Last year, I unleashed the 2006 Awesome List. Since I already have Face Rockery this year, I think a name change will be appropriate. The 2007 Face Rocking List will showcase the things in comics and pop culture that totally rocked my face this year. In no particular order:
Since we’re in a sort of Crisis-themed week, might as well feature face-rocking covers of the original Crisis: Crisis on Infinite Earths. It was a 12-issue maxi-series where all sorts of shit went down, and it’s all glorious.
You’ll know when something huge is about to happen when you see a cover with superheroes floating in space while two Earths collide and explode in the background.
ITEM! Millar and Hitch become fantastic! The duo that rocked everyone’s faces with The Ultimates will do their magic in the main Marvel Universe when they take over “Fantastic Four” in 2008. Let’s all pray to whatever god we pray to that they’ll deliver the comics on time.
ITEM! Alex Ross returns to Marvel! I’m not his biggest fan, but I enjoyed his and Jim Kreuger’s awesome Earth X, Universe X, and Paradise X immensely. So yeah, I’m definitely on board for Avengers/Invaders. Also, check out the teaser image. Is his… is his ass on fire?!
ITEM! Laura Hudson is awesome! Old news for me, but I just want to echo it.
I feel bad about saying that a blatant show of flesh is the main hook of “Supergirl”, especially when I didn’t read issues #2-19. So, as a service to the public by a responsible citizen of the Intarnetz, I’m going to inspect some covers to see if sex sells Supergirl’s monthly series. It’s the right thing to do. After all, if you’re going to use sex to attract fanboysmen, you’re going to do it on the comic’s cover.
With a white background that directs your attention to Supergirl, it’s hard not to focus on her skinny model-ish body. Yep. Bad start.
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
