Mighty Endowed? Mighty Disappointing!

So... long, long ago I heard tale of a character who sounded quite amusing - called Might Endowed. The backstory is pretty generic - and from the name of the character and what I'm about to show you - it should be fairly obvious that it's all tongue in cheek too but basically, archaeologist touches artefact and cut away! When we cut back, there's a big blue crystal - cue Impulse sticking his head in and this:


Yes, Nina Dowd - it IS a DC tradition - has become the inexplicable catgirl MIGHTY ENDOWED... except... well, we can't really see any endowments mighty or otherwise because of the smoke but - that's probably just because she's facing away, right? I mean, we're just about to get an awesome reveal to justify her name... they aren't going to gyp us on that! Surely not!



Yes, apparently that dust/gas/whatever was boob blocking... which makes the whole thing with her name and the gag about her overbalancing ENTIRELY POINTLESS and entirely process free! It's not even as if she's naked, it seems pretty obvious in addition to transforming her into a catgirl and giving her huge boobs, she also got some kind of suit... So, yes - two whole pages of Mighty Endowed apparently inspired some limited fandom and mythos and that's ALL there is. Unless someone can show me otherwise, these are the only two pages of her... making Enorma Rae and Red Monika fans positively rational by comparison!

On comics... what would it be without me talking about She-Hulk... as many have lamented, despite this being her 30th year she has been MIA for several months now and we've had Lyra and She-Rulk filling in for the gamma powered femme quota - she's set to return shortly but in the interim there are two (non-canon) appearances for the jade giantess.

The most immediate is the somewhat delayed 30th anniversary issue of Sensationally She-Hulk, written by PAD... who is doing a tribute to the guy who made She-Hulk the (relatively) popular character she is today, John Byrne. Which means that the 4th wall pretty much doesn't exist... I was not the biggest fan of the 4th wall breaking adventures that she had under his auspices but the preview in the above link had me cracking up.

The other non-canonical outing for Jennifer is Her-oes... because, this is the YEAR OF WOMEN... and so, Marvel has to hammer that home by having titles like that and Girl Comics... because otherwise you might not KNOW it's for people of a female persuasion. Anyway, the gist is that it's a bunch of female heroines - Wasp, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Namora - are all at high school together and pretending not to have powers... the difference being that "Jenny" Walters apparently has more anger management issues as she's more regular Hulk... which according to solicits is going to be of import in the second issue.

Non-comic news... I'm sad to say that Pat Carlucci has lost his five year battle with lymphoma and died on Wednesday. A very talented man and if the number of tributes are anything to go by a thoroughly nice chap, I know I'll miss his contributions... and if you've not seen his work, avail yourself of this opportunity.

On to less morose topics... the [url=http://www.ftf10.com/gallery]FTF10 gallery[/url] is new and improved... slightly... after it managed to explode during the upgrade process but that's all fixed now. Until the next time... also, I should say that if anyone is ever interested in hosting stuff that they consider too risqué for DA, that there is plenty of space in the gallery. Also, just to clarify - Manic's The Unstoppables is still there, it's just not on the front page, it's a nested gallery within Manic's main gallery.

And that leads me to seamlessly transition to my next point, which is my old friend Manic. As many/some/the one person reading this may know, Manic does - from time to time - paysets which are available via an entirely Manic managed process... as he's a busy chap, who would rather be drawing girls hulking out of their clothing and kick ass he's trying an experiment and has his latest payset for sale at RTE-23, it's all about his heroine Barbaria and her interview to join... well, The Unstoppables. Inspired by the auditions in Mystery Men... Manic's usual teeny tiny preview pics are over at his Yahoo Group.

Allowing another seamless segue into the fact that apparently RTE-23 wasn't a one hit wonder and has part 3 & part 4 of She-Brute and a two part BE story Bartenders which in part two apparently hits WOW sized growth.

And... that's about all I have... unless I want to delve into the miasma of current Process drama... and the less said of that, the better.
