Should be working now.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still get a forbidden message.

OK, weird. I click on the link, and I get the page. Not sure what's up.

I can see it fine on my link, but the link straight to the JPEG tells me "You do not have permission to access the requested file on this server."

Ah, well. Changed it. That should fix the problem.

Anybody reading Justice League Elite? I keep browsing through it at the stands and it looks pretty cool.
Have to say, I really liked it when Vera (the tough butch leader) told Wonder Woman to "strap it on." Okay, she was saying use the magic lariat for a truth test, but you know...
Also the backstory was very angsty and interesting. Hard not to respond to a little girl in pigtails who's had her hands lopped off.

At last! Somoene else is reading JL Elite. I've been reading from the beginning because of Green Arrow's involvement (he's back to bein' a ho, but thet's how Kelly wrote him in JLA, so it's not surprising). The Batgirl revelation was surprising, but there hasn't been any follow up (and I doubt theer will be, to tell the truth). I've been finding it interesting, but it seems to exist outside the DCU.
Steph, I see where you're coming from, but I think Bats has lept ahead because of the repurcussions from Identity Crisis.
P-C, not only is Ultimate Nightmare followed by another book (Ultimate Secret), there is a third series after that (unnamed yet). The whole thing, all written by Warren Ellis, is refferred to as the "Ultimate Trilogy" in Marvelspeak.
He's not capturing motion for shit, although his poses are pretty.
A common criticism of Greg Land's work. He's also been thought to rely on photo-reference a little too much (i.e. accused of virtually tracing pictures). When he was on the CrossGen title Sojourn, I found the same problem. Still, some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a comic book were found in that title.

THANK YOU.
I mean, I've heard similar criticism of Alex Ross, but I think the difference is one of talent and dynamism. Or Alex uses better models. Whatever. Greg's women are luminous, but they're neither heroic nor moving.

I can't stand Alex Ross, myself. Land I can take or leave (okay, I think he does nice covers), but at least his unfortunately static people don't look quite so over-endowed in the jowl department.
There's a certain sameness to all the faces Ross does, male or female. And they're all lifeless.
