Panel 1
(Exterior of an office building, music notes are floating out of a window.)
Caption: The following day...

Panel 2
(Inside the office, Miss Match looks distressed, covering her ears. Lightning Lady is also covering her ears. Through a glass window, Jeremy is seen playing a clarinet for Cassie Cruz, who sits at her desk.)
Miss Match: What’s that horrible noise?!

Panel 3
(Miss Match and Lightning Lady continue covering their ears in agony.)
Miss Match: Jeremy has been playing for Cassie for hours!

Panel 4
(Close-up of Miss Match and Lightning Lady, both wincing from the sound.)
Miss Match: This is terrible!
Lightning Lady: Tell me about it...

Panel 5
(Inside Cassie’s office, Jeremy enthusiastically plays the clarinet, with music notes filling the air. Cassie sits at her desk, looking unimpressed. A cobra in a basket, presumably meant to be charmed, looks just as miserable.)
Lightning Lady (off-panel, in a thought box): Just our luck we got a tone-deaf cobra!

DC June covers

Look What’s Big In June…And A Sinestro Corps Cover, Too

DC is previewing two big covers for two big projects that are scheduled to ship in June.

[NEWSARAMA] We’ve gotten our hands on two covers form major DC projects coming in June: Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special (via the cover to the forthcoming Previews) and Justice League of America #10, which writer Brad Meltzer has just posted.

While we’ll have more soon from Geoff Johns on the Sinestro Corps Special, Meltzer said the following about the cover to JLA #10:

“As promised, here’s the first look at Michael Turner’s cover for JLA #10, the final chapter of the JLA/JSA crossover. And yes, this will fit together with the two previous covers. And yes, we don’t have the cover for 8 yet. And yes, this is AFTER we asked to reduce Power Girl’s chest. I call them the bottled cities of Kandor.


OK. I have to say it. I have no problem with large breasts in comics. Heck. Just look at Lightning Lady. And I know that it helps sell the comic. Look at the covers of my books. But that JLA cover… That’s just ridiculous, man!

And he says that this illustration was after they asked them to reduce the breasts! What did they look like before? Was it one of those variant cover deals where two covers get put together to form a large image?

“Hey I got the Power Girl cover!”

“Loser. I got her breasts.”

Regarding the Sinestro Corps: PLEASE DON’T SUCK!
