I’m ahead of the game! I’ve built a small buffer of mash-ups and I actually finished the colouring of one of them over the weekend instead of right before this normally goes up! Let’s get right to it then!

Zatanna is a magic-wielding human who masquerades as a stage magician. She’s pretty good at slinging spells too. She casts them by speaking backwards, which I think works better when you see it on the comic page then if you were hearing her say the words backwards.

So that’s who Mina got this time around. I’m pretty pleased with how the posing turned out.

That’s all for this week. Who will Mina be next? You know when you can find out. You know where you can find out. So come back then and you’ll find out!

Easter Monday Is For Napping Apparently…

Hello there! Welcome back to the blog. What’s there to say this week?

I’m on the tail end of a four day weekend. It feels like I spent most of it sleeping as every time I sat down on the couch to watch ANYTHING I fell asleep. The sad part is I don’t feel rested at all. Oh well, back to work tomorrow.

I sneaked in a couple of games of Quarriors last night. That was fun.

I wanted to hit Target once before they closed doors for good here in Canada. Apparently, I missed the closing by a couple of hours. No liquidation specials for me. I found some Skylanders on sale at Toys R Us and EBGames so I didn’t come home empty handed. The Eon’s Elite figures were 66% off. I wasn’t planning on buying them but with those saving I picked up the four they had in stock (Spyro, Chop Chop, Trigger Happy and Terrafin). I’ll need to see if I can find the other four to round things out.

For those of you who don’t visit Facebook, I did a quick piece of Skitter as the Atom for a Superhero Facebook Pic Request. Here he is.

That about covers it for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday! Carja V.

Hello and good Wednesday! Let us get to the best part of Wednesday, the mash-up! WOO!

This time it’s a quick little jaunt back to the DC Universe. As always, keep your limbs inside the cabin at all times. You can get a close-up by clicking on the picture.

I struggled mightily trying to pick a character for Chae this week. Because her fur is so dark I wanted a costume that was bright for contrast and hesitatingly chose Star Girl. I’m not going to lie, after I’d finished, I wasn’t super stoked with the results. Oh well. She’s not terrible or anything, just…off.

That’s all for this week. Skitter already had his DC mash-up back with Zoë so next week is gonna be something different. Find out what next Wednesday!

Hello flashback fans! Welcome to the penultimate edition of Flashback Friday. After this week, there’s only one flashback to go. Before we get there, let’s enjoy this week’s edition.

This week is the last of the DC flashbacks. As always, click on a picture so you can see an enlarged view.

Nektara is closing the superhero theme as Wonder Bear. As I did with the other DC flashbacks, I chose a different costume for the flashback. Because they worked so well before, I went with the New 52 universe version. In all honesty, this isn’t one of my best, but I don’t think it’s horrible or anything. I just don’t like the way her bottom half turned out.

Wonder-Bear

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. I’d always considered the original Wonder Woman mash-up to be the weakest of that theme. Even if the remake isn’t as good as I would have liked, it’s still leagues better (see what I did there?) than the original.

And that’s all for this week. Next week is the last of the Star Wars mash-ups. Come by next Friday to see who’s closing things out!

Flashback Friday – Shazam!

Greetings flashback fans! Welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday! Let’s dive right in!

S is for the wisdom of Solomon
H is for the strength of Hercules
A is for the stamina of Atlas
Z is for the power of Zeus
A is for the courage of Achilles
M is for the speed of Mercury

When young Billy Batson says the magic word, he’s granted these powers and transforms from a 12-year-old boy into Captain Marvel (who for legal reasons is now often just called Shazam). Now Big Oonch does too! Here he is wearing the New 52 version of the costume which I chose mostly because of the hood.

Shazam

I saved a version without the lightning bolt hitting.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. As you can see, the hood makes a big difference.

That’s all for this week folks. Todrick is back next week and he’s in the mood for mischief! See you next Friday for the reveal!
