Reviews for this week or sort of I dunno
Huntress YO #4:
I keep forgetting to get this comic the week it comes out because I'm not used to bi-weeklies.
This comic is just so snappy, masterful and SMART. I am loving the art more and more, and Helena essential elegant darkness and badassery remains intact. I loved her meeting Babs. Sure, the meeting was unlikely and improbable, but I loved the exchange. Oh, happy pre-shot Babs. ("Maybe European women are more girly. I'll try to be girly.") And the artist just drew Babs so preeeettty.
I also liked the underwater fight, it was very well thought out, with the man dressed like the devil and tying Helena's hair to the pipe (OUCH!)
Also, Alfred snark at the end! "Mustaches show sophistication, Ms. Gordon." Oh, Alfred.
Next issue has an exciting set up, can't wait for Helena and Bats to meet.
5/5
Raven #5
Eh, it was sweet. Okay ending. I missed an issue, so...the art was more cluttered than usual this time around, too. Cool to see Raven kick ass in her own special way tho.
3.5/5
Blue Beetle #29
Step up from last fill in issue. Not anything spectacular, but a fun, solid issue that showcases Jaime's compassion (Jaime is my comic book boyfriend. I love him so) and has Peacemaker kicking open doors for no apparent reason. (Peacemaker is a textbook example of a slated for dead, outta date character reinvented into awesomeness. See, people, every character has the ptential to be great. No needless killings!)
4/5

Here's a pic I did with Cass in it. It's kind of a "Girls of the DCU" thing...someone at Scans_daily mentioned they wished Cass was in the Women of the DCU pic Adam Hughes did, and someone else noted Cass wouldn't like posing for a pic and mentioned the scars, then someone else said "So give her a long sleeved dress and throw in Spoiler next to her." So I just kind of wanted to draw Cass looking awkward in a long sleeved dress and Steph supportively with an arm around her...
From left to right, Miss Martian (the visual cue I gave is her belt and skirt of her dress being similar to her costume), Misfit (leggings are the cue here), Spoiler (The design of her dress recalls the sash on her costume), Batgirl (long sleeves, and her dress would be black with a yellow belt if colored. Also a scar on her collarbone), Speedy (Arrow shaped collar) and Empress (Belt similar to her costume, bangles on hands and feet like WWYJ costume...I used Titans Companion for reference on Megan, Mia and Anita)
Their hands and feet are all deformed, I tried shading and completely failed and I had to leave Rose and Cassie out because of room (I changed it to "Girls of the DCU I like") but it was fun to draw.
