It's an all-star lineup featuring the work of two fan-favorite artists in this series! Four of DC's superstars are represented: Batman and Batgirl, as drawn by Jim Lee in All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, and Superman and Super Lois, as drawn by Frank Quitely in the Eisner Award-winning All Star Superman!  The Batgirl figure is 5.5" and features multiple points of articulation and a base.

1001 Deaths of the Redheads

This comic makes me so mad! The Rann-Thanagar War was one of the preludes leading to Infinite Crisis, and it starred Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Adam Strange, Hawkwoman, Captain Comet, Green Lantern, and Starman.  This is issue number 6 where Hawkwoman dies betrayed by Komand'r a.k.a. Blackfire.

Not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary story.  Officer Shayera Thal died and we have not seen her since then; I was hopefully waiting for her return during Blackest Night, but what do you know?  Everyone was resurrected -including Shiera Hall- except Shayera.  I keep waiting...

Flashpoint is here

Saturday May 7th was Free Comic Book Day.  DC used the occasion to preview this summer's big event: Flashpoint, written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kubert.  In the preview we get to see Mera twice; once running along all the other DC big guns (thanks for that!), and once in a sideways vision of the Flashpoint world.  I can't wait to see a full-action Mera drawn by Andy Kubert, one of my favorite artists!

Here is Mera next to Batman (hello Brave and the Bold?)  In the actual Flashpoint #1 issue, Mera's colors are kind of washed out, and she looks more like a hologram.  This image is from the FCBD preview.

This image of Mera and Aquaman is exclusive to the FCBD preview; it does not appear in Flashpoint #1.
