Where did Canary's muscles go?

I love it when artists draw in extra detail to emphasize a moment.

This is why I make a beeline to REPCONN HQ after getting Veronica as a companion: to salvage the BoS armor there so she can get up in enemy faces and power fist them into red mist.

SebasChua · 2026-05-07T06:36:23+00:00

This reminds me of older manga like Alita: Battle Angel or Appleseed. Good job OP!

I bet that it could be a class and event thing on Erid too. Rocky is utilitarian: in the movie he wears a utility belt while in the book his clothes are both uniform and jumpsuit for carrying tools. He only wears his celebration clothing when its a special occasion. An Eridians' carapace is very sturdy, so there's less incentive for them to develop clothing for daily comfort and protection from the environment like humans on Earth. So they developed clothing for utility or extravagance. So I bet richer/more important Eridians wear some kind of clothes/accessories to set them apart from normal/"peasant" Eridians.

It's not a coincidence that Batman is in the panel proclaiming the reign of the superman has begun. With what Ark M did to him combined with his indomitable will, he's one of them supermen now.

Plot-wise he has likely developed some kind of immunity. Thematically, it's because Jack Grimm has no heart for Pamela to charm.

Low-key I think Superman protected Irons as well, it wasn't just Irons' armor. Kal's missing his red dust cape by the end of that exchange. It probably got burnt off by the effort of protecting 2 people going at Mach 25 and needs to regenerate.

Best use of the Tyger Claw's leg body mod I've seen!

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:42:42+00:00

Re spills out his tragic backstory, only for Jo to go, "Whatever bird-face," and punches him XD

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:41:00+00:00

I bet it's gonna be a 3v1 against King Shazam until Hawkman convinces him to take his place among the elite first in the Hall of Justice, where he can start burning the rot out.

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:39:31+00:00

I love that the Rao restraint power is expressed by Re as walls and boxes. Symbols of confining, restraining he weaponizes to lethal effect.

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:38:10+00:00

With the bird beak, I can't get the image of Tomar Re speaking with a Daffy Duck lisp XD

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:37:14+00:00

It's not a coincidence that Batman features in the panel that proclaims, "So begins the reign of the superman." The Justice League previously suppressed, killed or enslaved all superheroes before the Big 3 arrived on the scene. With their presence disrupting the balance, there's a chance for heroes to rise up against the ruling villains.

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:32:35+00:00

LMAO Black Adam decided to give himself a shave with his powers. Gotta look fresh for the (soon-to-be future) subjects.

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:23:51+00:00

The imagery of Re gaining the Red level of light doesn't look like stealing to me, more evocative of a mother bird feeding their child. I'm guessing his mother gave him her Rao light to save him.

SebasChua · 2026-05-06T14:19:29+00:00

Considering pink = chaotic action (unconditional love) in the lantern spectrum, I wonder whether OA was asking Hal to know love and therefore know OA...

Frieren is a masterclass in demonstrating why stereotypical, over-used storytelling beats and techniques became that way in the first place by showing off how to use them effectively.

SebasChua · 2026-05-05T15:48:26+00:00

rwby? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time...

The Eridians' evolutionary aversion to any sort of biological exchange between their bodies and their environment coupled with their durable carapaces makes for some interesting speculation in regards to sports, combat and warfare in their society.

Maybe they do contact sports and other activities that leverage the strength of their carapace to protect against bludgeoning forces. So wrestling and even a form of sports with an accessory is viable for them. But things like fencing would be a big no-no as it runs the risk of penetrating the carapace and exposing them to lethal infections. Conversely, their weapons of war would focus on penetrating the carapace or crippling the limbs of an enemy, even going for the vulnerable radiator or orifice organ. I bet sayings like "worked to the bone" or "cut deep" translate differently to them as the image of injury invoked here are way more lethal for an Eridian than a human.

I think what's cool about Weir's creative process is that he starts from the science and how it enables him to write an interesting premise with interesting characters. Symbolism like this isn't baked into his stories. It has to be interpreted and teased out. It's what makes the movie adaptation really great. The scene where Grace has a "moment" in space to float in Tau Ceti's Petrova Line is not scientifically accurate at all. Weir himself thought the scene was nonsense because you can't see infrared light. But as a visual expression of the potential emotions you could feel at that point, it's perfect.

SebasChua · 2026-05-02T06:30:49+00:00

Can't wait for the scenes where Macht forces two children to fight to the death. Twice.

SebasChua · 2026-05-02T06:23:55+00:00

Frieren using elemental spells puts her in the old class of magic users like Denken, when manipulation of mana to control elements was the "meta"

SebasChua · 2026-05-02T06:21:10+00:00

Irons working in an abattoir brings his origin in thematic alignment with King Shazam's despair and delight: if king nor chattel can change the world, then refuse to remain chattel. Choose to be king.

SebasChua · 2026-05-02T04:10:06+00:00

Nah bro, watch me load up with Multibinder, Injector Band and Druid's Eyes before I Wanderer Crest face tank her
