Misfits #8: Comics

I've been slacking off a bit when it comes to comics posts. The last one was back in...January. So, to make up for that, today's post is a Misfits special edition featuring nothing but comic pics.

First up is a great pic of Aquaman by Jesus Saiz from Brave and The Bold #33.

Mon-El strikes a Superman-like figure in this two-page spread by Bernard Chang from Superman #696.

Jean-Claude shows his stuff on the cover of the first issue of the next Anita Blake series by Brett Booth.

Next, here are two scans from Flash: Rebirth #6 by Ethan Van Sciver.

A long while back, someone requested pics of the Marvel hero Speedball (aka Penance). Well, I finally found a decent pic of him in Avengers: The Initiative #33 with art by Jorge Molina.

Mark Bagley, one of my favorite artists after his run on Ultimate Spider-Man, did the pencils for the cover and single interior scan from JLA #41.

I like John Cassaday's cover for The Lone Ranger #20. The guy in the pic is actually The Lone Ranger's friend Tonto.

This post concludes with three scans from Justice League: Rise and Fall Special. The first two spotlight Green Arrow from the front and the back. The third scan seems to be tailor-made for a certain blog. The credits for this comic list three different people for pencils but no page numbers. As such, I don't know who actually did these pages.

This concludes another Misfits post. Another manga/anime heavy Misfits post will be coming up in a couple of weeks. And don't forget...All-Request Week 2010 begins Monday.

Di[e]ce

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

Di[e]ce is a manga series written by Saki Otoh and illustrated by Yamamoto Kana. It seems to be about two guys with the same birthday who find their fates intertwined. At least that's what I got from the page on Baka-Updates.

Even if I don't know a lot about the manga, I do know that Yamamoto's artwork is gorgeous. Also, it looks as though this title has yet to be licensed for release in America. Enjoy some more pics from the manga below.

Mass Effect 2: Commander Shepard

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

HFG returns to the world of Mass Effect 2 with a post focusing on the main character, Commander Shepard (the male version, of course). This is an interesting character to cover because his appearance can be altered by the player. From what I understand, you can't change too much but I did try to avoid the homelier Shepards I've seen out there.

All of the pics in the post are either screencaps from YouTube videos or official art. It's unfortunate that (as far as I know) we never see Shepard with his shirt off like we do Jacob Taylor.

Even More Hakuoki

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

It's time to once again feature the hot Shinsegumi guys of the Hakuoki series of otome games, featuring artwork by Kazuki Yone.

Quite a few of the pics this time around come from the 2010 calendar for the games and other sources. One pic is from a poster advertising the new anime adaptation premiering in April.

It's very likely that the next Hakuoki post on HFG will feature art from the anime exclusively.

All-Request Week 2010 is Coming!

Although it's later than last year, All-Request Week 2010 is coming soon! This year, it's going to be the second week of April, beginning Monday April 5th (the day after Easter). I know there's a lot of great stuff out there that I'm missing so this is your chance to let me know about it.

The rules are really simple once again. You can request just about anything as long as it isn't porn and you don't ask me to post a complete comic book or complete manga. You can request stuff that has never been on the site before or stuff that's been posted before. I'll try to do at least five posts during All-Request Week and any requests that aren't granted during that week will still likely get posted later.

I'm putting out the call pretty early this time because it can sometimes take a while to gather enough pics. If you already have pics, feel free to send them to me.

You can send requests to me via e-mail (lagosta2700 at aim dot com), comments on this post, or comments in the shoutbox. I'm not limiting the amount of requests this time around but know that I'll only post one request per person during the actual All-Request week. If you want me to include your name with your request (or not) let me know.

Thanks to all who enjoy HFG and I hope to receive your requests soon!

The Guys of Hot Wheels Battle Force 5

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

A while back, I did a short post about Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5, the latest CG Hot Wheels series airing in America on Cartoon Network. Now, it's time to actually showcase the guys.

One of the things I like about this show is that there's quite literally a guy for everybody. The all-American Vert, the lithe Asian Zoom, the cocky English guy Stanford, the little and goofy Spinner, and his linebacker-sized brother Sherman. Add to that the fact that their uniforms are a cross between superhero, Power Ranger, and football player and you see why I watch every week.

Most of the pics in this post are screencaps from the show, with the exception of the one above, which is actually a scan I did. I took way too many caps of the show, so in addition to the standard image archive, there is a bonus one with a lot more pics. You'll find links to both at the end of the post.
