Chanel Banks is your local mean girl. She had it all growing up, looks, money, and a slew of friends. But, somewhere down the line she went sour. Her only goal now is total destruction of any and every one who crosses her path. Tears and heartaches served daily.

The old couple bought roses and tulips for themselves. The man put a white rose in the lady's bun. The lady giggled. The man hugged her.

🌷🌹

They went to a street side croissant store and bought one croissant. They sat on the chairs outside and shared the croissant and fed each other. They held hands. They giggled.

🥐

They went to a cake shop and bought some cake-making ingredients. They went home. Wore the aprons. The man put the chef's hat on the lady's head. They started to make a cake. The lady totally covered the man's face with flour and started laughing. The man brought her close to him and kissed her on the cheek.

🍰🩷

They were slowly dancing in the living room while hugging each other. The lady whispered something to the man's ear and he laughed. The lady stood on her toes and kissed the man on his forehead.

🤍🎈

While sitting on the bench near the river during sunset, the new couple promised each other to do all the positive and lovely things in their life ahead.

✨ pokémon AU! 🔴✨ clora is mainly fairy & psychic (bc shes sweet but also smart) whereas seb trends towards fire/dark (even tho i only ended up giving him 1 dark pokemon...shhh) i originally gave him a houndour, bc dark + guard dog was such a perfect combo for him, but arcanine ALSO suits him and is way cuter so i had to go with that 🥹 and i had to fit in a raven and a snake pokemon somewhere bc...cmon🥰 BAHAHA

TYSM to the anon who inspired this!! it was so much fun

The Boy Wonder #2 by Juni Ba rambling about Gotham's fearsome hunter

added Jason to this issue's collage since it was mainly from his perspective!

ramble for issue #1 here!

starting with the cover again, but now in contrast to the first:

Dick and Barbara are presented as statues in the bg for the first cover where they’re established heroes in a secure time in their lives, and Damian is obviously the highlight! For #2's cover, the autumn leaves motif returns, but this time featuring Jason!! Apparently, Damian isn’t the only one to go through a “season of change” in this series, as Jason takes his own steps forward by the end of this story 🥺 also the literal layers on Jason - his angry Red Hood helmet and the beaten down Robin head...

The issue opens with Joe the robber and his hostage "Merle"! The glasses feels like a giveaway that this is Carrie(??) narrating Damian's story, so the final issue could end with her perspective for where Damian currently is in his journey as Robin and where she plays a part.

Jason as the "hunter" of this fairytale is such a cool concept, especially upon his introduction pages!! He's surrounded by his recent "prey" with a nice contrast of their fancy jackets, pinstripe pants, and dress shoes to Jason's own tattered hoodie, pants, and sneakers.

Just like the past issue (or just Ba's work in general lol), THE BACKGROUNDS ARE SO LOVINGLY DRAWN. Makes Jason's stroll through inner Gotham so enjoyable from the bustling activity of the people, shop signs, and advertising to the quieter area of the cemetery. It's so lived in, especially feels like each citizen in the bg has a story to tell!

some bits of interest to me: is that scaly lil arm reaching for the rat supposed to be Croc LOL; just neat visual of old Joker posters leering over Jason; the name of the cemetery a nod to Kevin Conroy? and from T. Wayne - Thomas Wayne?

Despite showing how much of an intimidating and hardened exterior the Red Hood has, there's plenty of suggestion that he has soft edges! from his act of revenge for a beloved member of the community, his familiarity with the people even greeting him, and down to his chocobar...

might be my overthinking but the layers of that close up shot of the chocobar really got me 😭 it's like such a piece of innocence when seen in his scarred hand, especially when "Wayne Sweets" is visible - is it more emphasis of Jason clinging to a safer time and Bruce Wayne himself?? or is this brand just his favorite lil treat

EITHER WAY, incredibly funny to me Jason seems to hide it once Damian shows up

Seeing Ba's storyboards has me even more curious about his process with O'Halloran - like, it's a small detail but the traffic light in the foreground being red! added emphasis on the red theme this issue, or a warning for these two to Stop heading into a trap? ANYWAY DAMIAN HESITANTLY ASKING ABOUT HIS MOTHER I'M THROWING UP AWWGH

also love critically acclaimed animated film "The Cheetah King" haha! ALTHOUGH, Jason's story does line up with Simba's - a lost prince that feels like he's failed his father. Even believed to be dead for a period of time lol

Rok the demon's design is so slick!! Seems to take after a peacock with how fanciful he is, plus his tail details in his other form! A dapper demon definitely ready for the gala!

A GLIMPSE OF BA'S HEAVIER ACTION ART!! THE POUNCE!! the Robins being entirely made up of motion lines, even the details for Jason's helmet; and i'm always a sucker for those light streaks from the eyes!! THE PUNCH!! the quick panel of Jason's fist before arcing into that POW!!

and i say a glimpse, because in just the two other books i've read from Ba so far, he draws so much more action. lil Monkey Meat promo BUT LOOK!! have i mentioned how much i love his sfx lettering...that "AAAH" getting motion lines when closer to the camera...crazy...

dropping another small element from one of his books, Djeliya! just a really cool visual of casting magic!!

I love this sequence leading up to the Joker vision! The shapely flames that dwindle into the shape of TEARS!! We don't get the extent of how deeply the Joker affected Jason until this moment and the man is terrified.

First thing Damian does after getting shot is insult Jason, DAMIAN IS SO FUNNY. Also absolutely love the wiggly woggly lines of EVERYTHING in this panel.

Considering what Damian said earlier: "We both know you'd rather not have to explain your failure to father if anything happens to me that you could have prevented." As if Jason didn't already feel like a failure before this!! of course he'd turn into jiggling jelly realizing what he's done.

After 27 pages of a narrow-eyed Red Hood, including an early tease of him about to take off the helmet for his snack, this full page of Jason unmasking himself is such a heavy reveal. Adding the aching piece of dialogue?? BRUTAL

Damian responds in kind to the vulnerability with his own confession and something Jason really needed to hear after burdening himself for so long with the idea of being a failure.

After Damian leaves, the camera pulls back to show The Door in the dark of the room. Damian quite literally presents Jason a window of opportunity to face his past, and it goes so hard. Just like the buildup of frowning mask-to-face reveal, Jason's few expressions have mostly looked sad. So the shadowed eyes before the glare of determination makes this quiet moment feel extra epic!! also reminiscent of the Red Hood mask he wears!!

Beyond the door of Jason's "past life" is complete darkness. Jason has been hoping for Batman to pull him out of it (as further suggested by the newspaper clippings), but in the final page, the door is leaking light!! Jason finds his own way forward :')

The first issue introduces the Robins with specific labels, and so far the narrative either delves deeper into those claims or challenges it. Damian is unimpressed by "kind and brave" Dick and even forms some kind of rivalry. By the end, Damian’s learned how those simple traits are essential to becoming the person and hero Dick has become and gains a newfound respect for him.

#2 deviates from #1 by following “brash and rageful” Jason's perspective! Damian is under pressure from the legacies of all the Robins before him, and even if he relates to Jason the most there's still tension. This time around, while Damian does learn what lies behind the mask, he's the one to impart some knowledge to his fellow Robin.

ending ramble with a panel of the small beans

"Look Damian, everything the light touches is our kingdom."

TBH this ramble took forever to start because after reading Djeliya and Monkey Meat, i was so floored by how much MORE Ba has to offer. Everything i raved about from the first issue of The Boy Wonder...Ba's done it all in his previous work and MORE SO?? on top of writing, whimsical paneling and lettering, fun action scenes, deliberate coloring, kickass character designs and worldbuilding... the man does it all?? 😭

Monkey Meat 🐒

Djeliya: A West African Fantasy Epic ✌️

Mobilis: My Life with Captain Nemo

The Unlikely Story of Felix and Macabber

i may save the last two books for after The Boy Wonder ends because imagining the end of the series makes me so sad LOLL orz i may cave just because Mobilis is a pleasantly giant book...praying for DC to give the collected edition of The Boy Wonder this treatment...his pages are brimming with energy they deserve to be blown up with an oversized printing 😭

[celerydays]

As an apology for how long Part 2 is taking me, please accept my favorite panel I've sketched for it thus far 🫴🌹

I really and truly forgot to account for the fact that after Part 1, literally EVERYTHING going forward was going to be stuff I've either never drawn before / don't know how to draw / struggle so much at drawing 😫

[gogomadu]

With her plan for revenge completed, Mula desired to escape the world around her. Whether she was a victim of her circumstances, or felt that she had a new lease on life, Mula just wanted to experience true freedom. So leaving behind her daughter, her marriage, and her family, Mula embarked on a solo trip.

You promise me heaven, you put me through hell 🎶🎵🎶

[tushnee]

To me, you're like the 'spring-blossoms',

To me, you're like the sweet smell of cape jasmine,

To me, you're like the excitement during first snowfall,

To me, you're like the favourite song on loop,

To me, you're like the smell of new books,

To me, you're like the dew drops on soft green grass,

You're my love.

unexpectedly, gwen had some anxiety after a promotion. she decided to practice some self-care

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

ohoho you made a mistake answering that doll ask, i have so many doll!reader ideas >:)

this is a bit of an odd one loll but yk how some dolls are hollow inside depending on how they're made? what if doll reader hides/stores stuff inside themselves💀 like they're at a store and they just pop off their hand to grab a mora pouch from inside their wrist lolol i wanna see how ajax and legacy would react to that

you could put a skittle in there

listen, Foul Legacy can tell when you've got something tucked away- he can HEAR it rattling around in there even if other people can't. at first he thinks that he's imagining it, but he almost chokes when he promptly yank off a limb and pull out some mora, crystalline eye trained on your hand as you cheerfully hand the money over without a pause. he coughs and chitters once you're alone, worriedly poking and prodding at where you reattached whatever you pulled off until you reassure him that you're totally fine. Legacy breathes a sigh of relief- and immediately gives you a sulky glare. so THAT'S what that sound was! he thought he was losing his mind! no, turns out you're just really good at muffling the noise, and it's only his sensitive hearing as an Abyssal beast that could pick up on it. he huffs and pouts, but relents when you raise a hand and scritch behind his horns, unable to keep his wings from fluttering blissfully

he won't admit it to ANYONE, but Legacy starts giving you stuff to store inside too. you go for a lot of walks together, and he tends to pick up any interesting rocks or leaves or shells that he likes, and well, his claws get full eventually! it starts with one, then two, then three, and soon you're rattling faintly as you walk. at this point you've just started keeping your hand unattached in case Legacy has anything else he wants to give you. once you're home you carefully remove each and every trinket, putting them on the floor for him to sort out with much glee. you can help if you want! he'd love that

Legacy also admittedly gives you rocks or acorns to store specifically so you can jump around and annoy Ajax with the rattling when he transforms back. all he needs to do is give you a specific look filled with mischief and amusement- his "treacherous" face, as Ajax calls it- and you catch on and give him the same look in return. the Harbinger is less than thrilled for having to deal with you being a human-shaped maraca, but you always eventually stop and show him the items you and Legacy gathered that day. Ajax likes shiny things, too
