I also really, really like this Dustin Nguyen cover for Superman/Batman #40. Yeah, it’s got Batman with his hand over Bekka’s chest, and if she’s Orion’s wife she’s gotta be a take-no-crap kinda gal, but it’s just so… elegant? It’s like a piece of fine art. Not to mention the machinework. Nguyen is really one of the best out. I love this image.
Do you see the Superman logo on that cover? It took me a second, but it’s there. Very cool.
There is a lot to like in the new DC solicits. I might have to dedicate a whole post to it.
There’s not a lot to like on scans_daily, on the other hand. I mean, it’s a suggestive scene. That’s kind of the point. He’s seducing her to the darkside, so to speak. To see it as forced oral, though, is a bit much. I mean, look at his arms. No way does Maximus have a 36 inch penis. But, hey, that white highlight on her cheek must be you know what!
Ugh, I’ve got to stop clicking on links to parts of the internet I hate. Personally, I blame Tejeda.
I don’t know who that Tejada asshat is. Isn’t he the B-More Shortstop?

by notintheface June 20th, 2007 at 01:15 --replyProbably because his wife is trying to cheat on him with George Clooney?

by Joseph Mastantuono June 26th, 2007 at 11:31 --replyI thought that Dustin Nguyen cover was a Mad fold-in. Actually, it does look kind of cool. Batman putting his hands on her, doesn’t seem like something he’d usually do, so he must really like her…
