Wowee! Wasn't too sure after I saw the Star wars pix, but the stuff just got better the further down I went! And the Flash you don't like? Aside from a case of "goofy-foot" he's perfect!

Kamonki! Love it! ;D
Great Bat-cover too -- I think your coloring technique is awesome. Personally, I'm unsure about computer-coloring my stuff, but maybe I'll give it a go.

Always liked the loincloth/flag bottoms...show some skin on WW and the guys will beat down the door! ;D
Thanks for the info -- done something similar on another board -- got the sitespace, now I just gotta get the pix!

Gonna have to wait on my doodles, guys. I'll go though my files, but I don't think I have anything appropriate -- most of my drawings are things I'm working on for my book, so it wouldn't make sense out fo context. When I get something, I'll toss it up.
Say, how do we do that, anywho? Do we load to the site, or link from webspace?

My first post! Please, be gentle... ;D
Great work, monkey-boy. I love your shading work, good depth. I agree with making this style the "official" standard -- easy for multiple artists to replicate.
Oh man, I'm gonna have ot break out the paper and pens, I've gotta try and top you guys...

Good work! It seems like you've resolved the "Who is Wonder Woman" situation rather qucikly -- Zenobia may still be running aobut, but Diana's back on the job -- but you've got a few other questions to answer still, like who Little Miss Black Lipstick is (I've got a theory, but I can't say...cat's got my tongue ). Where oh where is the story headed next?

You've got my attention, Sam. I said before that I'm not that big on WW, but what you're presenting here has me intrigued -- has Diana been set up, or has the stress caused a bit of a mental fracture? And you crippled Steve! Honestly, I thought he was dead after the Annual, so his presence alone was a surprise. And the cover looks better every time I see it!

Things are getting weird, but I'll stick with it.
Y'know, now that Diana's wearing glasses as a disguise, she can do that whole "whip off the glasses and suddenly become sexy" thing like they show in the movies. ;D

Well, Sam, I said I'd read it, and I did. I'm not a WW fan, so I'll reserve my judgement for storytelling alone. You write very well, with some great descriptions in there, though some of your scene transions were jarring (we go from Diana callenging Zenobia to Di and her new husband having an intimate moment in the blink of an eye). Nevertheless, I'll stick around for a few issues to see where you're going with this.

So here I am, still catching my breath from the last Crisis installment, when you throw ANOTHER big battle at me! And trash the Batcave even MORE! I tell ya, Bruce is just gonna have to fill in that hole and start over, it'll be easier that way. ;D Though this was, as David put it, "proto-Justice League", I liked how WW became the focus by the simple fact that the Lasso of Truth can resist Darkseid. Not something I would have ever thought of...I mean, we're talking freakin' DARKSEID here! As the title says, "Darkseid Is!" And next week, we finally get our Justice League. I look forward to it!

First off, when I read the title "Tainted Blood", I immediately started hearing a twisted version of Soft Cell's classic 80's song "Tainted Love" in my head. Oh boy, the spit's hitting the fan around here: Bat girlwoman has blown a microchip, half the team's been captured by the Church of Blood, and we find out that people named Charlton can't be trusted (kidding, David!). It's always a fun time in Las Vegas, baby! On a side note, though I'm a very lapsed Catholic, I believe what Plastic Man found would have been the sacremental wine, not sacrificial wine. However, if he'd found a room full of lambs and/or goats, those might have been sacrificial. ;D

Good stuff. I'm curious to find out about these new guys in the red robes...as if Vegas didn't have enough crazies running around!

If not for the sodomy thing, this would've gotten five stars. Yes, Munch deserved it, but I didn't wanna watch it! Grace is wonderfully suited for this series, and her responses to Kate doing a header into her car were priceless. I also like how our "new" New Outsiders are coming together in the same slapdash fashion as the original group. It seems to fit the team.

Man, this is turning into "New Outsiders Disassembled" around here! Two members dead, a couple just up and left, the rest kidnapped...all thanks to a bald guy named Brian!
Of course, we all know you're not THAT Brian, 'cause you're not writing fifty flippin' titles a month. That makes you a thousand times better than the other mope.
Combos! (another cheese-filled snack) ;D

Man, I knew the breakup was coming, but it was still a shock. And Zatanna lately is scaring me.

Snapper freaking Carr? There's a name I never expected to see, anywhere!
Good stuff, fits in perfectly after the Justice League isue. I wasn't too surprised by Babs' reaction, though I was surprised she didn't contact Batman and say "WTF?" You tied in a whole lotta plotlines here (like the Question's "last stand" a few months back) in a cohesive manner and made it all work well...and Grace was a good surprise too! I'm with Babs, I thought for sure that was Roy.
My only objection is talking about these identical super-soldiers but NOT saying who they resembled. C'mon, man, do we got a bunch of Boba Fetts running around inside Cadmus or what?

"Three sheets to the wind"? Oy vey. Good issue, very tongue-in-cheek. A nice break from all the downer issues we've had lately, for sure (not that I want a yuk-fest all the time, mind you...) And I'm noticing a trend lately in the various titles, with Cadmus and shadowy figures popping up a lot. Hmm... Be well, Brian!

No words to say that haven't been covered in the other posts. Except... Rest in peace, Adrian. You will be missed.

After last issue, I think this was the only way you could go: give the team (and the reader) a bit of a breather before we plunge into madness again. Every little vignette came off great, and the addition of Kate Spenser proves interesting. and I'm looking forward to that promised Zatanna mini!

I have some ideas in mind, Bo, but they're so far down the line, I can't tell you...no, wait, I could use you for...hmm, I'll drop you a note! Yes, Brian, I do care. You write great, and I know you want feedback, so I gave you something that I wasn't even sure you wanted to hear. But I felt that I should say something, especially because no one else had, and a writer can't improve on postive feedback alone -- all those pats on the back do make you feel good, but I personally like to know when I made a mistake. So here's a pat on the back for showcasing Zee's new bad-assness, and a flick on the earlobe for making Dinah look like a whiny chump! ;D

That cover was breathtaking. Hats off to you, Borize! Great issue, you wrapped up all the dangling plotlines nicely. Honestly, I thought the faux Dinah was Tamara...shows what I know! And Adrian's caught on tape! Oh man, this isn't going to end well! My only complaint is what you did with Dinah near the end of the battle: you've made this big deal for months now about how Desaad changed her, she's not really human anymore, blah blah blah...then fix it all by having Zee waggle her fingers. What was the point of all that, other than setting up to be sure that you could "kill" her without causing permanent damage?

I'm just happy Zee's alive...although with the situation she appears to be in, that might not be an improvement. Pleeeeze get her rescued as soon as possible!

I had to read the scene with the REAL Dinah on the plane twice, it took me by such surprise! And watch out, Zee's got a bunny and she ain't afraid to use it! ;D Great twists, great surprises, and Adrian kissed Vic! What more could you ask for in a story?

Very good cover work, Roy! All the gals looked extra-pretty for the party. Heck, even Adrian appeared to be enjoying himself! ;D The Red Tornado thing did seemed rushed, but what stuck out most for me (and no one has mentioned so far) is that Zatanna is nowhere to be found! I know it's been a year, and things change, but where'd she go? And does her absence have anything to do with her long-lost daddy?

If Dinah makes it out of this alive, I'll be shocked... My God, you never let up! From that first horrific image with the baby to the last of Barbara's costume (which is a great redesign BTW) covered in blood, you gave us a story that most certainly couldn't have been done in the other books -- the Mature Readers password is most definitely needed here! I am honestly afrraid of what's going to happen to the NO...will there even be and issue #11?
