But you all make me feel better! ツ*

1 For My Girls! ;)

So for Kara's comic for Comic book week February 22nd, 2012 I did not want to gush over how much I ♥ Supergirl & Wonder Woman & Batman & Nightwing........... :9 ...............again so I decided that may be I will do some thing just a little bit different! Sorry, boys...............this is ladies nite! Kara's top 5 comic book hunks!
Hope you all enjoy it! ツ*

Steve Rogers / Captain America , by Steve McNiven
& Mark Morales & Justin Ponsor in
Captain America #1 (Marvel)

#5~Steve Rogers / Captain America

A lantern jaw & broad shoulders & a perfect gentle man...............commanding & smart & lately even funny! Steve Rogers is a geek who was given the body of a jock................what more could a girl want? Oh & he is an artist too! ;9

I will admit though that Steve is on the list for the reason that Chris Evans played him so well in the movie............I do ♥ a sense of humor! :)

Kyle Rayner / Green Lantern , by Georges Jeanty
& Darryl Banks & Terry Austen & Jason Wright
 in Green Lantern #91 (DC)

#4~Kyle Rayner / Green Lantern

Again a man with a sense humor who is an artist...............I fell for him because of his relationship with Donna Troy. Kyle is a real man in a world of larger than life super men. He shows over & over & over his tremendous ♥ & imagination! Kyle Rayner never stops fighting for what he believes in................& I believe he is sooooooooo sexie! ;9

Thomas Blake / Catman , by Dale Eaglesham
& Wade von Grawbadger & Sno-Cone in
Villains United #2 (DC)

#3~Thomas Blake / Catman

Thomas Blake.............the bad boy! He is like Batman only visceral! With Thomas it is all about the animal magnetism.............just ask Talia Al Ghul! :)

The hair.............the chest..............the stubble..............& he can cook! I imagine that a younger Brad Pitt would probably play him in a movie if it happened! *hint!hint!* ;;9

Tony Stark / Iron Man , by Daniel Acuna
in The Avengers #19 (Marvel)

#2~Tony Stark / Iron Man

As Robert Downey Junior says in "The Avengers" trailer..............Tony Stark is a "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist" & funny & charming & smart & gorgeous! :9

Look at this picture! He built a man in his spare time & he can joke about it! & unlike all of the other guys on the list he is real & living in secret as RDJ! He is! Really! lol! ;b

Dick Grayson / Nightwing ,
by Nicola Scott & Doug
Hazlewood & Jason Wright in
Secret Six #9 (DC)

#1~Dick Grayson / Nightwing

Richard 'Dick' Grayson..............he is like all 5 other guys all rolled into 1! He is geeky & funny & has a big ♥ just like Steve & Kyle.............he is like a more human Batman just like Thomas................& he is smart & rich like Tony! :)

& may be it is the woman's touch that Nicola Scott added to this pic, 'butt'.............mmmmmmmm ;9


















Maybs next week I will try some thing for the boys................all though right now I think that I need to go open up a window...............I feel a little bit flushed! ;*)

The Bat Ladies! :)

This Comic Book Week............February 8th, 2012 btw :)............I thought about how odd it is that DC has decided to release Batgirl & Batwoman in the same week............so it is Kara's bat lady week!!!!!!

Batgirl #6 (DC)
"Possible last words of a passenger on the Titanic: 'This isn't going to end well.'"~Barbara "Babs" Gordon / Batgirl

writer: Gail Simone
penciller: Ardian Syaf
inker: Vicente Cifuentes
colors: Ulises Arreola
letterer: Dave Sharpe
cover art: Adam Hughes
asst. editor: Katie Kubert
editor: Bobbie Chase
(Batman created by Bob Kane)





"A House Made Of Spun Glass" is a wonderful of 2 women living parallel lives & 1 of them is fortunate enough to have a family that ♥ her while the other 1 has cut her self off from all but her career...........it is just funny that 1 of the 1st woman's family is Bruce Wayne............Batman natch! ;)

Babs is fighting against a new enemy named Gretel who has mind control powers tied to the # 338.............& she has used them on Bruce.............so we get to see Babs solve a mystery & fight Batman................& we find out Bruce & Babs feelings toward each other! & it all gets rounded out with more of Babs' past..........although we still do not know if she was ever Oracle. :(

Babs' story is driven by Gail Simone's fabulous writing which can be funny & caring & exciting all at once! I have gushed over her writing before though! :)

Misters Syaf & Cifuentes & Arreola's art work is absolutely lovelie in this ish! Perhaps the best of the series! Gretel is a great looking new enemy for Babs & Babs' mom looks more distinctive from Babs this ish...........but may be I am just in ♥ over the hug Babs & Bruce share! :)

I can only point to 2 things that I was less than happy about............Babs looks like a teen ager when she should be a grown woman & I miss Oracle! :( Or is that only 1 thing? `;S

But this may be my favorite ish of this series so far so I will have to go back to 1 of my past favs to honor the "new" Batgirl..............

RATING: 9 Stephs out of 10!!!!

Batwoman #6 (DC)
"So...you like the new uniform?"~Cameron Chase

writers: J.H. Williams III & W. Haden Blackman
penciller & cover: Amy Reeder
inkers: Rob Hunter & Richard Friend
colorist: Guy Major
letterer: Todd Klein
associate editor: Harvey Richards
asst. editor: Rickey Purdin
editor: Mike Marts







"To Drown The World Part One" sees Kate Kane in her new role as an agent of the Department Of Extranormal Operations with her.............partner?.............Cameron Chase.

This story is about Kate trying to find the children that she has been looking for for most of this series. We jump around in time to see the different characters.............Kate as Kate, Kate as Batwoman, Cameron Chase, Kate's father & cousin Bette................Flamebird natch! ;)..................Detective Maggie Sawyer, the villain named Maro.............in a story that is very much non linear but is very fulfilling by the end! Fabulous job by Misters Williams & Blackman! :)

The art work is by the new team lead by Amy Reeder............she is very very very very good.............but J.H. Williams III art work is why we have a Batwoman! But Amy Reeder I think will make Kate her own eventually! :)

Perhaps it is not the best ish of the series but Kate is as ever a joy to read! ♥

RATING: 8 Stephs out of 10!!!!


Sorry that I did not have a review last week...........I had some trouble getting to a computer to put it all together..........thanx to frequent contributor The Velvet Cyclone for his fill in sketch :*)..........I hope that you all enjoyed this week! *hugs&kisses!* ツ
