After last issue’s events, New York’s Times Square is in shambles.  Two dozen people trying to secure the area after the battle died with just a simple thought (“drop dead”) from Psimon.  What more can go wrong?  And, will Raven choose to fight alongside the Teen Titans or side with her father Trigon?  That’s the starting point for issue #20 of Teen Titans, which does a good job of pushing forward the New 52 version of the battle between the Titans and perhaps their most infamous opponent. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD – PLEASE READ THE ISSUE BEFORE MOVING FURTHER! In the aftermath of last issue’s events, Solstice confronts Psimon.  But, before Psimon can utter those devastating words to her, Kid Flash intervenes, pummeling Psimon until being pulled back by Superboy.  Their brief exchange afterward effectively captures Bart’s uncertainty about himself and his place in the Titans.  Raven begins a conversation with the Titans, while Trigon watches from afar.  We learn about Trigon’s own history in the New 52, how he came to this point and why Raven is so important to him and his plans.  We also get a history of Raven and learn a bit about what happened to her after she was delivered to Trigon by the Phantom Stranger.  Whether Raven is truly siding with the Titans or simply using them is something we will still have to see.  As for Trigon, well let’s just say that he doesn’t appreciate his daughter looking for help outside the family.  This story arc is far from over… Scott Lobdell continues to write an excellent story here, with pencils by Eddy Barrows and Patrick Zircher.  Colors are provided by Zircher and by Eber Ferreira.  There was quite a bit of exposition here, but no more than needed to set the stage for what Trigon is planning next.  This is certainly a story arc well worth checking out.  Raven’s new look is beginning to grow on me, and her introduction to the Titans is a definite plus for the series.  I’m glad to see the direction Teen Titans is taking here – it is worth more than a second look.  Don’t miss it!

pivitor: actioncomics: varian-nash84: Justice League - The Flashpoint Paradox (Trailer) well Attention Tumblr User Gorogues, The Top is in this trailer for about two seconds.  Shall I get us a bottle of champagne? FUCK YES (I can’t view this video for some reason, but as of the moment this one works) *more unintelligible noises and screaming*

There’s still no word on when the Flash may be racing onto the big screen, but we now know that another comic book speedster — Marvel’s Quicksilver — will be appearing in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Evan Peters (American Horror Story) has been cast as the son of Magneto, as reported by CBR. Joss Whedon recently confirmed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are in the Avengers 2 script (which is in much earlier stages). According to spinoff, the characters are available to both studios (Marvel and Fox), so his appearance in one franchise doesn’t prevent him from appearing in the other. The post Quicksilver Cast in X-Men: Days of Future Past appeared first on Speed Force.

One of my all-time favorite pieces I've ever run for the Aquaman Art Gallery feature, this stunning piece is by Tom Kelly (no relation). It's so simple, but is instantly recognizable as Aquaman.Click over to Kelly's DeviantArt page to see a bigger version and more of his work!

flyingcubs: A coloured version of my Legion of Doom sketch.  Some of these designs by the way are influenced by Alex Ross’s versions of the characters.  In the end I vectorised the sketch in illustrator and coloured it in with live paint, though I feel like I depend on this too often these days.

he-smiled-like-a-weatherman: Okay, um… this is the picture that I did today which I’m really proud of. It’s Owen… Yeah… I worked really hard, and didn’t use any references at all, and I just feel really really good about it. Nice job :)

ohhicas: I did have time to doodle though, once the crowd died and before

Warner Bros. has released a new app which allows Superman fans to become descendants of Krypton by creating their very own personalized Glyph shield. Based on the answers to a series of questions, the Glyph Creator app builds a shield which represents the user's Krptonian identity and provides a first name in Kryptonian.

In a recent interview with SFX Magazine, "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill talked about the possibility of a Superman/Batman movie and how he would be interested in seeing it become a reality. "I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict," he tells SFX, "because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. I think that would make a great story."
