Is there a reason why Ares is barefoot, and his feet are covered in blood at that, or is that just his thing? I am looking at Ares in the Touching Panels thread and I did not see the bloody feet there.

It's just his thing. All the gods in Wonder Woman have weird traits (and it's great). Ares seems to have fallen on hard times and just somehow gained bloody feet that no one questions in the interim since #0. I mean, the last time he showed up, he was poo poo talking the gods to their faces while drinking cheap booze out of a brown bag.

Ares has been on a pub crawl through active warzones for most of the series.

Nah, Hephaestus looks like this in WW:


Anyway, on to funny things. The new Batman & Robin Annual is all about Damian sending Bruce on a globetrotting adventure finding out stuff about his parents. There's a lot of touching stuff in there. But there's also a lot of funny stuff. Like for example, the first spot on the trip happens to be a hotel in London. As it turns out, the manager is one of Alfred's buddies from his pre-butler days as an actor. So that gets Alfred thinkin' about the good ol' days.

Then this happens:



So Bruce leaves Alfred in London and takes off. Then at the end of the story, Bruce (and Damian) come back to pick him up and... catch a little entertainment.




Frankly, I'm with Damian. Two Gentlemen of Verona is one of Shakespeare's worst plays.

I think there was a storyline in X-Factor where one of Jamie's dupes managed to start his own life and I don't remember the conclusion but I think it was to let him live it and not reabsorb him.

You are not wrong; I'm just relating the stories as we see them in the sources we have. However, in the Iliad, Zeus reproves Ares for being a horrible, ruinous rear end in a top hat, and Homer wasn't even kind of Athenian.



Of course, Ares gets a better rap as Mars among the Romans, for whom he's the grandfather of their traditional founder, although this added dignity can also be attributed to his role as more of an agricultural god prior to his syncretization with Ares.

Is that implying that Ares's a bastard son?

Hmm? No, not at all. Ares is definitely one of Zeus's relatively few legitimate children, and I'm not sure what I said that seems otherwise.

But if you want to continue this discussion, it should probably be in the DC thread or Derailed, I suppose.

The creators are choosing to end it. Supposedly Image and Liefeld offered to let them continue, but they both decided they wanted to bring it to a natural conclusion instead of outstaying their welcome. And Ross Campbell probably wants to go back to doing his own stuff.

I really hope they can reunite and do like a three-issue mini or something one day. :(

Apparently I have terrible timing. Good to hear that it wasn't cancelled midway at least.

∨ Edit: holy crap, that interview :stare:

quote:

My idea was that Glory's dad, Silverfall, is hunting her, right? So Glory's like "My dad is gunning for us, we have to come up with a plan!" So Glory, she's 800 years old and has all these friends, gets a farm with all these cows and starts up a dairy farm, and she and her friends dress like dairy farmers. That's their cover, and they have this dairy business on the side, and they secretly train in the barn for this war where Glory's going to wage war on her dad. But meanwhile, she's going around the globe recruiting all these other warriors that she knows or comes across or whatever, but she can't have a farm with all these mystical warriors running around, right? So she uses some magic spell or demon science or whatever to house the warriors' forms within the cows, so the cows are actually these mystical warriors that seem to be regular dairy cows. So they milk them, like you do with cows, and they make ice cream and stuff, but they're really these mystical warriors. So Glory's like "Silverfall's going to find us eventually, but when he does, I just hit my magic button and all the cows take on these warrior traits and become a cow warrior army."

Mars Attacks the Transformers is a delight from start to finish. Here's a samplin':

The Martians have trapped both the Autobots and Decepticons in a force field, and they hit on the plan on hooking Soundwave up to Blaster to wipe it out.

Later, Megatron has been shrunk "to the size of a small girl's plaything" and Starscream takes advantage of this opening.
