Okay so this is totally Helen’s fault. She was telling me about the idea of “My pet the alien scarab” where it’s like a show about Jaime and Khaji Da (obviously) and we could have Ted and Micheal be the crazy uncles, Guy as a neighbor who boasts all the time but gives precious life advice in private and who has feelings for the other neighbor Tora, and of course Jaime’s already kick ass family/friends. And it was perf
AND I’LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE MORE BECAUSE I GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH BABY JAIME AND MILAGRO. AND I NEED TO DRAW MICHEAL, TED, GUY, AND TORA, AS WELL AS PACO, BRENDA, AND TRACI. I JUST HAVE THIS MIGHTY NEED.

SO I will be attending/viewing an online gender through comics class, that should hold many interesting discussions. I’m really looking forward to this, and will hopefully learn something I can put towards my future projects.
You can also take the class with me, FOR FREE.Learn more about the class and signup: HERE
Ooh! I am also signed up for this!
Do you know what I like the most here? They’re women and they ARE NOT wearing super sexualized leather clothes or posing in impossible ways.
And, of course, the Captain America 40’s hair.
this is perfect.
THIS is how you do genderbends. There is NO reason to sexualize their costumes or their poses unless you’re going for a porn thing (perfectly acceptable). The only costume that’s really been changed at all is Bruce’s and all they’ve really done is exchanged the pants for a pencil skirt. Not a mini-skirt. A pencil skirt.
Also the fact that Nat’s costume is completely unchanged on the male version just goes to show how little the original is sexualized, despite what people think. It’s figure-hugging, yes. So is Cap’s, so is Clint’s, so is Tony’s for that matter. Hulk strips down to a pair of ripped shorts, for christ’s sake. It looks like her butt is emphasized because Scarlett happens to have a bangin’ ass that looks good in a cat-suit. If she had a flat butt, it would look flat.
Okay, I’m done.
This is abso-fucking-lutely brilliant. Especially everyone’s hair.
The decision to keep Fury bald is just amazing. One thing about super-ladies that really bothers me is that they always have this mass of hair that is just begging to be grabbed by some assailant or getting in their face. Lady Thor’s braids are also fantastic, very true to Norse tradition, and Lady Tony’s hair is perfect.
I REALLY LIKE THE HAIR
yup. Bald Fury is my favorite part. i wonder how women dont get their hair snagged on more stuff in action flicks. in real life you always go for the hair first… not that any of this stuff happens in real life.

One last Batgirl/Supergirl comic for the holidays. For whatever you celebrate this time of year (or not at all), I wish everyone a very merry, happy December!
More on this comic here.
Please enjoy this little lapse from my self-imposed Batgirl/Supergirl comics retirement to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! (or Hanukah, or Kwanza, or Festivus, or whatever your winter holiday of choice is). Indulge in all the cookies you want. It is an intricate part of what this time of year is all about.
Last year’s Batgirl/Supergirl Christmas
*Fun Fact! My Killer Croc is totally inspired from my favorite Killer Croc comic of all times by the great Calamity Jon Morris.
Preview of Astonishing X-Men #57 at CBR
Looks like they are indeed running with a DOMA storyline. Still mildly irked that Kyle is suddenly American. No, that he was Canadian was never made explicit, but that sure seemed to be the implication. Guess that does make them getting married in New York make sense, at least. (And no, that was not funny. At all.)
Yay Karma and the twins!
Oh, Warbird. These are very nice pages, but it’s too little, too late and you’re still being written as you in another book.
You know, if X-Termination takes place at issue #60, surely we must be getting more story after. Three issues is a very thin TPB.
Still not sure how I feel about the new art.
