I’ve never really read Silver Sable before but Brad Walker’s take on her in Heroes For Hire #2 is AWESOME. I’m in.

Why yes, I think so!
Walking The Comic Runway (http://comicrunway.wordpress.com)
It may be new, but in a handful of posts, this new blog had me laughing and nodding my head vigorously in agreement…not to mention full of anticipation of what will surely be coming with all the costume craziness I see (and lament).
Get on board now and be one of those “first fans”…it’s almost like discovering a new band…*
And may I offer up this, this, this, and this as potential fodder for posts on those slow days!
*big thanks to Ross for bringing Comic Runway to my attention!

So let me just say, if more superhero art (and design) looked like the following Oliver Coipel cover for Wolverine & Jubilee #1…I would be reading more comics (and bitching A WHOLE LOT LESS). I first thought this was a Stuart Immonen cover…and it has some great Immonen like qualities (highest of compliments coming from me)…but it’s Coipel and I have to give the man props because there is SO much right in this simple image.
First and foremost Wolverine is short. Smaller than Jubilee style short. He’s also a bit stocky. These are great things.
Now, onto Jubilee. First of all, she looks at least a bit Asian…which is so rare, and a huge step in the right direction at a minimum. Secondly, she’s very slight and slim and not crazy curvy and stacked like every other woman in comics – she’s got small proportions that befits the history of the character. It’s so fucking refreshing I had to stare at it for full minutes to understand the wonderfullness (not a word!) that was occurring. Lastly, the fashion forward-ness of Jubilee’s costume…it’s completely streamlined and refined and super cool (and hot) while still being both appropriate for superheroing and totally retaining her identity within the update. The yellow jacket and large pink-ish sunglasses are just unmistakably Jubilee…but paired with a slick black catsuit…I just…I am swooning over this.
AND a zippered costume that is zipped up? PLEASE. MORE COMICS LIKE THIS. ALWAYS. FOREVER. BRING IT.
Start the new year off right with a brand new She Has No Head! column about the wall to wall fun that is NEXTWAVE AGENTS OF H.A.T.E.!

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!
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!

From Left: Psylocke, Hellion, Sunspot (?), Jubilee, Storm, Magneto, Avalanche (?), Namor, Beserker (?), Gambit, Cannonball or Cypher?, Rogue, Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler.
Some coolness about Age of X from CBR.
First off…Rogue looks AWESOME. Love the slightly punky old-school hair.
I could do without the Storm Savage Land get up, definitely, although, it bothers me less in context (the context being that we’ve got three topless dudes, which is honestly a little weird but seems more balanced than what we usually get).
However, that is the coolest Dazzler has EVER looked. Looking that fucking hardcore I think I could finally like Dazzler…or at least tolerate her.
Namor looks great, though oddly young.
I don’t love Cyclops’ weird mask…but overall…everyone looks really interesting…except Gambit…why does he have the head of a slightly pudgy bratty twelve year old? Plus the ridiculous hair. Ick.
Oh, and in case you guys didn’t see it, here’s one of the other images which includes the above characters and more. Pretty cool stuff overall…in the hands of Mike Carey and Clay Mann and with Rogue playing a major role, at least initially, I can’t even pretend to be above it and uninterested.
From Left (at least so far as I’ve figured out): Gambit, Rogue, Magneto, Psylocke, Bezerker (?), Hellion, Wind Dancer (?), Sunspot (the image above suggests maybe not?), Dazzler, Warpath (?), Jubilee, Chamber, Frenzy, Cyclops, Colossus, Pixie, Storm, Namor, Avalanche (?), Cypher, and Cannonball.

I did a really fun (though super time consuming) post over on She Has No Head! today for my one year anniversary writing for the site.
