I also got some great original art from Joe and Ken from The Variants of Storm and Zatanna! Such a deal at a dollar a piece! [to be shown later!]

Ok the bad news; [insert frown face]. MaD did lovely interviews with both The Variants and Cat Staggs…however the sound was not so spectacular amongst the heavy crowd. However we will indeed post the HELL out of them cause we love ‘em both! [Just waiting for the edit] We hope everyone had a blast at this years Comicon in Richardson, Texas. We know we did, and can’t wait for the next convention!

What member of the Justice League is a descendant of Nostradamus, Leonardo Da Vinci, and alchemist Nicholas Flamel? Our Mutant of the week! Zatanna!

Private Commission by Cat Staggs

Like a virgin mutant, Zatanna Zatara’s powers are genetic. Usually she casts her spells by speaking backwards but there has been occurrences when she has cast spells without speaking a word. From 1978-1982 her powers were limited to the four elements but now she is one the most powerful magic users in the DC Universe!

When she is not saving the world with the Justice League she performs as a stage magician. Her father, John, was also a stage magician and possessed the same powers as Zatanna. Not only was she childhood friends with Bruce Wayne but her father taught him how to be an escape artist. She has a really close relationship with Batman but since he is not able to give her the “relationship” she needs they remain close friends. She has also appeared in the pages of Vertigo’s Hellblazer as John Constantine’s love interest.

You can currently see Zatanna in the pages of Justice League and for a great story arc that features her, check out Identity Crisis!

Coming Soon! Spider-Man Archives!

mutantaday — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:05:57 +0000

Spider-Man Archives was recently released at the end of October by Rittenhouse. I was curious to see the artwork on these cards since the Fantastic Four Archives were pretty shitty crappy. I just picked up a pack today and surprisingly the art is good and they resemble the X-Men Archives and Women of Marvel cards which both were great. Although I am not a huge Spider-Man fan I would definitely recommend picking up this set of cards. And as an added bonus, one of Mutant a Day’s favorite artist, Cat Staggs has done some excellent sketch cards for the series as well! She is indeed an art goddess!

Do we see a little more than a hint of Ms. Lawless in this awesome-o Wonder Woman piece by the ever-so-amazingly-talented Cat Staggs?!?! Oh if only dreams could come true on the silver-screen!

Conventionally Speaking

windiebird — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:49:43 +0000

Your beautiful, talented & hilarious (and humble, naturally) authors went to the 2009 Comicon in Richardson, TX and had ourselves quite a day.

The convention space was divided up into two main sections, the artist gallery and the dealers room.

The artists were all very willing to sell sketches, take pictures, do signings and generally just get their stuff out to the hungry public. There were two artists who really lil-bow-wowed us.

The salaciously sapphic Cat Staggs has an amazing eye for the female form. She has done some beautiful work in the Women of Marvel trading card set which we highly suggest you check out. In all of her female pieces (honka honka) you’ll notice she goes for the sensual rather than the overtly sexual in a way that you don’t see in most female characters in the comic world. Really something else. We would love to see her get her own series, JUST SAYING. Enjoy our collective sexiness with her royal Catness.

Cat Staggs, Mutant A Day, Aaron

Cat and Windiebird

The other artist who really impressed us (and he could press us any way he wants) was Joe Jusko. His most famous work was done on the 1992 Marvel Masterpiece trading card set although he has done work all over the comic industry for the better part of 30 years. His colors are rich and thick (and that’s our kind of man) while his lining is complex and realistic. Very consistent style and always a joy to look at. And the art isn’t bad either. Don’t you just want to rip his clothes off?

The second part of the convention was the dealers room and boy was it a room! It was much louder and there was SO much to spend money on! There were bootleg DVDs, decades worth of comic archives and more shirts and Mighty Muggs than you can shake a stick at.(And by stick I mean Mjollnir, and by Mjollnir I mean that hammer is my penis) They had ALL the nerds covered. Who fans, Battle Star Galactites, Trekkies, Star Whores, Weeboos and even the Ren Faire crowd.

Seriously, if you could dream it they were selling it. We had a pretty nice haul ourselves (like every Saturday night around here) and you know we’ll be heading out the next time the convention breezes through town.

Oh! And there was some self-righteous actor from that new Punisher movie or something. It was kind of hard to tell since he was wearing his sunglasses indoors. Yeah, it was daytime. He must be cute because he got a movie deal but we suspect his divine pole-smoking skillz might have played a role in the casting directors decisions.

Because, hello, freshly baked faguette.

That’s about it for our 2009 Richardson Civic Center Comicon coverage and we’ll be seeing you next post!

Keep it dirty.
