5 Comic Ladies I Like Reading: Terra

Oooh, tis the last day of August so I may as well post SOMETHING, and that something is this,

A countdown of my 5 New 52 favourite ladies, I made a haphazard attempt to do my top 10 favourite comic ladies of all time months and months ago and only managed the first entry with Power Girl who may or may not be in this list. 

Moving on, our first favourite Lady of the new 52 is... 

Terra! (yay!)

Now, as a child I'd never heard of the Geokinetic-Teen Wonder that was Terra until I began watching Teen Titan on Cartoon Network where she looked like...

And I LOVED her! But of course she turned evil and then got turned into stone and was never heard from again which, when I began to actually read comics a couple of years back and discovered a similar thing had occurred to her comic counter part I was a little heart-broken, not because she was no longer in universe, but that she's been created solely for the purpose of betraying the Titans and was such a waste of a character.

Then I began to read the Power Girl books and a new Terra showed up looking like...

this:

Some subterranian ambassador to Earth, who had the same abilities but was not evil and decided she would be Power Girl's side-kick (for whatever reason) and I never really took to her, she wasn't as blonde or badass as the Terra I'd known as a kid.

Then came the reboot, with a new set of Teen Titans with their own spin-off; Ravagers.

Where the original Terra showed up looking like this:

Which is ther version I have drawn above, I have high hopes for her this time around!

If they can shove Lois Lane out of the way in favour of Superman pairing up with Wonder Woman then they can make Terra not evil.

Not evil and ass kicking!

Black Canary!

Eeee!

Of all the things I am nerdy about, Black Canary takes the biscuit.

I can't explain why but the most likely things are probably;

-She's female, female super-heroes beat males everytime.

-She has a superpower but prefers not to use it

-She wears fishnets into battle, like a proper lady.

Totally obsessed with the character and she may be the only one who I make an active effort to read all her exploits of. Quite proud of the drawing over all, only took about an hour and the only thing I dont like is the face, colouring faces is a weakness.

Earth-2 Huzzah!

I can't wait! Ahh!

So in May, in the wake of DC canceling some of its less succesful titles such as Hawk & Dove (meh) O.M.A.C (I only know what an O.M.A.C is because of Power-Girl) and Static Shock (yawn) although I will miss Blackhawks, DC have announced the 'Second Wave!' of the new 52 which brings with it new titles, 4 of which grab my attention like a burger grabs the attention of a fat person at 50 yards.

Batman Inc. (Batmen around the world? Cassandra Cain please!) The Ravagers (because the new Teen-Titans is great so far) Earth-2 (Justice Society, YAY!) and most importantly, World's Finest, which focuses on Earth-2's Power-Girl and Huntress who are two of my all time favourite comic-ladies.

So once again, I have drawn Power-Girl, I tried to make her a little chunky, because lets face it, now DC have shrunk Amanda Waller and Etta Candy, its significantly lacking in women who aren't stick-thin.
