Oh, The Lies We Weave

2010-07-15T16:15:00.000-07:00

Now, some people may have thought "Oh, maybe only two poses... that could be chance!"

And to you I say, yes... there are only so many ways identical females can stand...

BUT BEHOLD!

Now, if anyone would CARE to read what it says on the Expansion Comics site... goodness, "Any similarity to any character, living, dead, or proprietal property is purely parody and that the content providers have no association with those intellectual properties or its creators outside of expansioncomics.com."

Well, it doesn't take an intellectual property lawyer to see what's going on here... There's parody... and then there's theft for profit.

You can make your own minds up... but yeah, tracing = art theft = crime.

Now... when it comes to the world of art, few things are likely to inspire moral outrage than art theft.

And so, it has come to pass that it seems SOMEONE has decided to go one better than just getting pay content without paying for it... no. Someone has taken it upon themselves to take someone ELSE'S pay material and... what else GET PAID FOR IT!

This was posted anonymously by someone on some imageboard... but it seems pretty obvious that - assuming this is an ACTUAL comic from Expansion Mansion... this is pretty straight forward art theft. Notable by the remarkably invisible phone that the character on the left page is holding in the bottom right... and the generally inferior nature of all the art. Far too much coincidence, really.

Not exactly something Expansion Mansion needs, I imagine. The site already enjoys a LESS than wholesome reputation... but then, Bambi Blaze made her fair share of enemies when stuff went down with Stromzone some years ago - as OTHER drama has proven. So, this may well be another attempt to undermine her already besmirched character further.

If anyone would care to confirm that the left page is an actual Expansion Mansion comic and when it was released so that date can be tabulated for the sake of sceptics... and who the hell the artist was? It really isn't on. Portal Comic is doing this for a living - for that art to just be taken and reused is not just wrong, it's a CRIME.

Do what you must, my friends - if this turns out to be for real, it must not stand.

Of Breast Expansion And She-Hulks

2010-04-24T09:10:00.000-07:00

It seems, in my haste to congratulate my friend and awesome artist Wizdomtooth on his birthday I did forget the OBVIOUS She-Hulk related comic... which was her 30th anniversary issue. I'm never quite sure WHY they feel the need to pad these out with re-prints... I mean, I know that some people won't have read them but really, is it necessary? Regardless...

So, She-Hulk is 30 this year and Marvel (having put her on a bus for about eight months) decided to give her an anniversary issue. There are two new stories in it and I'll be covering those...

Just to keep all the Savage She-Hulk fanboys happy...

PAD opts for a rather droll and tongue-in-cheek story that harkens back to the Byrne era, with many a joke aimed at the 4th wall and Marvel... it even has Stan Lee in it... or the... uh, ghost of Stan Lee... well, he's ALMOST dead. Anyway, it's a playful piece based (very) loosely around A Christmas Carol and while it's spoiling what amounts to the punchline - I think it's funny enough to warrant it.

Shh, PAD! You're just giving them ideas!

And of course, we have the celebratory note for the finish... which, WON'T be a surprise.

Aww, happy ending and a cake!

And so, to the second story. There really isn't a lot to say about this, it just feels like a somewhat contrived crossover between Ms. Marvel, Spiderwoman and She-Hulk...

This is how superheroes say "hello!"

Anyway, the mandatory greeting smackdown out of the way, it turns out that all three of them are after the same gang for whatever reason... but instead of getting SHIELD to raid the place or calling for back up or anything like that... they go UNDERCOVER! Exciting, eh? No, not really but here's something you may enjoy...

Oops , looks like the girls got some 'splaining to do...

You have to feel bad for Spiderwoman - Jen Hulks out, Ms. Marvel has her nifty costume change and Jessica is stuck pulling on her gloves...

So... there you go, better late than never, the highlights from the 30th anniversary of She-Hulk. All-in-all, not really that exciting. Sure, it's nice to get another title just for She-Hulk and PAD's treatment was certainly about right but just not that special...

But I said breast expansion! And I always deliver! Probably...

First of all it's hard to explain this one... just as well you can watch it! Maybe just best to say a burlesque act with breast expansion?

Secondly here's a little bit of anime stuff. No, I've no idea what's going on - why the girl is like a pretty anime female version of Two Face, why she is enlarging the breasts of a bound catgirl or... just anything but hey, it's anime - most of the time the motivations of characters are a mystery to me.

And on that note, sayonara suckers!

HER-OES #1 & Savage She-Hulks #2 & A Whole Lotta Stuff

2010-04-23T08:30:00.000-07:00

I should start out by saying, any chance there was of Hulked-Out Heroes having any stuff with female heroines was kind of tossed out the window but I suppose calling it Hulkpool might not have made it a quite the tie-in comic. For the many of you NOT reading the Fall Of The Hulks/World War Hulks storyline (and I can't say I blame you), events transpired that Hulked out a bunch of heroes... and Deadpool, who takes to calling himself Hulkpool - who hates Deadpool and decides to go back in time to kill him. So yes, Hulked-Out Heroes has nothing to do with the story and I'm not sure even Deadpool fans would like it... it's quite droll and rather silly... but yes, completely irrelevant.

So... on to HER-OES #1... as this is Marvel's YEAR OF WOMEN, this is one of the comics they've designed for... well, the female of the species. So, a female orientated mini-series - presumably to make up for the fact Marvel has managed to cancel or shelve most of their female solo titles... but I digress. So, we've got Wasp, She-Hulk, Namora, Ms. Marvel at high school - all with their powers but unaware they have powers... the bad news for the shrinking fans is... Wasp's TF is pretty much a standard "now she's normal - now she's tiny"... not even a *ka-shrink* or *poof*... You see her tiny plenty but the process is nil.

See, not even a poof!

She-Hulk (generally referred to as Jenny) is played rather more suitably... although, it's pretty obvious to anyone what's going on and I think the portrayal of her here is actually quite interesting and not something we've seen with her. Nothing but a whetting of the appetite though.

Don't make her angry!

Still, I think that's quite promising. The high school with superpowers schtick may have been somewhat over-tapped in recent years... Buffy, Smallville, X-men: Evolution and so on... but this is rather more enjoyable as it's taking existing characters and putting them in different situations... even if it's aimed at girls, it's still quite fun.

And so to the ménage-a-hulk of Savage She-Hulks #2 - it's pretty easy to sum this one up... filler and catch-up. Which seems hilariously stupid for a mini that is running for three issues. Pretty sure we all know the backstory for She-Hulk and Lyra. If you didn't, why would you be reading this story? So, yeah - this is kind of a catch-up... where She-Hulk has been, Lyra's game plan and just some other background stuff.

She-Hulk gives us the gamma powered bitch slap!

Oh and if you like the art you see there... BAIT AND SWITCH. Granted, it occurs past the halfway point but really... the action is where an inferior artists (I suppose that's a matter of opinion)

A moment many loud fanboys have been praying for every night.

So, kind of a disappointment and all the notions that She-Hulk/Lyra would get powered up... As they don't. It's a pretty anti-climactic situation, really. We have a chance for She-Hulk to actually DO something... and there's a brief fight and nothing is really resolved. Perhaps in an ongoing title you can get away with that but in a THREE issue mini-series... feels like a cheat, plain and simple. The inferior art for the fight doesn't exactly help either.

OK, that's enough mainstream comics for now and so, seamless segue to...

The new Manic payset! Yup, Manic is a very busy bee and as well as an endless barrage of commissions - he is still working on paysets, for your viewing pleasure. Currently, he's in a bit of an experimental phase and so this is not QUITE the usual... it's one of Manic's characters, Scarlet Steel giving a lecture on the nature of female muscle growth (and dare I suggest, superheroines) in the Manicverse throughout history. Don't worry, Scarlet brings along plenty of visual aids along and as one would expect, there is the usual wit and action in there... and yes, clothes bursting, growing breasts, growing muscles and growing girls. So, as far as I'm concerned - the experiment is a success and well worth the low, low price! Buy now! Or don't, no pressure BUT BUY IT! Manic's children need wine!

Anything else... oh! Happy Birthday to Wizdomtooth - sharing his birthday with St. George's Day and the death of Shakespeare... But Shakespeare never did awesome comics of girls bustin' out of their clothes... well, not to my knowledge - that may be one his lost manuscripts, regardless of that, all the best to Wizdomtooth. Still time to come wish him a happy birthday yourself!

A Fond Farewell

2010-04-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

Friends, FTF10ers, random perverts... I come not to bury Lightfoot but to praise him... after ten years - and yes, it really has been that long - Lightfoot is bowing out from the Stone of Adventure a sad day to be sure but everything comes to an end eventually. That said, I'd rather Lightfoot do it on his own terms than just burn out and disappear like many an artist... actually, I'm pretty sure most artists either disappear without any warning or ragequit... and the occasional death/faked death.

Anyway, we should all appreciate the IMMENSE contribution Lightfoot has made... I have gone out of my way in the years that he has been active to make sure he gets recognition for his tireless work and effort... Ten years and hundreds of pages of comics. LITERALLY hundreds of pages, all free to the boob loving public and that's not to mention all the pin-up stuff he did AND all the gift art for jokers including muggins. So, I'd say - don't plead with Lightfoot to go, he's made up his mind and he knows what he's doing... he could scarcely have articulated upon his reasons and plans otherwise. Best to keep your dignity and his intact and just doth your hat to him and wish him the best of luck in whatever endeavours he chooses to undertake next.

Also, in unrelated news - well, I suppose I could have segued by saying Lightfoot was going to take his leave after the tenth anniversary and speaking of anniversaries - it's the third anniversary of #FTF10 - hardly seems so long but well, next year I can make the four more years joke! Hoorah and cheers to #FTF10!

Mighty Endowed? Mighty Disappointing!

2010-03-26T04:51:00.000-07:00

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.

FTF10 4th Anniversary - FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

2010-02-24T15:49:00.000-08:00

It hardly seems like four years since I started out on FTF10, so much so that I actually had to go and check when I started it because I was so certain that it couldn't have been that long... but indeed, it is four years already. Needless to say, the fact that hardly any time seems to have passed is something I attribute to the satisfaction I gain from maintaining this site and being a part of the greater community of female transformation.

Indeed, I would be remiss if I failed to say a sincere and heartfelt word of thanks to all the artists and writers that keep the hungry fans relatively content and of course, who give me links to post on my site and thus imbue my life with some purpose on this Earth, slightly greater than to sire progeny. Given that my DA watchlist creeps ever closer to 1,000 people it would be rather time consuming for me to personally thank all the artists who have been good or even especially good but I shall take my time to personally thank the living legend that is Jacques00, whose fantastic artwork (not to mention incredible speed) and immense generosity I have only been able to repay with the notional favour of hosting on FTF10 for his material - he has been tremendous to the point I'm running out of sufficiently flattering adjectives to describe him... and we shall leave it at that.

Beyond that, I will also say a word of thanks to those who take the time to frequent #FTF10 who regularly amuse and entertain me and suffer through all my drunken tirades, lengthy diatribes and philosophical rambling and whose friendship and company I genuinely value. You all know who you are.

Anyway, as the title says FOUR MORE YEARS! Hopefully, I'll be able to build on the addition of the gallery and wiki this year. I have something in the works, in that regards... so pay attention and do feel free to contribute to the wiki any time you like... I'm trying to put together a contest for the wiki...

Finally, a thanks to everyone that uses the site, checks the links, reads the wiki or looks at the galleries... and people that watch this blog? Well, you're all pretty fucking awesome. See you next year, chaps.

Bye Bye Blue Leader!

2010-01-07T11:49:00.000-08:00

You know how it is, you're 22-23 and... well, that makes you a prime target for sexual preditors (sic), rapists, kidnappers. Or so said Blue Leader in his finale DA journal... before deactivating his account FOREVER and we all know that means, until daddy gives his computer back... because apparently he stole it...

Of course, Blue Leader had his own ED page (until it mysteriously disappeared) and for good reason. The reason being he couldn't draw, couldn't write and pestered artists RELENTLESSLY for fan art of his shitty characters.

So, fare fucking well Blue Leader - we won't miss you. At least the drama has been curtailed! Joy.

For The Woman Has Too Much Of Something...

2009-11-26T06:54:00.000-08:00

...And not enough boobs, they have apparently started using STEM CELLS for breast augmentations! From the explanation provided, it sounds like this is orders of magnitude more advanced than the previous treatments, which just involved moving fat around... which isn't all that good for a number of reasons. Here's an article on it with less than stellar before and after pictures...

Still, actually approved.

And For The TG Fans - There Was Much Rejoicing

2009-11-19T13:17:00.000-08:00

Sutibaru linked this to me mere moments ago and I'm well aware that the transgender fans probably don't stop by FTF10 for TG links because I don't post very many of them... but looks like you lucky bastards are getting a gender swapping movie! Although... this is the INVERSE of the usual, as we all know that as far as transgender goes - 99% of it is boy to girl and this is a girl who becomes a boy... but still, the first film since Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, eh?

Ginormica Returns!

2009-11-11T02:37:00.000-08:00

A rather unexpected Halloween treat for giantess fans this year. Probably the single most gratuitous growth scene in years was Ginormica's in Monsters vs. Aliens - well, they went and made a Halloween special and to answer your first question, no. There isn't any growth in this, I think it's fair to say that Susan is going to stay Ginormica and not flip flop - much as many of us would care for her to do so. Honestly, even if you're not a giantess fan - this is still a fun and amusing piece of comedy.

Also, a new Manic commission - Therapy. Needless to say, it's the usual high quality Manic product with clothes bursting and hot hulking girls... and this one includes a helping of Sapphicism... and has Jen as a therapist, rather than a lawyer. Variety is, after all - the spice of life...

And as we're on the topic of She-Hulks, it seems that there is going to be another She-Hulk mini, come March - Savage She-Hulks #1... of course, December onward is going to see a whole slew of Hulk related titles because of this "Fall of the Hulks", which is going to see 3 or 4 titles from January to April (and beyond, I assume). Apparently Jeph Loeb WON'T be writing the origin story for the Red She-Hulk... and this is a good thing. If you're unaware of his reputation it would be fair to say that some of his recent writing (most notably Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum - Hulk hasn't exactly been critically praised either) has been absolutely hammered by critics and fanboys alike. Still, we'll have to see how this Hulkaplooza event goes but at the very least it should mean more for the ladies of the Hulk scene.

And to finish up on girls that get big and green (or red, I suppose) for now - I'll shamelessly post a link to the Random Hulk Girls thread that I started a little while ago on the Addventure. So, if you're so inclined - feel free to put something up there... just remember the Addventure needs HTML coding.

So, that's about it.

German BE Clip And Some More Powergirl

2009-10-15T08:52:00.000-07:00

Yes, some more love for Powergirl - it's a minor spoiler to say that she has a sizeable role in the new Superman/Batman Public Enemies. Her bosom is fairly sizeable and she does expose the typical amount of cleavage... but really, not too spectacular and in fairness her anime sized eyes are almost the same size.

The other reason to mention it, is of course everyone's favourite bad girl giantess, Giganta. Not a whole lot happens with her, I'm afraid. She appears at about the halfway point - and... well, she tries to stamp on Superman, misses and then he KOs her. No growth, no lines... so, a bit of a non-event for her. She got more than Cheetah though, who is pretty much just a blur. Hell, Cheetah got a better outing in her 10 seconds at the end of Wonder Woman. I suppose they at least made Killer Frost look like a lot more of a hottie - not very much like

And for no reason at all HERE is the German breast expansion video (in German!) that for reasons escaping my comprehension, I can't post on FTF10...

Red She-Hulk got her first full issue appearance. She's pretty cool - obviously, all the smack talk about killing Elektra and Domino is nonsense... and as it's Jeph Loeb, there's no real chance that logic will be involved in this... so, guesses are fun but futile.

FTF10 Blog Is Back Again (Kind Of)

2009-10-02T14:15:00.000-07:00

So, it's come to this - another FTF10 blog.

Actually, no. One of the issues with trading in blogger for a dedicated CMS was that I couldn't snark, engage in entirely unnecessary asides, insult my numerous enemies and detractors and tell the community I love and humbly serve so gladly, what was going on - with female transformation, with FTF10 itself and my own views upon it. Which I'm sure you're all just dying to hear.

Last week saw the introduction of Red She-Hulk... to be honest, Marvel have been going kind of Hulk crazy ever since the whole Planet Hulk thing but then, I suppose their meta-events have to be fuelled by SOMETHING - well, beyond the desire for money in their pockets. So, for those not following the general overall continuity I shall sum up briefly... Bunch of chaps decide the Hulk is too dangerous, fire him into space, he goes to the wrong planet, becomes the king, finds a wife, then a bomb goes off, kills the wife and he comes back to Earth, royally pissed but ends up getting defeated and then taken into custody... only for a RED Hulk to turn up and start running amok. That probably summation saved you many hours of reading and several hundred dollars worth of comics.

Anyway, turns out the red Hulk - aka Rulk - is actually NOT Banner. So, then there's a whole "Who is Rulk?" situation but then Loeb's ADD kicks in, all the likely suspects are eliminated and that aspect is dropped UNTIL Domino finds out his identity, leading to a face off between a team Rulk put together and one Domino put together. Of course, this was all preceded by the showing off in previews of a wholesome cheesecake, pictured above.

So, Domino and Elektra disappear and then Red She-Hulk appears - dun dun dun. It was kind of inevitable... The original She-Hulk was a product of copyright laws, Red She-Hulk could be much the same, I expect. Still - there's no need for her to be a write-off in creative terms. The fact she's in a title being written by Jeph "Lost It" Loeb... that's probably what one should be concerned about... of course, if there's one thing that we should all take for granted - it's that anything She-Hulk related will upset someone... Lyra - the daughter of Hulk and Thundra from an alternate time line ... yeah, long story - did not sit well with many and when she was named the Savage She-Hulk... well.

AND, as we're talking about comic book heroines - the Powergirl solo title is quite fun. Plenty of cheesecake... and there's action and a plot. Nice art... if you like Powergirl... it's super. Quite HOW she got the money to run her own corporation is beyond me...

Kind of a good period for the well built female in comics. We've had the appearance of Ultimate She-Hulk - even if I doubt Guybrush Threepwood could hold his breath long enough for when she next appears - and the appearance of Lyra, another big green She-Hulk and of course, Powergirl getting her solo title and the Red She-Hulk. So, exciting stuff.
