Still catching up…my favorite panel(s) from 12/22/10…
Panel #1. A completely ordinary panel from Zatanna #8 by Cliff Chiang. And it is the very “ordinariness” of it that makes it spectacular. If only more comics could be like this! Chiang’s attention to detail in the way Zatanna is rendered from her hairstyle down to her clothing choices (which also actually look like clothing – with real folds and everything!). I wish this wasn’t extraordinary…but it SO is. Also, for anyone out there listening…I would buy almost any book that Chiang was the regular pencilier on…bonus points if it has a female lead as he is EXTRA good at that. Wonderful!
Panel #2. Do I really need to explain why this panel from Yanick Paquette’s Batman Inc. #2 is totally awesome? No, I probably don’t. AWESOME.

Playing a little catch up here from while I was away and not picking up or reading my weeklies…
This was a pretty unimpressive cover week for me, as I don’t think this Streets of Gotham #18 by Dustin Nguyen is his best work and it’s still easily the best of what I got this week.

Cass Cain vs Shiva in Batgirl #25
DC Women Kicking Ass has been running a fantastic series of posts spotlighting the top moments from her poll last month for “most memorable moments for the women of the DCU” and in anticipation of upcoming voting for the top moments of the last 75 years of DC Comics.
It’s a great idea to spotlight these moments in such a way and with the guest writers on board – it’s quite a sight – so far comics badasses Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, Phil Jimenez, Mike Madrid and Bryan Q. Miller among other great writers and bloggers have contributed.
It’s a rare treat to see creators writing passionately about these characters and moments.
As of today we’re on moment #11, and you should really check out the series. I’d say you should take a look because yours truly wrote about moment #10 – the defeat of Shiva by Cassandra Cain in Batgirl #25 – but with talents like Rucka, Simone, and Miller on board, well, I think we all know who the A-listers are! 😉
But I was honored to particpate and urge you to read about all these wonderful women and wonderful moments.

Head on over to Comics Should Be Good and check out the latest She Has No Head! – a look at part two of my 20 Favorite Female Comics Creators!
Kate Beaton's sassy and surly Wonder Woman
Well, make that PAGE of the week. And if you think I’m having trouble editing myself, know that I could have easily scanned pretty much the entire issue of Marvel’s Strange Tales II #3 and put it up for contention. Great, great issue. Kate Beaton knocked it out of the park (twice!) in her funny pieces, and everyone else brought their A game as well…but I couldn’t resist this page from Eduardo Medeiros’ piece (with an assist by Judy Leheup). I tip my hat to you sir…awesome stuff.

Easy win this week for Marvel’s Strange Tales II #3. A bunch of hilarious giant headed Ivan Brunetti superheroes at the gym (and Spider-Man playing raquetball!) who can beat that? Nobody, that’s who!

That’s right, for my 20 Favorite Female Comics Creators of 2010, part one post, Jezebel has reprinted the article. Woo!
Part two will be up on Jezebel next Monday (as well as on CSBG via my She Has No Head! column, as usual at noon eastern).
So check it out everyone…as I’m such a huge fan of Jezebel this is very cool…in fact I’m trying not to squee myself out of my chair.
And thanks for the opportunity Jezebel!
