Fuego Fish posted:Speaking of bad renditions of kids in comic books, I'm still weirded the gently caress out by the harsh shifts between the two artists they had on Avengers Undercover. That is a very clear case of a lack of editorial oversight in the name of a deadline. Jesus christ. It reminds me when Kaere Andrews started drawing Ultimate X-Men back sometime around 02-04 and the shift was just so radical I could barely tell who was who anymore... in the loving X-Men...

Fuego Fish posted:I was really psyched at the first issue or two of Axis. Seriously, it had a psychic Nazi, a big fight, heroes teaming up - it was like someone had said "you know what? We need comic books to return to how they used to be. We need fun. Mindless, two-fisted, four-colour fun." Isn't the first image from Avengers Arena, which had the health bars and that art style? I haven't read Avengers Undercover, but Ryker does seem to have grown up quick (and slimmed down her Dethlok arm) for a series that comes straight after Arena if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, Avengers Undercover was immediately after, but she looked the same as in the left picture whenever the terrible fill-in artist wasn't getting his creep on.

Am I crazy, or is Lois calling Superman a pedophile here? "How do I get him to look under my clothes...he'll never do it to me as an adult, but what if I was a baby...?"

Does Lois have Merlin Syndrome in that comic or did old timey writers have no idea how six years old childs actually behaved? If your kid is six and still sleeping in a crib and drinking from a bottle, your either a terrible parent or should probably consult a medical professional.

I'd guess the latter, to the point where an early issue of Power Pack had a letter printed that said 5-year-old Katie should talk more like "Me shoot stars at bad snakes."

There are many things the Fastest Man Alive is good at. Foreplay is not one of them. (Flash v1 #244, 9/76) There are many things the Fastest Man Alive's editors are good at. Racial sensitivity, obviousry not. (Flash v1 #181, 7/68)

If your kid is six and still sleeping in a crib and drinking from a bottle, your either a terrible parent or should probably consult a medical professional. To be fair, she was hit by a "Youthening Ray" as an adult, and was getting younger and younger. So, in that panel, she's 6, but she kept getting younger and younger, which is why she was in a crib and drinking from a bottle later on. Oh, and she doesn't want Superman to use his x-ray vision to look under her clothes, it's because his x-ray vision will reverse the Youthening process. Though, yeah, out of context, that is one weird panel... Interesting they were taken directly from the Lois Lane comic--I'd heard they did that, but the intro to the Dailies book implies that the newspaper strips are actually more fleshed out, since an arc could run over several weeks. Not being familiar with the source material, I don't know how true that is, but the introduction talks about the Dailies being these interesting, alternative tellings of tales from the comic book, with variations and more details. Random Stranger--if you have that Lois Lane issue handy, can you post the panel right after Lois getting forcefed with the bottle? It's basically just her as a baby with the bottle in her mouth and a thought balloon saying "I'll kill him for this!" Curious to see it in color.

Also, taking a closer look, it seems like they may have redrawn some of the panels. Definitely an interesting thing.

You were right about the strips being an adaptation of the original story. They aren't just reproducing the original art in black and white. This being a silver age Lois Lane story, Superman actually knows what's going on the entire time, but he let it happen because he thought it would be funny to gently caress with her.   Why Lois got herself turned into a baby in the first place:  Lois Lane #10

It would be pretty agonizing trying to be attractive to Superman. You can never wear your granny panties, he can hear you fart from across the galaxy, and wrinkles wouldn't even be in the top 10 of disgusting things he could see on your face.

I welcome the day when superhero movies stop being epic adventures and just stuff like Spider-Man becoming an Objectivist jerk and Lana and Lois fighting to the death to marry Superman. That's what I want from that Quicksilver movie Fox might make. It's a day in his life stealing things, pranking people, and eventually escalating to him stopping a villain entirely by accident. Funny stuff:

Quicksilver is no Silver Age Batman or Superman [Mark Miller at his absolutely most pointlessly brutal has never come up with a character a fifth of the douchebag Silver Age Superman is], but he gives it a good run. I will always love him for using the Skrull invasion to go "Oh, yeah, all that insanely horrible poo poo that happened was done by my Skrull duplicate. What a monster he was! Good thing I'm not *that* guy, and am thus totally blameless in that incredibly reprehensible poo poo!".
