Super Friends Card Game - Hawkwoman

This is a Super Friends birthday card-game featuring art by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez. There are two cards for each hero. You must place them on the table face down after sorting them randomly and then taking turns you must find the pairs. Focus! because if you dont find a pair, you lose your turn and must place the cards face down again. The Joker is the wildcard, so it pairs with any other card.

Here is the Hawkwoman card with classic pose by Garcia Lopez


Very appropriate since my birthday is coming.

Written by Dave Gibbons and penciled by the great Ivan Reis, the Rann-Thanagar War was one of the five mini-series leading to Infinite Crisis; this one focused on the cosmic aspect of the DC Universe and starred Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Adam Strange, Starman, Green Lantern, and Hawkwoman.

Batgirl in The Brave & The Bold #33

This is a very weird story, and I cetainly hope it takes place out of continuity. In a nutshell, Zatanna and Wonder Woman know that Batgirl is going to be shot in the spine by The Joker and will be left paralized. What do they do with this information? They take poor Barbara clubbing the night before her world comes crashing down on her.

By the time Barbara was shot by The Joker, she had already given up being Batgirl, which is why I made the "out of continuity" reference. It doesn't even work as an Elseworlds story; come on... a powerful magician, and an amazon gifted powers by the gods themselves cannot protect an ally from terrible suffering and just allow it to happen? Very morbid.

Anyway, the only thing I liked about this issue was the art -and not all of it, only a few pages- some of which is shown here.
