→ Play The Interactive Version!

The nifty interactive version was coded by my friend @mentalguy. Or if you to print it out, download the PDF (page 1 / page 2).

The Modern Superhero Comic Event Picker was inspired by an episode of the 3 Chicks Review Comics podcast in which they joked about someone making a “grim n gritty wheel.” I decided to give it a shot, but it ended up transforming into a modern age gimmick generator — because what is grim n gritty now, other than another gimmick?

This is so amazing guys. Inspired by something Sue and I were talking about on an old episode of 3 Chicks (specifically regarding the nu 52) Kate  took us to heart and HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK.

So fun.

STUNNING!  These practical superheroine redesigns by Meredith McClaren are just to die for. I love how fashionable they are, how much they take into consideration the real world, there’s a practicality and function that is nevertheless completely badass. They’re also so far away from “basic catsuit” type stuff that it all feels so damn new and fresh!I mean…Look at that freaking Zatanna! I’ve never seen anything like that!

AND, you’ll be able to buy the original line art for some of these as she releases rewards this week for her AWESOME KICKSTARTER…although you guys are going to have to fight me for that Catwoman.

OK, last one for the day, I promise. Kickstarter was unreasonably good to us at Lady Sabre today.

Let’s see if we can’t get Kickstarter to be just as good to Meredith McClaren and get her webcomic into print. She’s remarkably talented, the comic is delightful, and, in the interests of full-disclosure, she’s drawing the new Hopeless-Savages story that @hopelessjen wrote. That last part is not nearly as important as the first two.

As Turhan’s Bey Company is wont to say “Dammit Kickstarter!”.

I can’t really say Christine Spar is the sort of character you could unabashedly call a “hero,” but that’s what sets her apart. She takes up the identity of Grendel initially to strike back at the people who took her son from her, and while that’s noble enough as motives go, the bloody history associated with the mask (which she was already a part of even before she put it on) start catching up with her and taking over her life.But rather than accept or run from the people pushing her, she pushes back—hard. What she does subsequent can’t be called purely heroic (if it all) and hers is a pretty brutal story, but she’s an amazing character—one you can sympathize with, understand to an extent, admire for her strength and be a little shocked at what happens when she finally lets her strength dictate her actions and what became a rescue mission turns into a mission of vengeance and a mission of vengeance turns into a campaign of terror, because she isn’t about to let anyone trample over her life.  If you haven’t read it, it’s pretty great (a little dated and VERY 80’s) read —probably the best and most successful Grendel arc.
