the power cosmic

Notice how all Superboy’s fellow students pass out from shock and horror when they see the hideous proportions of his school clothes?

 How unfortunate that Jeff Lemire’s foray into pop-superhero comics is tarnished by art and design like this. 

I’m going to make a push for Jimmy Olsen to be the new mens style icon. This entire look is working in a big way.

Alright, I’m actually enjoying this whole ‘Goblin Cult’, Osborn-worship thing that’s happening but … maybe I’m just way too into Sons of Anarchy, but what self respecting motorcycle club would wear purple leather jackets? You look like a bunch of nancy-boys.

Ppppf. Really, Anya? You’re asking The Invisible Woman how to make friends? I’m sure the first-lady of superhero’s is too polite to tell you that to make friends in high school, you should stop dressing like a 40 year old soccer mom.

Also worth complaining about is the coloring Chris Sotomayor did on Anya’s face here. Girl looks beat-up. Might also be a factor in the friend making department.

Otherwise, I liked the book.

I don’t understand what a woman with so much ‘look’ is doing walking around a mall in Winnipeg. Though the bigger question I guess would be why she is accesorizing her slanty bangs with a slanty dress. Up to something, obviously.

At least she has those excellent shoulder pads. Saving grace.

Alright, apart from the adamantium claws coming out of his hands and the giant knives telekinetically holding him against a wall, this is finally a normal looking teenager!

This is so rare. It’s basically a miracle.

This is Scarlet’s dead boyfriend. He was shot by a crooked cop who assumed, based on appearance, that he was ‘up to something’.

Guy looks legitimately d-list. Accidents happen, I guess.

I don’t care how crazy Aurora can be when she looks this good. That is the shiniest, fullest black mane I have ever seen.

Jessica Jones, what are you wearing? You look like an idiot.

This woman used to be so edgy, conflicted, sexy and chain-smokey. I really miss the days of her beat up old button downs, slightly too big jackets and an always lit smoke while investigating a case. Now she’s gone from PI to mindless suburban housewife.

Just because you had a baby does not mean you have to look like this. This is why people don’t want kids. They don’t want kids because of white poly-blend bootcut slacks with fuchsia t’s.

YES. Kal Kent, Superman of 853,500 AD is all yes. I’m biased of course in that we have the same basic haircut, but that’s an excellent shirt. Well done, Mr. Kent.

Storm, what went wrong? In the early days under the watch of John Byrne, Storms civilian outfits always ranged from sensible to smoking hot depending on her situation. Then she got more acquainted with western culture, shaved her head and was a legit ass-beating punk (and it was awwwwwesome). Now she’s married an African monarch but dresses like your embarrassing Mom showing up to some gala in an unfortunate locally-designed gown.

Is there no middle ground for her? Can we at least throw her into one of those jumpsuits that Tyra Banks insists on wearing for nearly every episode of Top Model? I’m just not buying this tightly wound, soccer-mom at the gala look on a Queen who challenges people to knife fights. And wins.

Please, never wear that dress again. I know you’re supposed to a bookish academic, Laurie but you look like a nine year old and I hate it.

WHY

I firmly believe that men should never, ever wear sandals unless on an actual beach covered in actual sand.
