Superhero Day helped raise money for the Columbia Public Schools and was an attempt to break the Guinness world record for the most people dressed like a superhero. Although the record was not broken, it did attract 762 superheroes.

Amy Ishii catches up on some reading... I may have got slightly carried away printing out some 1:6 comicbooks ;)
This is from an image previously added to this image. Here we see it evolve into a comic strip, particularly in the upper left. If anyone is interested there is a larger version of this, an image that covers more of the original image.

Batgirl is the name of several fictional characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics, depicted as female counterparts to the superhero Batman. Although the character Betty Kane was introduced into publication in 1961 by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff as Bat-Girl, she is replaced by Barbara Gordon in 1967, who later came to be identified as the first Batgirl.

I had fun making my body glow. I haven't done that in a very long time.
... as I was saying, I might have gotten *slightly* carried away making a few 1:6 comicbooks - ended up with 180 of them! These are just 'prop comics' - covers glued onto a piece of card, there are no internal pages.
A lot were scanned from my own collection (which explains all the Defenders issues!) but plenty of others were found on line, especially the vintage stuff (like the first issue FF, Action Comics etc.)... and yes, they all have the correct back covers* - fortunately a lot of ebay sellers will photograph the back of vintage comics as well as the cover... sadly not so much the case with 80's+ stuff.
Once I've recovered from putting all these together (though it was a strangely calming experience and bizarrely virtually free of gluey fingerprints!) I'll upload some files so you can print out some mini-comics too.
* correct back pages *where possible*; struggled to find the right ones for The Guild and the Vox Machina comic is digital only but the new Critical Role ad poster seemed an appropriate fit.

History:
Serena Blue had a quiet childhood. She was shy and reclusive around her peers. She had an extreme case of aquaphobia, which would become very ironic as she reached maturity. During an attempt to conquer her fears, she drowned in the Bricklyn Bay….or so she had thought. She was able to breath underwater, but the madness from the trauma overtook her and drove her insane. Serena was born with a mutation that further developed. She was able to transform her body into liquid, and retain her original shape. With this power, she can control water, creating powerful blasts to attack and form shields to protect herself. She is also able to breath underwater, drown people, create fog, and produce damaging Tsunamis. Her mutated genetics allow her to resist cold, gases and underwater pressure in addition to allowing her to swim at super speeds. Her abilities seem to be linked to the tidal phases and she can become stronger and quicker during high tide. Although her transformation has affected her physical appearance, the biggest change is her personality. She is now prone to violent mood swings and has shed her shy demeanor for an impetuous, overconfident bearing. She calls herself “Maelstrom” and is ready to release her fury upon all of New Blok City.

History:
Umbraxus is the name given to this creature from the Shadow Dimension. It first appeared when it “attached” itself to the heroine known as Sable. At first, it hid its presence by appearing to be the manifestation of a super power that Sable possessed. It fed off of her heroics and reveled in the adrenaline rush of violence. The creature developed a sick, covetous obsession of Sable and manipulated her to become more violent. When she encountered Creed during a few outings, Umbraxus became jealous and its true nature revealed itself. After being defeated by Creed and Sable, Umbraxus sunk back in the shadows to prepare for its next assault on the unsuspecting city. Umbraxus’s powers are connected to the mysterious Shadow Dimension and therefore grant it powers over dark force energy and shadows. It also communicates using telepathy and has been shown to be vulnerable to light and light based attacks. Whatever motivation this creature has is a mystery, but it delights in the mayhem that ensues. No one knows how malicious the creature is, but dark times are ahead for the habitants of New Blok City.

I bought it in the summer, and it has just been sitting in the pile of books I have in the living room. Tonight was the first time I even looked at it, and it has two of the artists who were at this year's Baltimore Comic-Con.
Flipping through the book I saw what was basically the Grant Morrison JLA with Wally and Kyle rather than the boring duo of Barry and Hal. I only presumed this issue has Wally West, since it has Kyle Rayner in his original costume and Aquaman is in his PAD era outfit. Batman is also wearing the yellow oval Bat Shirt. Yay!
Best of all, there are THOUGHT BALLOONS!
This is a 100 page comic book. I do not recall a 100 page comic book, that is not an original graphic novel, being made in the past 40 years. The only negative is that this book cost $7.99.
After creating three super retro covers during the past few weeks for League of Heroes stories that I have not written yet, I had the thought to create a cover for one of my existing stories. This cover is meant to be much edgier and reflect the darker tone of most modern comics versus the campiness of my retro covers. The story is linked below, but it involves the Crimson Cloak investigating the explosion of the New Brickton Penitentiary. Once inside, the Cloak fights his way through a gauntlet of fire engulfed corridors and vicious gangs of newly freed bloodthirsty inmates.
