I've been lax with my Friday Night Fights lately. Would you believe I had trouble finding really good female contenders? But I got a good one tonight!
I present to you, Princess Leia Organa-Solo (nee Skywalker).
Latent Jedi powers + her father's temper + a lightsaber = somebody's gonna get his hand chopped off.
From 'The Other' by Jason Hall & John McCrea collected in Star Wars Tales vol. 4 (Dark Horse, 2004)
No. No snappy captions or anything. Just keep staring at Black Widow's derriere. Take your time.
Updated: Round 6 has been postponed till next week. Bahlactus has spoken.
And right after this fight, she jumps Batman's bones. The little minx.All-Star Batman and Robin vol. 1 by Miller and LeeOn Bahlactus' homeworld, cracking jaws is foreplay.
Continuing DGR's look at some of the INVASION! tie-ins and since it's Friday, let's combine it with Ladies Night at Bahlactus'!
Animal Man is about to get maced by a practically naked winged lady in thigh high boots and heels. No wonder he's scared shitless.
The cover is a bit misleading though (and as a comic cover, I suppose being misleading is the whole point). Most of the book is about a male Thanagarian artist with a death wish. He wants to die in the name of art so he plants a time bomb that he hopes will destroy the west coast of the United States. No, seriously.
The hawkwoman's job is to run interference in case any heroes are around.
Naked hawkwoman dies when Buddy Baker pulls her wings off, suicide hawkman drops dead after he sets the timer on the bomb and Buddy Baker cries like a little girl because he doesn't know how to switch it off.
Enter the Hawkman as a deus ex machina and saves the day (and the west coast) on the very last page. Read this comic and chances are you'll end up saying the same thing I did when I first read it: "WTF, Grant Morrison?!"
Well, this is it. Possibly the final bout of Friday Night Fights ever. Although I hope the mighty Bahlactus will stick around and host more fights at his crib, who am I to stop him if he decides to visit other worlds for more exotic contenders? In the meantime, here's DGR's representative to tonight's "Ladies Night" smackdown: Lady Jaye vs. Zarana.
The story so far: The civil war on Cobra Island had just ended with the army of the new Cobra Commander victorious and Serpentor dead. The Joes, who were ordered to side with Serpentor, now face the embarrassing task of asking for a truce from their enemy while they evacuate their personnel off the island. Zarana, meanwhile, can't help herself:
Oh, it is on, bitch!
Their male colleagues gather round watching the two women duke it out while crimson coloured sound effects hover over their heads.
A draw?? Bah! Still, an all out fight between two under used female characters in the G.I. Joe comic? Thank you, Larry Hama! Too bad Marshall Rogers was pencilling. There's just something wrong with his style. He made them all look short.
Anyway, seven issues later, somebody wrote in to say how disappointed they were at the degrading portrayal of women in comics:
No more girl fights? Bahlactus would not approve!
