Wish Upon a Star

I've been wanting this since I saw the announcement months ago. I'd wanted the Cyclone figure, too, but when I saw it, I wasn't really thrilled with her face. Her expression was odd, off, weird, so I didn't buy her. But I might change my mind and buy her next week.

But Courtney is quite lovely.

I read the latest Wonder Woman, which has one of the loveliest WW covers ever, and the 2nd Arsenal issue, which was intense. I was saddened that the art was so nice in that Lian, in Roy's dream, was so beautifully drawn, actually looking like a real little girl and not a midget or some such, and it figures that the best art for her is after she's dead. I'll write a proper review of the book tonight. Meanwhile, enjoy Stargirl.

  1. That is a gorgeous version of Courtney!

    Wonder Woman was excellent, and although I didn't particularly like the Arsenal book, I must agree with you that they did a nice job of portraying Lian as a little girl. The missing tooth was a poignant touch.

  2. Yes, the missing tooth brought a tear to my eye. It's one of the few details that have hinted at her age. Old enough to start losing her baby teeth.
