Alt text: Stylized portrait of the Baroness from G.I. Joe. She faces forward with a slight downward tilt of the head, wearing round green-tinted glasses that reflect light. Her expression is cool and unimpressed. She has long black hair, pale skin, blue-toned lips, and a small beauty mark near her cheek. One red Cobra emblem appears on her shoulder while the other is worn as an earring. The uniform is dark with a high collar. The art uses bold ink lines, halftone textures, and vivid colors—especially green, blue, red, and orange—for a graphic, pop-art feel.

Sometimes a warm-up sketch takes over your life for three days...

post-apocalyptic vibe of the satirical comic. Never one to catch on popularly, VJ was hailed by many critics as ahead of its time. While I enjoyed VJ, my favorite Giffen work was on a Dr. Fate mini-series he drew at around the same time as VJ. #ComicBook #BlueSkyComicBook #80sComics #comic 2/2

This is why I'm not a huge fan of depictions of #Deathstroke as a full on #supervillain, especially ones set prior to #NewTeenTitans. Prior to taking on Ravager's contract, Slade sold his services for good causes (at least in his mind).
