Justice League of Bloggers - Steve Garcia Crossover

Playing along with the Justice League of Bloggers Steve Garcia Art Crossover event (much cheaper than the Forever Evil event and slightly more interesting), here's the Red Tornado piece.

Noble, indeed, Red Tornado's silhouette is taken from the Michael Turner-drawn cover of Justice League of America #3 during the Brad Meltzer Ed Benes run. The inner silhouette escapes me, but the combination of the two, with the red to black gradient makes for a nice image. For more of Steve Garcia's stuff, check out the brossover happening all over the internet today.

Here's some links to his stuff on the this here internet:

DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains Fandex

Coming to me courtesy of the Irredeemable Shag, I'm sharing with you, my friends, the Red Tornado entry from the not-so-brand-new, but new-to-me DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains Fandex. Click on over to Shag's Once Upon a Geek and check out his review of the piece as a whole. Afterwards, come on back, we'll be here waiting for you.

My oldest daughter (and therefore passed along to her sisters, but since lost, naturally) used to have a couple learning games set up very similarly to this. The learning games were simple math and spelling, things of that nature. Admittedly, this is a bit of a far cry from that, but it's the first thing I thought of when I saw this solicited. I have yet to get my grubby paws on a copy, but with Father's Day on the horizon, anything is possible.

I point you to the Aqua-marketplace on Rob Kelly's magnificent Aquaman Shrine to connect yourself to a copy of this bad boy.

Naturally, DC chose to go with a shot of Reddy drawn by Ed Benes from Brad Meltzer's "The Tornado's Path" story. This image is from the foldout poster that popped up in issue #7 (I believe, sound off if I'm wrong here). Interestingly enough, I had Meltzer sign this image in my hardcover copy of "The Tornado's Path" during his recent signing tour for Heroes for My Son.

Back to the Fandex, though. I do like the line, "Red Tornado grew a soul." If only it were so easy.

Thanks again to Shag!
