Young Justice: Five Years Later

The second season of Young Justice premiered last Saturday.  The new season takes place five years after the end of the first season.  Dick Grayson (who was Robin last season) is now Nightwing and, as you can see above, time has been very good to him. There's no sign of Wally, Red Arrow/Speedy, or current banner guy Kaldur yet. However, we do get to see Tim Drake as Robin.

More screencaps from "Happy New Year" are below.

 

 

 

   

Artist Spotlight: Joe Jusko 90's Flashback

 
Today's post is a trip back to the early 1990's with Joe Jusko, an artist whose artwork has been featured here before.  Marvel Masterpieces was a series of trading cards with art by Jusko.  The artwork was collected in a collection of books called The Marvel Masterpieces Collection, which is where the pics in today's post come from.

Check out more artwork below.

 

 

DRAMAtical Murder

DRAMAtical Murder (abbreviated as DMMd) is a visual novel from Nitro+Chiral, the company behind Togainu no Chi, Lamento, and Sweet Pool.  Unlike their other games, this one takes place in the future and involves, among other things, a virtual world.  


Another thing that sets it apart from Nitro+Chiral's other works is the slightly brighter color palette.  I especially like the abundance of blue in the design of the main character. 

There may be some spoilers in the art below. 

 

 

 

 

Dat Spider-Man: A Micropost

Today's post is a single scan from Avenging Spider-Man #5.  Leinil Francis Yu provides the art.  It has to be a coincidence that the final line from the preceding page is Peter saying "What's everyone looking at?"  Right?

Rurouni Kenshin

It's been four years since I last posted pics from the manga/anime series Rurouni Kenshin. Why I waited so long to revisit this, I'll never know.  Enjoy the rest of the pics below.

 

Luther Strode's Hidden Talent: A Micropost

The Strange Talent of Luther Strode is a miniseries by Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore about a teenager who becomes an assassin.  It's ultraviolent and a lot of fun to read. 

The last issue came out recently and it contained a great pinup by Mike Rooth.  Check it out below:

Just One Kiss: A Micropost

Today's post is a single scan from Avengers: The Children's Crusade #9.  It features Wiccan and Hulkling, the popular couple from Young Avengers.  Pencils are by Jim Cheung.

Uta no Prince-sama

Uta no Prince-sama is an otome visual novel and anime series.  Similar to La Corda d'Oro, the show revolves around a girl going to a music school.  Unlike the school on that show, it's a training ground for wannabe idols and songwriters.  All the teachers are former idols and romantic relationships between male and female students are forbidden (cue the yaoi fans).

What makes Uta no Prince-sama stand out are the colorful character designs and the fact that (spoiler alert) the six guys become a boy band called Starish (with a star for the "a"). A second season of the anime has been announced.
