This issue was certainly an improvement from the last but I'm not ready to start picking this book up again just yet. But here's what would get me to think twice about that. Find some way to introduce Bronze Tiger into the series at this point and have him save the Squad's collective asses which would have to include a show down between Bronze Tiger and Black Spider. Maybe Black Spider is killed by BT or manages to survive the fight and make a ninja like get away and vow revenge just like Ravan from the Ostrander series?
Or better yet Black Spider is captured and taken back to face Waller. He would be so fucked! But, I suspect all that is too much to hope for however. I imagine Yo-Yo will probably show up again instead. No offense to Yo-Yo I actually kind like the character but he's just no Bronze Tiger. So what do you all think you like my idea here?

It could work.
ReplyDeleteSpider could become one of those recurring villains that show their face everyonce in a while. a thorn in the side. You know.
As long as they Keep Boomerang :)
I would like to know if he voluntered to the doble-agent job, or if he was forced by Waller. What is her leverage on him. I don't think it is an explosive in the neck. Is main goal on the other universe, acording to Johns, was getting money. Is it still the same here? Or is it other thing, naming his child. Any one noticed Harkeness had Brown hair and Owen was Red, Now Harkness is Red? Is he a mix of both characters?
Who is Waller's lover, that she talked on the phone on those first issues? That I'd like very much to know. Could it be Bronze Tiger? Could it be (Gasp!)Harkness?
Eheheheh...... (evil laugh)
Great pictures Randomnerd! That Green Arrow is impressive! I almost was waiting for him to shoot that arrow!
You look amazing as Black Widow! That suit is incredible and suits you very much! The girl in Sue Storm suit was great too. Did you made the suits?
Thanks Aliera! I didn't make all of the Black Widow suit, the only piece I completely made from scratch was the belt, because no one makes a Black Widow belt like the one in the comics, and I always thought that was part of her charm. The rest I pieced together with some stuff I already had and stuff I searched for. The bracelets were probably the hardest to find. Sue Storm my friend actually bought off of a sight and just added her white go go boots and a blond wig. She wanted a superhero she could go as while being pregnant and have it be plausible. Also, she had her son with her most of the day, and he was running around in a 4 1/2 t-shirt. Although that didn't last long, due to two year old and spilling things. The Green Arrow in that shot was actually facing off against the Predator you saw in the other, so it was bow against giant sword thing. It was pretty awesome. I definitely want to go again next year.
Deletecome to think of it Aliera would make a good Sue Storm too. and unless i miss my guess you are a natural blond correct?
Deletei guess you can disregard my question about your friend in my email Random. i had no idea that was a wig was wearing so what's her hair really like?
That depends. At the moment she has blue green in the front and dark brown almost black in the back. But it varies.
DeleteI've also painted my hair many colours already. I'm originaly a blond but right now I'm a light brown. It suits my light tanning. I would have to use a wig too :)
DeleteMy friend has a couple now, including a red one for a Poison Ivy she did when I was Harley once. We've been doing that duo since we were in Junior High together. She says to not skimp when buying the wigs, because you'll only regret it later, Aliera. She bought a cheap one once, and it kept falling off and getting messed up.
DeleteExactly! Me, you and Shlomo could write this book. Or take out what we don't like on Adam's book and fill in the blanks right hear on this blog.
DeleteThaaat would be epic OA!
DeleteRandom, I never bought one for me, but I worked in Oncology. There are some amazing wigs. Even I, didn't noticed imidiately they were wigs, and I should have known that, those people couldn't really have that hair. Those wigs were beautiful.
I'm in favor of anything that brings BT back in, and having him save all of them would be a hoot. Especially in a series where the characters aren't known for their gratefulness. I'm with Aliera, I want to know why Boomerang is there, and who is on the other end of the line.
ReplyDeleteI hope that will be well answered. There is room for this story to grow.
DeleteAll in favor say I. Can't you just see BT saving the group and they try to stone him?
DeleteGreat outfit, cos play is the best. Tell me there's more Batmoblile pics hiding out somewhere. And did you sting cobra Commander, if not you should have.
I. Totaly.
DeleteNo, he was always walking the other way. I did threaten to steal a couple hammers from two different Harley's. And say "Hello Sweetie" a really good Dr. Who.
Deletethe hammer would have been a great trophy to add to the rest of your spoils of war.
DeleteA BT vs BS showdown would be interesting, but i honestly don't think we are there yet. I mean, wouldn't it be weird for BT to just show up from nowhere?
ReplyDeleteI am just glad Boomer is back, and that the other chars where sleeper agents... maybe Deadshot gets to kill some of them XD
I am just concerned about 2 things.... 1- Where on earth is Deadshots stache? I mean he said he was gonna grow one... and we still got nothing! 2- Is the assassin about to "kill" Waller in a BS costume? Who is the "REAL" BS then?
Cheers and great post!
thanks for the comment rasdel83 and welcome back. for me it could never be too early to bring BT into the series. after all were on issue 12 now and it seems that finding a clever way to write him into the story line in issue 13 or 14 wouldn't be that difficult for Adam Glass. as for the rest of your questions your guess is as good as mine so i guess time will tell. the question is how much time?
Deleteas for Deadshot shooting some of his team mates i wouldn't mind him killing off Iceberg any time now. i don't find him at all interesting and he's been pretty much just dead weight on the team since he first appeared in the series.
I actually would like Deadshot to kill some of them :D
DeleteHe won't kill King Shark after all that conversationa about him being a god or something.
I didn't noticed the BS costume at Waller's! I have to go read it again.
I kind of like the idea of Deadshot being a Godslayer. That would be a cool title to add.
Delete^______^ Cool sounding, yes.
DeleteYou know me Shlomo, I'd love to see BT as well, but damn I'm very concerned on how it would be done. I just don't trust Glass to do it right, eve if this issue was better than the last 11 he's done, and really, that's not saying too much.
ReplyDeleteGlad Sir Dinkum is back though. Hopefully he'll stay awhile, otherwise thanks for showing up, and here's your prize:)
Black Spider huh? I like this version's costume, but still think the old one was better.
Nice job on the cos-outfits too by the way.
The 1966 Batmobile, man I would have ran over there and jumped in that guy. Randomnerd, girl thanks for sharing these pictures wish I could have been there, jumped in some pictures with you guys, put Mr. 4 1/2 on my neck and we attacked the Predator (or green arrow who knows) but it looked like you guys had fun.
ReplyDeleteShlomo my dude, BT vs Black Spider would be a great intro into the new Squad book. And perfect timing. It looks like Blk Spider is about to assassinate Waller's mom who looks sort of like the real Waller; is she? And if she is, is the new Waller really Havannah? So many questions.
My chin dropped on that. Could that person not be Amanda Waller?
DeleteThe mom is her exact image :)
hey OA1, it's about bloody time you showed for this posting :) you've got a copy of #12 why don't you post a detailed review for us on the BT blog?
Deletefeeling a little pooped out, but I'd do something if Aliera and Randomnerd joined the Tiger cage.
Delete(It's bad when you have to resort to bribery):(
awww. I didn't even see this, and I went over there. You don't have to bribe anyone Agent O.
