Continuing a series of blogs that was inspired by the Adam Hughes poster The Real Power of the DC Universe. Today we move to Harley Quinn. Certifiable. Not much else describes her. Let’s face it, anyone who falls in love with The Joker can’t be described in any other way. Interestingly, Dr. Harleen Quinzel didn’t [...]

Continuing a series of blogs that was inspired by the Adam Hughes poster The Real Power of the DC Universe. Today we move to Black Canary. A true classic – that’s what Black Canary is. First appearing as a villain opposite Johnny Thunder in a backup story in Flash Comics #86; she was too pretty [...]

Continuing a series of blogs that was inspired by the Adam Hughes poster The Real Power of the DC Universe. Today we move to Supergirl. To tell you the truth, I’m not much of a fan of Supergirl. I guess because my first introduction to the character was with the 1984 movie starring Helen Slater. [...]
