Oct. 11th, 2006 04:54 amFrom a discussion on Alpha Females in comics I ran across:
But over in Supreme Power we have Power Princess. In the that title, we haven't been exposed to her that much, but we do know that she's an evil psycho bitch.
*shudder* Everyone in Supreme Power is crazy and insane. Power Princess is really no more frightening than Emil Burbank. In fact, she may be less frightening because she's so inhuman.
Quick, anyone else reading the title, name a team member who isn't nuts. I can only think of one, two if Tom Thumb isn't a mental case (and we haven't got enough characterization on him to tell yet)...

New Comics Day
Oct. 11th, 2006 03:28 pmOnly two books this week (though I did grab the .25 Fables#1 reprint. Mostly for the 1001 Nights of Snowfall preview). So I grabbed the 4th Strangers in Paradise pocket book...
First this week is a new Fables with the life and times of Hansel in Mundy land. Basically he's a religious zealot and psychopath. Which makes it difficult to figure why, if he loathes witches so much, he's willing to work for the Adversary and with people like the Snow Queen. Also a back-up piece about Kevin Thorne, the former reporter introduced way back during the Toy Soldiers invasion...
Then we've got a new Powers. Where we get to see another group of heroes self-destruct after a tragedy. I like Bendis' work most of the time (especially on this specific book) but does the dude actually LIKE super-heroes at all?
