Here's what I'm buying! Not really into the base design on the regular Cover Girls line, but for Bleez, I would make an exception.
Also, there's a 9" tall animated Supergirl statue coming from Diamond Select as part of their Femme Fatales line. List price is about $45.

Man, Ales Kot's Secret Avengers is great. Way better than what I've read of Spencer's run, at any rate.
It still blows my mind just how timeless the Bruce Timm designs are, especially his girl characters. Pretty much EVERYTHING super hero related from the mid-90's be it other cartoons like Spider-Man/X-Men or the comics themselves has aged and reeks of the 90s. The Bruce Timm animated designs he did? Look just as modern and timeless at the same time as they did 20 years ago. It's crazy.
It is pretty incredible now that you mention it. Such a fantastic artist.

He really owns his style. Very unique, which is a big part of why it ages so well. It helps that basically everything else that came out of the 90s was bad, so it really shines by comparison.
I think it's the simplicity of his designs. You could take his art and put it in a time machine back to the 60's and it would fit right in.

Bruce Timm is like a sexy streamlined combo of Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko
The only crime is that he doesn't do nearly enough actual comic books

Sorry forgot the link in a sea of hype.

They might show more at Toy Fair this weekend, though most likely it'll just be in-person shots of the things in the press release.

Man, I hope that Joker / Harley statue isn't the price of two Bombshells.

He really doesn't do a whole lot of actual comics, he makes most of his money working on various animated shows. But of course there's Batman: Mad Love, Harley and Ivy #1-3, the Batman Adventures Annual #1-2, the Batman Adventures Holiday Special, and the Two-Face 8-pager from Batman Black and White Vol 1.
That's actually the continuation of that middle page. You turn the page as Joker comes in and Batman crouching down and BAM huge Jack Kirby uppercut. Its like that in the animated adaptation too.

Mad Love
Yeah, but from which book is it from? From Mad Love?^^

All three pages are from the Mad Love and Other Stories trade. The latter two are the eponymous story.
Also, I'm skeptical that this made it into the animated version.

Thank
I just love this Bruce Timm-ish style.
Yeah, most of the comics in that collection (minus parts of the "Going Straight" story) are drawn by Timm.
Why does Timm have to be so lewd.

Maybe not, but did they have Harley slinking her way out of a giant birthday cream pie doing a Happy Birthday song like Marylin Monroe. And they somehow snuck in a very suggestive line reading of, "Wanna try some of my pie? I'm sure you'll want seconds!" past the censors.

Flipping through this trade, that's not even the most lewd thing in this collection.
Oh, it was that particular episode? I didn't know.

Maybe Timm isn't lewd... Maybe Nudull is prude?
Funny to think he's in charge of the vast majority of the DC animated stuff.

Ah, you're right, its from Beware the Creeper.

I love timm and all his naked ladies
Bruce TImm's porn drawings threw me for a loop the first time I saw them.
There should be a Bruce Timm Omnibus.
Oh boy, I remember that I skipped a few years back all Timm Batman books of a friend of mine, because I considered them back then as to childish.
I was so stupid back then
Yeah, I had some friends like that too growing up... that 90s extreme muscles upon muscles upon pouches upon belts was still blinding some folks when it came to comic book art.

yeah, cuz I grew up with his cartoons. Then one day you google image search "Bruce Timm" and you got Joker fuckin' Harley with a whoopie cushion with BT's signature on it
that was a strange day

I wouldn't be surprised if you were being literal here.
The most important change in my taste in comic books are that I now love artists like Marcos Martin, Bruce Timm and Mike Allred.

Catwoman was like $250-$300+ depending on where you bought her.

The Star Wars series so far has been great, but this issue of Vader blew it out of the water. I feel like Star Wars fell a little flat on Vader's voice in the second issue, but Gillen has it down perfectly.
The art was also a step above Star Wars, particularly regarding Vader's saber. Really enjoying the political atmosphere as well, best book I read this week.
The back and forth between him and Jabba was great.

Some stuff I have in my library that's good:
Avengers by Kurt Busiek
New X-Men
Daredevil by Bendis (really anything Daredevil they have is good)
Ultimate Spider-Man
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (current series, first volume is Change is Constant)
Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye
Thunderbolts by Warren Ellis
Thanks, gonna go black bezel I think.
Also been filling in the blanks in my Morales spider-man reads, how the hell had I not read the Spider-Men limited before?? sogood.gif
Hows the ultimate morales book been since the restart? Haven't read any of it yet
It's decent, it's basically been in a holding pattern for the past couple of issues while they sort out the mind meld but I love Miles so it's still one of my fav reads.
Thanks!
That's thread title material if ever I seen it.

Finished reading Parker: The Hunter. An amazing read. I think I will need to track down the Martini Edition.
Yep, an absolute Cunt. One usually expects the lead character to have some redeeming quality or the other. Got nothing here.
Is it a Parker book or is this something else.
I just starter reading this, off to a great start.

MGS reference or not, it's still a stupid word.
