Superman #204

[ratcreature]

I've read Superman #204 (written by Brian Azzarello, pencils by Jim Lee, inks by Scott Williams), and I liked it. Okay, it is a bit of trick to start telling your story starting at the end to hook readers so that they wonder what brought the characters there, and Azzarello does it both on the level of this issue, with not revealing for quite some time what the monumental event Superman and the priest were both referring to was (I know I'm kind of vague, but I don't want to spoil), and for the cliffhanger, because we still don't know what Superman did exactly, and I guess the tension will be kept up for a bit in that fashion. But the trick with the narrative structure totally worked. I'm thoroughly hooked.

The art is very much eye candy, the way Superman is often backlit with lots of shadows gives him a great look, and Lee has the iconic poses down pat. Gorgeous.

So naturally I couldn't resist and have icons for your enjoyment, the usual rules apply, comment if you claim one, say if you're willing to share, otherwise the icon belongs to the first person to claim it, and of course you can modify them in any way you want:


01.02.03.04.

05.06.07.08.

09.10.11.12.

13.14.15.16.

17.18.19.20.

Oh, oh, can I have 08, please?

[ratcreature]

Sure. 08 is yours. Glad you found one you like.

[iamza.livejournal.com]

Two. Could I be greedy, and take number 14, too?

[ratcreature]

Sure, you can have 14 too. Greed's better than icons not finding a good home.

Oh, I don't think any of these icons will be looking for homes for long. :-)

*ahahaa* You beat me to it! *steals 4 and 12*

[ratcreature]

Heh. Well, who could resist turning art like that into icons? I guess you'll be busy in the near future posting hundreds of Outsiders icons anyway. ;)

You are NOT lying.

10 is all yours. And yeah, the art is very shiny, and fitting for Superman.

Ooh, #5 please! These are all so beautiful! I love how he kinda... glows :)

Sorry

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

Actually, I meant to ask if I could claim #1 for myself. I'd be willing to share #5 if anyone else wants it too!

Thanks so much :)

Re: Sorry

[ratcreature]

Sure, #1 is yours, and #5 shareable. Enjoy.

[thawrecka]

Damn, those are gorgeous. I'm actually sort of tempted. But I shall resist.

[ladyclio16.livejournal.com]

Ohh, pretty. Can I have 17 and 19?

Thanks in advance.

[ratcreature]

Sure, 17 and 19 are yours.

[ladyclio16.livejournal.com]

Thanks again. I needed some Supes icons.
