From ComicsAlliance’s Sexist Comic Men list (emphasis mine):

17. Midnighter

(The Authority, etc. DC/Wildstorm)

Created by Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch

Illustration by Chris Sprouse



He’s rugged, he’s macho, and his entire wardrobe consists of black leather. Remember when Midnighter was happily married and didn’t have a spike on his chin? Someone needs to slap the walls of the DC universe to bring this sexy back.

I remember those days, those were good times *sigh*.

Apollo should have beat Midnighter, or at least been on the list! also, Nightcrawler should have ranked higher. I don’t care if he’s blue, he’s still sexy. Still, I was happy to see Midnighter and Nightcrawler both made the list!

re your tags, I don’t know if you read the solicits, or if you were talking about the last issue to hit the stands, but he’s back to his old costume as of issue 19. Like, exactly the Bryan Hitch design, coat and all, not a single spike in sight. Then the next cover, he’s all like kicking some aliens in the face, as he should be. Stormwatch is getting a complete overhaul.

sorry, I just have to keep posting that when I see someone pining for the old costume, incase they didn’t realize it’s actually back soon (and Apollo too… mostly. they gave him some arm bands and a belt, but otherwise it’s like Hitch’s design)

We’re not big on the popular term ‘superhero’ here at StormWatch, but if there’s a finer hero on this planet than Nikolas Kamarov here, they’re either lying or Jesus.

Oh, I miss Winter. And this scene was hilarious, there was even more goofy costumes that he tried on, before finally emerging with a stylish Hitch designed costume. It’s cool we’re getting Hellstrike back and all, but Winter was my favorite of the non-Ellis created (I’m sorry, but no one can compare to Jenny Sparks) Stormwatch characters and I would have liked to see him first. ‘Sides, I don’t think DC has any energy absorbers, unless you count several solar powered characters, so he’d bring something unique to the DCU.

Jim Starlin on Stormwatch

Jim Starlin on Stormwatch:

mattkamen:

Great interview with Jim Starlin, incoming writer on DC’s Stormwatch. Surprisingly honest too - “DC editorial pretty universally thought Stormwatch wasn’t working out.”

Unusual but pleasant to see blunt honesty in comics-related journalism.

Yeah, he was incredibly candid, and I appreciated that. No spin, just ‘it wasn’t working out, we’re trying to fix it’

Also some interesting revelations. From the sounds of it, it really is a total reboot, where it’s actually retconning past events. From the solicits, I thought it was kind of a half-reboot, with no retcon, just the current team getting lost in another dimension and their alternates taking their place. This makes it sound like it’s more of a warping of reality, similar to what Pandora did, but on a smaller scale. Though they both have a similar end result, this is even riskier, imo, because it’s harder to go back if THIS doesn’t work out, and will anger the fans who actually liked the earlier Stormwatch issues more, since those events are being erased from continuity. But on the other hand, it means they can still have a connection to the larger DCU as a whole. He SAID they were still secretive, but on the other hand, you have Storm Control *cough*Bendix*cough* wearing an ARGUS helmet, so… (of course, that just makes sense. With all of Stormwatch’s eye/watching imagery, a connection with ARGUS, an organization with a eye logo and named after a figure in Greek myth with a thousand eyes, would make complete sense)

Thirteen-year-old Lauren Rojas decided to send Hello Kitty 100,000 feet into space with a high-altitude balloon. Here are her recorded results.

Science!

FYI: It’s not “space”… but I’ll let this one slide as it’s a Hello Kitty in a little rocket in the stratosphere! Loves it.

Shhhh…no one tell Fox News that the “wedding kiss” picture they’re using to accompany a piece about traditional gender roles is actually of a same sex couple. (MADE MY DAY)

BWHAHA! that’s hilarious.

Another costume change, Beast Boy is green again. All the costume changes are happening at about the same time, Midnighter and Apollo in April, Power Girl and Beast boy in May… I think DC just gave up. :p Unfortunately, all of the Teen Titans are in the same costumes as before.
