All The Time In The World

So, it’s 1975 once more and the Justice League is fighting the Injustice League of Earth Two. Or the Injustice Gang. Or the Injustice Society. Or some bunch of villains that’s teamed up together and called their group the Injustice Something Or Other.

As always, the groups fight each other one on one:

Hawkman’s legs are being tied together by the Huntress; the Wizard’s thrown a huge banana in the path of the Flash; Green Arrow’s been blinded by the Shade; Batman’s been blinded by Icicle; Aquaman has (somehow) been distracted by the Gambler; and Black Canary is being attacked by Sportsmaster.

Let’s take a closer look at that last one, shall we?

Black Canary has stayed still long enough for Sportsmaster to draw a three part target on her belly in to which he’s ready to throw a dart.

Sportsmaster has no super speed powers, no ability to do that quickly – although all credit to the guy for doing a very good job left handed – and yet Black Canary is just standing there, letting him do that, instead of either blasting him with her canary cry or using one of her Judo moves

Or even just kicking him in the balls, which might be more appropriate for the Sportsmaster.

Man, heroes were so much more polite and accommodating in the 70s.

Must Do Better

Inclusion’s a wonderful thing.

Let’s hope lots of things change for the better in 2018, eh?

Wishing you all a Happy New Year from Crisis on Earth-Prime!

Meet The New Cowl

Not quite the same as the old cowl.

It’s a quiet time here at Earth-Prime – the Bloodlines annotations are done, I’m sorting out putting together some new shelving for my comic boxes, and gearing up to start the Millennium annotations in the new year – so I thought I’d hone my Sketch Up skills a little more by re-doing Batman’s cowl. The first version was drawn on by hand; the second version was modelled in Sketch Up and was better, but I wasn’t really happy with it. So here’s a comparison between version two on the left, and version three on the right:

Subtle changes apart from the ears but I’m liking it. Shame I didn’t get it done before my end of year post in a couple of days where I’m still using version two.

Now if only I can get better at hair . . .

Merry Christmas!

Here’s hoping Santa brings you what you want, and maybe not what you deserve!
