Female Fury Cadets.... [07 Nov 2009|01:30am] scans_daily [icon_uk] The Karl and Barbara Kesel run on Hawk and Dove was one of my favourite titles back in the 1990's. They oversaw the introduction of Dawn Granger as the second Dove (Who was, to be honest, FAR more interesting than Don Hall had ever been) and created as good a superhero comic as one might hope to find as well. The Kesels are amongst the few people who seems to "get" Jack Kirby characters and concept, Karl in particular used them a lot in things like this title (and Superboy), and in a way that was usually respectful, but expanded on them in ways that Kirby never did, usually because he was already moving on to his NEXT idea. Take the Female Furies, Granny Goodness' elite warriors; Lashina, Stompa, Bernadeth and the marvellously named Mad Harriet. In some way these ladies are a lynchpin of the DCU, an equivalent perhaps to the MU's Wrecking Crew. They're powerful, versatile, each has an awesome visual design, and together form a team which is a good, but not unbeatable, challenge for a new hero team (or single hero if they're powerful enough) to test their mettle and resourcefulness. They also have the advantage of not needing much explanatory motivation "A mission from Darkseid/Granny Goodness" covers a multitude of plot points. And at the same time, they had a static membership for a LOOOONG time. Prior to this story they had only ever added ONE member to the team when John Ostrander introduced the archer Artemiz and her cyber-pack (Technologically enhanced Apokaliptian wolves, NOT exactly cuddly puppies). And then we had this story, from Hawk and Dove 21, with guest art from Steve Erwin, which presents us with a... ( Girls' Night Out ) 7 comments|post comment

Birds of Prey #111 [06 Nov 2009|07:03pm] scans_daily [jarodrussell] I wrote a script this evening that would let anyone, not just admins, backup Scans Daily. After asking myself, "What would Oracle do?" I've decided not to share it with anyone. After all, I wouldn't want to share the ability to backup the SD community until everyone has the ability to back up the SD community. Here's a scan to make this post legal.

Looks kinda like one of them Rube Goldberg contraptions [06 Nov 2009|07:13pm] scans_daily [dr_hermes] Rube Goldberg did not invent the corned beef and Swiss cheese sandwich. (Although many would praise him if he had.) Nope, he was a lifelong cartoonists who created a number of strips (he seems to have come with the "wiseguy answers to stupid questions" before WW I, long before Al Jaffee)and many political commentary panels. But he will be remembered for his infernal contraptions which perform a simple mundane task in a remarkably roundabout and inefficient way. You still see this done in movies, TV and cartoons (PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE had a number of these gags), but they owe their inspiration to Rube Goldberg.

A smorgasbord of Superdictionary silliness. [06 Nov 2009|03:46pm] scans_daily [dizmo] Yeah, have a handful of Superdictionary entries! Always appreciated, I know. I went back through the IJcomm, and I'm pretty sure none of these have been seen on it up to this point, so yes. ( Under the cut are fourteen entries. That is as many as one ten plus four. ) 73 comments|post comment
