The Secret Huntress Fan Club! (DC Comics: The New 52)

Not one of you have mentioned the pouches. Not. One. You know how much pride he takes in those.

Werewolf2000ad

Of all Liefelds artistic quirks, that sword handles thing has to be the strangest. He puts them on everybody.

Gaslight

He is already holding one sword, and appears to have two more on his back. Why does he need three swords? Does he hold one in his mouth like that guy from One Piece? Does he switch between a single-sword or dual-wielding style as the situation calls for it or mood strikes him?

Arivia

They're katanas, duuuuh. They're for jobs no Western sword can do.

Liefeld sure loves drawing what he thinks are sword handles on peoples' backs, but they're always too tiny and you never see the rest of the swords

And sometimes other artists don't know that they're supposed to be swords. Or giant rectangular guns, as the case may be.



That said, I think that Deathstroke actually isn't bad. There's a stiffness to it, that gun looks like the slide's supposed to be going back and isn't, and his leg looks really short, but the inking and coloring do a pretty admirable job of trying to save the pencils.

Arivia

It's hilarious to see Generic Liefeld Man next to Reed and Banshee. Poor Reed.

Are those just handles sprouting from his shoulders?

Munch

Yup. The artist couldn't tell that Cable's ridiculous guns were supposed to be guns, and interpreted them as some kind of shoulder accessory.

Maybe he thought they were exhaust pipes.

Werewolf2000ad

Do you know what issue that's from? That might just be the most absurd thing I've ever seen in a comic book. HOW did that get printed? Wasn't there anyone at any stage of the creative/editorial process who said "um, actually..."?

And yes, the actual Deathstroke figure on that cover isn't half bad, for Liefeld.

Robos A Go Go

The silver ribbing is similar to his arm, so he probably thought that they were protrusions from his body.

DouglasDanger

That Deathstroke is awful, guys.

Someone posted it on another comics forum first, so I can't be sure.

But, going off that editor's note box, it was part of the Days of Future Present story, which included New Mutants Annual #6, guest starring the Fantastic Four. So, that'd be my best guess.

Tairu

I am so excited for Dial H.
So very, very excited.

I like to think they are exhaust pipes. His costume is so rectangular, he looks like some kind of semi tractor trailer man.

Are they releasing a trade of that huntress miniseries?

I can't imagine they won't.

It is DC though, so they will release it thirteen months from next Tuesday and it will be missing something important and there will be a bonus feature of two or three coloring errors or flipped panels.

Blankzilla

Swamp Thing's new look

Antimatter

not digging the antlers

Futt Bucker

I wonder if that's going to be permanent or just because those are the plants in the area he's in.

Crimsondude

Hm. Well, Francesco Francavilla is going to be drawing issue ten. And he doesn't have them in that cover.

Blankzilla

That probably isn't the actual cover

Francavilla loves to draw poster-style stuff for fun

and DC made a big deal about this being Swamp Thing's BRAND NEW LOOK so it is the real deal

Crimsondude

Well, it could also be a flashback scene since the arc is The Return of Arcane.

herojoe

The antlers would make sense if Jeff Lemire was writing it.

Also Francavilla needs to draw every issue of everything.

Linespider5

I like the antlers, but the generic fangtooth crown? And what's with the ascending V-pattern arcing up his torso?

It's like they want to make Swamp-Thing part dragon.

There's hardly any 'plant' on him now.

he's got some bite in him

Agreed.

TexiKen

Swamp Thing had wings last issue, if he starts pulling a Hawkman where he has nth metal green power, well, I look forward to Rob Liefield taking over the book in 6 months.

This is why I come here.

Antimatter

i'll be here all week! tip your waitress

Munch

I wish the antlers looked more like tree limbs. They're not spindly enough.

Other than that, it looks like Swamp Thing Classic, except with more noodling lines and arrows pointing at his crotch.

But, I think Swamp Thing's actually one character who can be covered in all kinds of details and lines, without looking "wrong." Of course, when I was a kid, I had the full line of Swamp Thing action figures, including this guy:



So, to my mind, he's pretty malleable.

Robos A Go Go

I figure that he can just grow whatever appendages he happens to want at a given moment, which should allow an artist to go in a variety of directions.

I thought that

Spoiler:

the wings from the most recent issue were cool, but obviously they aren't a permanent thing.

TexiKen

Power Girl's World's Finest #1 costume:



And apparently the revised PG costume, with a more apparent "P" on the front left:



a better Perez image below for WF #2

Spoiler:

Gaslight

Bad to worse.

UltimateInferno

hardcore mom hair

TexiKen

I like the new costume compared to the old new costume, the racing stripes on the side work better, and having the costume cover the arms looks better than wearing the golden arm guards. I think it's the addition of blue that I like.

pretty much

poor kara

Blankzilla

Parts of it are better than the old one

but both are not very good and her hair/face are terrible in the new one

Arivia

Honestly that middle Perez image makes me vomit and I just want him to go away
