(Liefeld is, as always, excluded from this, as his women have legs longer than their entire bodies and arms just to start with).<br /><br />Voodoo's costume is okay; she has that weird headband hairpiece that a lot of Image heroes wore, men and women alike. But Zealot often just ends up looking ridiculous with the topknot ponytail, which, by the way, another one of her teammates has, making it look even dumber. Is there any scene from the Moore or Casey WildC.A.T.s eras that highlight their similar designs? I figure Casey would comment on that; it's a shame that Joe Kelly never wrote WildC.A.T.s, he'd have a field day with it.doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-41281774859989751562014-04-02T13:40:08.085-05:002014-04-02T13:40:08.085-05:00Yikes...

I was aware that the Image issues were terribly late, but I didn't know that the crossover doesn't even make sense no matter how you arrange the middle chapters. I'd still like to flip through the Deathmate Black issue to check out Gen13's first appearance and see who drew each sequence, but I'll take Doug's word for it and never try to actually read this thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-60384277472750971652014-04-02T11:03:16.648-05:002014-04-02T11:03:16.648-05:00In reference to my previous post in regards to the...In reference to my previous post in regards to the debate in my grade 7 class about who was hotter Zealot or Voodoo, I have to take umbrage with your comment that the Image artists drew "poorly designed women.."Nikosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-85905869965912469652014-04-02T10:51:50.152-05:002014-04-02T10:51:50.152-05:00No... seriously, it isn't. You have no idea ho...No... seriously, it isn't. You have no idea how soul-sucking it is to try and read all of "Deathmate". This isn't "so bad it's good"; this isn't "bad but redeemable" like Sins Past was with Mike Deodato's artwork. Right now, the only thing more depressing than reading "Deathmate" is the feelings of deja vu I've been getting with each of DC's recent editorial moves.<br /><br />The only parts worth seeking out if you HAVE to experience Deathmate are Yellow and Blue, the ones done by Valiant (that Stryker panel is from Blue). I guess if you're a huge Gen 13 fan you could get Black just to have their debut appearance. Only do this if you can find them for a dollar or cheaper; Amazon has them for a couple of cents at this point.doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-65314097497567308032014-04-02T09:37:31.359-05:002014-04-02T09:37:31.359-05:00This is amazing.This is amazing.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546370463396570168noreply@blogger.com
