The Line it is Drawn #204 - Modern Day Superdickery!

Welcome to our weekly gallery of amazing art by our great collection of artistic talent, all working from YOUR suggestions!

Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is - if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page... http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) - myself, Greg Hatcher, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Bill Reed, Greg Burgas, Sonia Harris, Melissa K. and Ken H.

I update the blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account.

Now on to the bit!

So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the choices picked from the previous week. Here is an archive of all the previous editions of The Line It Is Drawn!

To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply - so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 3pm Pacific Friday).

The topic is...

With all of the hubbub over the Milo Manera Spider-Woman variant cover, let's do similar covers starring male comic book characters. So suggest a male superhero and our artists will draw an equivalent "sexy" variant cover featuring that character.

Read on for the sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!

A famous cover motif from DC's Silver Age was so-called "Superdickery," where it would seem like Superman was doing something cruel for no good reason (inside the comic you'd realize that it was all for a good reason - he was attacking Jimmy Olsen because Jimmy was secretly a bad guy disguised as Jimmy, stuff like that). There's a whole site devoted to the concept. This week's theme is doing MODERN version of Superdickery covers. For example, Lois Lane aghast at Superman, who is on his iPad "Why did you unfriend me on Facebook, Superman? Why?!?"

Enjoy!

I'll put them in alphabetical order based on the name of the Twitter user who made the suggestion.

Ecovore suggested

Superman posting a photo of Bruce Wayne put on his Batman costume

Nick Perks is the artist for this one. Here is his website.

Nick has a timeline of the events of the image:

Batman is alarmed to discover that Superman has made his most extraordinary mistake yet, posting Batman's secret identity on his Facebook page.

This is merely the latest in a number of 'slips' the increasingly eccentric Superman has made in the last 24 hours.

In fact, Batman has been fully occupied in undoing the damage Superman has caused, preventing any possible fall-out, and restoring the status quo.

It is with a feeling of some concern that Batman finally returns to the Batcave, worried about one of his closest friends. Indeed, Batman is so lost in thought as he enters his headquarters he is totally unprepared for...

SURPRISE!

Robin, Batwoman, Batgirl, Commissioner Gordon, Chief O'Hara, Vicki Vale, the Justice League, the Batmen of All Nations and many others who Batman had befriended in his career were waiting there. Even Alfred (his appearance disguised from the others) was in attendance. And arriving last of all, Superman.

Superman quickly explains that he had been deliberately keeping Batman occupied while the others prepared the surprise party in his absence. Batman is still confused - it isn't his birthday so...? Robin reminds him that this is the anniversary of his first appearance as Batman years before, the start of a career which had encouraged and inspired so many. As Batwoman passes him a piece of cake it's all the caped crusader can do to hold back a tear!
