    I want to live in a world where Wonder Woman isn't always compared to Superman

    She's fine as she is in her current series, which is all myth and magic, not aliens and space

    plus Wonder Woman shouldn't necessarily be imposing

    she should look strong but not scary because Wonder Woman loves and is the friend of all beings, she's the opposite of someone like Ares who intimidates others into doing what he wants.

    had carol not already gotten a badass new costume i'd say that's a great captain marvel outfit

    but it takes bits from fight pilot and stuntmen outfits, both of which i love so i'd like to see anyone using it

    I'm not entirely sure what this is, but I came across it and

    Iron Man with a symbiote maybe?

    Symbiotes don't usually do extra eyes, do they?
    This looks kind of like an Iron Man/Soulcalibur cross over. Maybe Iron Man vs. Cthulhu, where Stark manages to integrate great old one bio-tech/magic into his suit.
    Alternatively: Stark goes to hell and wakes up in a Spawn comic.

    Two of those three I'd probably read.

    I dunno too much about what symbiotes can and can't do, but in my head they are like a friendlier version of the alien from John Carpenter's the Thing

    or at least that same sort of mass of random flesh vibe

    That's why I love the current wonder woman look. She's very tall, probably taller than superman if Chaing would draw them together and she looks very strong and powerful. But at the same time she still looks very loving and maternal, like one moment she would be kicking the crap out of someone trying to hurt a child and then the next she would be holding and comforting said child.

    Project: Rooftop has a new contest to design a costume for an existing Green Lantern.

    I'm sure people will come up with cool things but it's pretty hard to top the classic Hal Jordan costume. I'd be more interested in trying to come up with something cool for one of the other Lanterns... Kilowog maybe...

    I think Kyle could use a new costume.

    Even though it is pretty 90's I always liked his first costume and don't really think anything else has matched it.

    Bowl cut aside, I think his jacket and boots look actually has circled back around to being cool again, both his bluejean look and his GL uniform.

    Shazam and Black Adam look even sicker there.

    How soon can we go back to the old Mr. Freeze look?

    I think Shazam got one of the best costumes in the reboot.

    It isn't perfect, pointless seams in a lot of places, but the crackling lightning bolt and cloak look fantastic.

    I really like this Green Lantern, by Alejandro Bruzzese.

    qt9EXfF.png

    The slightly abstracted lantern symbol, the way the costume looks sort of crystalline, lightening is it reaches the extremities, except for the ring hand, which is various shades of green.

    I think the costume could be a cool, visual shorthand to show how low the ring is on power, gradually turning lighter, and picking up more cracks and fissures, as he expends energy.

    Only thing I'm not really a fan of, is the mask. It just feels a little at odds with the rest of the costume.

    I quite dig the mask. The whole thing gives me a late sixties counter-culture scifi feel. Like Kubrick's Green Lantern.

    I think a smoother transition in the upper legs would be nice.

    Ramon Villalobos did his take on that costume

    juqzb9p.jpg
    Today the honorable mentions for Project Rooftop’s Green Lantern redesign challenge came out and I am gonna have to pull a Yeezus here and be the guy to say, to those winners, I’m really happy for you and I’m going to let you finish but Alejandro Bruzzese had one of the best Green Lantern redesigns OF ALL TIME.

    Just for reference, here was Alejandro’s explanation that accompanied his design: My take on the GLs is that they get their power from a macroorganism that isn’t even aware they exist. With that in mind I wanted to give them a biological look. The GLs are basically wrapped in a gelatinous layer of large cells. The GL symbol, which is constantly pulsating, is actually a composite nucleus. The cells’ energies are focused through the host species’ tool building appendages, which in humans would be the fingers. The ‘mask’ is actually a breathing apparatus that, in humans, grows out from the nostrils. It extends into the respiratory system and connects to the rest of the ‘suit’ through the pores on the chest.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the sash on Monica. It doesn't strike me as something that really fits her personality.
