She Freak (1967)

hello hello hello

i just want to say i love your little drawings so much they're adorable and so full of life and everything feels exciting in them and i love how you draw and make really fun stuff for many of the minor characters, you're doing such a good job with them and it gives me so much joyy

Hi Hi Hi

Thanks for liking my stuff! Happy to bring you joy, drawing these brings me joy!

Also its fun to get into and draw minor characters because their reading lists are super short lol! But I like to give a little love to characters that most people might not know about, in fact here's some random drawings that I had in the back-burner for the past year! Never could find a chance to just post them:

Here's a cute drawing of Cyclone, Maxine Hunkle! Wanted to give her a cute costume makeover. Kinda has a magical girl look to it huh? Took a bit of inspiration from Ojamajo Doremi, but also she's meant to resemble Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz! Both the princess and the witch. I have a bit of idea of what I'm going do with her, but that's for later.

Got a drawing of Gan, Jason's friend from the Knight White books. Not sure if she exist in my Training Wheels au, but I like her a lot. Her rapport with Jason was fun to read.

Here it looks like the Outlaws are trying to recruit new members, from the Relative Heroes group, Damara Sinclaire (Allure) and Tyson Gilford (Blindside). They're not likely to join, preferring to stick with their own group. Just as well since Damara's powers might make things a rather chaotic, she doesn't need that drama in her life lol. Tho I like the thought of Tyson helping out now and then, his invisibility would be pretty useful.

Here's some random assortment of heroes, Ray Terrill the...Ray. Amethyst, tho top pic is uncolored (im lazy) but theres a Sailor Amethyst to make up for that.

There's the first Green Lantern (Alan Scott) with his kids,Jade (Jennifer Lynn Hayden) and Obsidian (Todd James Rice). Wonder why their babies here, de-aging mishap?

Jason and Toni gossip about their fellow teammates, and down below Jason decides to annoy a young Kyle Rayner. A universal constant!

Todd can't help but join in!

Also some cute father-son bonding! I sent this to someone else earlier, so imma just stick here too.

For a really minor character, here's Jay, Eddie and Rose meeting up with a very strange new friend!

And lastly here are the Metal Men, or should I say the mini-Metal Men. Read some comics about them, including a bit of silver age as well (they get destroyed pretty often, kinda funny ngl). I thought about what kinda sidekicks they could have, but I didn't want to look up metals or learn about metallurgy or chemistry or whatever. So I just made them smaller, its just temporary though, aren't they cute? Look at poor Copper, she just wants to join in!

Anyways, hope that wasn't too much, tagging all of this is gonna suck.

Sorry I haven't been posting, due to Tumblr being a pile of shit and trying give our stuff to ai websites. So I thought I would download nightshade and glaze, but that didn't work out at all (I got a new laptop but it still wont render for me at all). So I'm just gonna hope my opt-out in the settings will be enough for now. Sigh!

Hope you like all this anon, might be a while til I post again. Later!

JSA character recs

With the release of the new JSA series I wanted to come on and give a few recommendations for what might be good to read to give yourself an intro for the characters so it's a bit less confusing! I know having read about the characters was a major aid for me in not having too many issues in knowing whos who and having a general vibe for a lot of them.

I will note that prior to reading while it's not necessary I'd recommend reading Alan Scott: The Green Lantern and the prior JSA run from Geoff Johns.

I'll build this list around characters appearing in the first issue along with a little description! I'm not including every character who made a cameo because I feel that would be wayyy too much information so heres a little bit of who I think will be relevant.

Alan Scott is the original Green Lantern and often acts as a sort of leader for the JSA. Being one of the original members, he is very much an older character who sees his origin occurring decades prior to the start of the story. For more regarding his issue I'd recommend reading the recent Alan Scott: The Green Lantern as well as the latter half of Secret Origins (1985) #18, in which we see both his origin as the Green Lantern as well as his ring across time (I actually recommend reading this before Alan Scott: The Green Lantern).

Jay Garrick is also an original member, being the first Flash. He frequently appears in Flash comics to help other speedsters in times of need. For more on him perhaps pick up Secret Origins #9 and Jay Garrick: The Flash, which heavily features his daughter, Judy Garrick aka Boom.

Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders aka Hawkman and Hawkgirl respectively, possess powered wings and belts from the planet Thanagar. Carter, being a founding member, has been with the team for a long time, while Kendra first appeared in JSA: Secret Files & Origins #1 in 1999. Both of these characters appear together in Hawkman (2002) which I have not read but have had recommended to me on multiple occasions so if you're interested in them consider picking it up!

Khalid Nassour and Kent Nelson have both been Doctor Fate, with Kent being an original member of the JSA and later beginning to mentor Khalid. Khalid is the current Doctor Fate and his first appearances alongside Kent in Doctor Fate (2015).

Beth Chapel is the current Doctor Mid-Nite following Charles McNider. Beths appearances has been few and far between so for her I would recommend simply diving into her in Justice Society of America (2022) to get an idea of what she's like.

Yolanda Montez and Ted Grant both share the mantle of Wildcat. Ted, a founding JSA member, has most of his appearances throughout various JSA runs. He is a former boxer turned superhero. Yolanda on the other hand appears most, like Beth Chapel, in Infinity, Inc. For her I would also recommend diving in but I will mention that both her and Beth enter the 2022 JSA run with a mysterious illness of some kind derived from past event which is resolved within that run. Because of this I'd say it isn't really necessary to read much prior featuring them.

Rick Tyler is the Hourman, having taken up the title following his father Rex. He is currently married to Jesse Chambers and is sadly a member I don't feel extremely confident in recommending anything for. Still, Rick's powers include superhuman strength and durability.

Jennifer-Lynn Hayden and Todd Rice are the children of Alan Scott, the former going by Jade and the latter going by Obsidian. While likely biased, I am a fan of The Outsiders (2003), during which Jade is a member I'd say this comic is most likely to be enjoyed by Nightwing fans instead. Still, Jade and Todd are also characters appearing in Infinity, Inc. so it may be a good idea to read some of that as a catch-all for many characters appearing here.

Jesse Chambers is yet another member of the Flash fam, going by Jesse Quick, formerly Liberty Belle. Sadly, from what I've read Jesse is a character who often acts mostly as a support to others, rather than as a main character. If there is anything others can think of please leave it below!

Ruby Sokov is the daughter of Vladimir Sokov, the Red Lantern and Alan Scotts "enemy" (wink wink nudge nudge). She is a relatively new character so for her I'd recommend picking up the 2022 JSA run and reading up on her a bit. Currently it appears she's going to be a villain, similar to her father.

Karen Starr aka Power Girl!! Karen is the alternate universe Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. She has some great appearances in the Justice League International run which I recommend looking up a guide for and picking up regardless! (Yes that is another team book but it's really good guys you gotta you don't even have to read anything before it its so good).

Jim Corrigan is the Spectre! He was a police officer in Gotham who after dying became a spirit of vengeance through the power of God!! He's kind of super cool and one of my favourites of his stories is in Adventure Comics #435-440 coincidentally in many of the same issues as the Aquaman: The Death of a Prince stories (which I recommend picking up just for fun). He also appears in Secret Origins #15 and the Wrath of the Spectre which is a 4-issue mini!

Stargirl or Courtney Whitmore is yet another legacy character who wields a cosmic staff and with it can manipulate cosmic power (which I don't totally get but whatever). For her I'd say pick up Stargirl: The Lost Children and the last issue of the previous JSA run to get a little bit more centered around her.

Don't take this as character guides! This is more meant to be a brief overview based on what I've read and a couple I've just heard about from friends to make easing into the JSA a bit easier :) if anyone has more on these characters or good reading guides please leave them below so others can check it out and read about this team I really like!

Courtney, Love, and the Ones We Couldn't Save

Courtney sits cross-legged on my bed, thumbing through my photographs. She pulls four snapshots from the stack like she's drawing tarot cards, like pictures from twenty years gone can show her my fate as sure as the jagged loveline that runs across my palm. She flips them face up, tells me to look. A girl and a boy and a boy and a girl. First, girl. Mermaid of the great lakes fishhooked by beauty's cruelty. Streaks of blue and a seldom smile. She, altar, I, offering. My guitar heart, my escape route. She would not take it. Next, boy. Boy who Jaggered, pouted his hellmouth. A Richard in mojo boots with a father made of fists and addiction. I gave body. Thought haven, thought antidote. Instead, gallery. A new hanging-place for the old inherited brutality.

Next, boy. Priest of rumpled suits and wide-wet eyes. Rough hands that held me. His shatterable jar. I gave arms. Gave lips. Elixir and comfort. But I was not bottle enough, not whiskey enough. Not high enough proof. Then, girl. Pink and pixied. Sad as the first spring rain. She, orphan, I promise. My five-finger discount soul, my slit-wrist pact. She left me behind. Now Courtney looks at me, shakes her platinum head. Tells me she's loved that way, too. Too many times. Loved the lost girls with their necklaces of bruises. Bedded down with the boys so wounded they were already almost six feet deep. Caressed their fractures, their cuts. Offered herself up as glue, as suture. But a body is not a bandage. A heart is not a remedy.

I sit down next to Courtney, take her palm in mine. I used to think, she says, that kind of love went both ways. But it never does. Not when your beloved would rather see you drown than let themselves be saved. Oh, girl, I say, and we are silent. Remembering. The ones who, when we gave ourselves as parachute, oxygen mask, poultice, vow, refused. The ones who, when we needed them to be life boat, midwife, thread, succor, were nowhere to be found. The times when we realized that all the songs they wrote were not for us. Were not love. Were warnings, odes to their own pain. Glorified suicide notes.

—Jessie Lynn McMains, from The Girl With the Most Cake: Poems About Courtney Love (Bone & Ink Press, 2019)
