In honor of Bonnie and Lola and THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING we continue our 30 Days of Superheroines!
BLACK CANARY! I admit Dinah’s costume isn’t my favorite from a practicality standpoint, but in the hands of the right artist, man does it sing.

And another lady that I loved (read: was obsessed with) as a young girl watching awesome cartoons – SCARLETT!

I felt in the mood to do some smart tough ladies that influenced me even before I found comics – and also, in homage to my first nephew (who I meet on Tuesday!) – Luke – I give you PRINCESS LEIA:

She almost has a “Buffy” look to her that I kind of adore. Via DeviantArt

Today we’ve got another great X-Man and one that I rarely feel gets her due…though I’m excited to see Brian Wood writing her these days…STORM!
And you should know before we even begin that I am totally partial to the punk rock mohawk Storm although I think that will be quickly obvious…

This is so great because it’s so much more than just a character sketch on a page – there’s such composition to it with her engaging her powers – the black and white is totally powerful. Via Mike Maihack – Deviant Art

I think Ross makes a really good case here for her mohawk being kinky instead of straight. Love it. Via Deviant Art/Mooncalfe

Our first DC Woman is up and she’s one of my absolute favorites. It’s no surprise I suppose that I found a TON of great stuff for her:

So today is my birthday…which made me think I should do Rogue (a favorite)…but I have SO MANY images of Rogue that that post is going to take FOREVER.
So instead you get Psylocke, who I don’t have a ton of great ones of, but the few I have are really fantastic. Plus, Psylocke always gets screwed, the art of her is always SUPER over-sexualized…so this is a nice change of pace here.
UPDATE: I had WAY more of these than I thought I did!

Fun story, Ross never used to draw Psylocke, and then he and I got talking about a project we wanted to do together that we loving refer to as “Mad Max X-Men” and I told him we definitely needed Psylocke for my plan…so he drew this up. I think he likes her more now.

I should stress, that except for yesterday’s Buffy (and of course launching this series of posts with Bonnie and Lola) these ladies are not in any particular order. I made a list of characters I love and then went hunting for some of the best art I could find (sometimes it was easier than others…sometimes I ended up with WAY too much cool shit). You know who has more fan art (and pro art!) out there than EVER?
BLACK WIDOW!
Here we go!

I don’t know if you guys are familiar with Meredith McClaren’s “itties” but they are just about the greatest damn things ever. I have a whole bunch. And she did a series of Bonnie and Lola for the Kickstarter, which is extra awesome. You can find McClaren at Iniquitous Fish.

Sorry for the lateness on this one kids, but as you know, the Kickstarter blew the hell up today with awesomeness (we fully funded in under 30 hours!) and are now cruising wonderfully past that. And there are still locked artists rewards to reveal and everything. It’s just awesome.
And a huge thanks to so many of you that donated, supported, and spread the word. You guys are almost as badass as Lola 😉
So, I thought a lot about which amazing and inspirational superheroine should start this off, and after much thought I went with Buffy (of Buffy The Vampire Slayer ‘natch)…she was of course MY biggest superheroine influence and is in large part responsible for Bonnie, Lola, and The Girl Who Would Be King in general.
So, thanks Buffy (and Joss!)…here’s to you!
