Danger Girl creator and DG/Joe crossover writer talks to CBR about the series.
-
I'm not sure what to make of this one. On the one hand, it seems intriguing and interesting, but on the other, I'm not very familiar with Danger Girl. It looks like the focus is lust and if that's an undeniable characteristic, I'll need to pass.
-
i am not too familiar with DG either, but the thrust of the comics seem to be sexy women on Bond-esque adventures. i'd at least give it a squiz.

You're not too familiar with the body of work from J. Scott Campbell, are you?

No, not really. I've heard the name, he did the joe covers for the first tradebacks and the ddp. And some pin up joe issue or something like that. Not familiar with him beyond that. Does he do a lot of borderline porn stuff?

"Cheesecake" is the better word. But he's renowned for impossibly round, gravity defying body parts, awkward posing, skimpy clothing and all other good things that get a teenage boy's blood pumping.
He did the covers for Gen13 back in the 90's (in addition to Danger Girl) and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't mesmerized by all the things mentioned above.

I love Danger Girl.
Assassin X and Agent Zero are basically Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
Danger Girl is a great read. Pick up the complete collection trade paperback, you won't be disappointed.
-
I use to work in a comic shop about 20 years ago and I use to read everything under the sun but I never gave Danger Girl a read. What is her back story anyhow?
-
the lead character is Abbey Chase, she's a treasure hunter in the Indy Jones/Lara Croft mode who falls in with a spy organisation called 'Danger Girl' and battles various bad guys, but mostly the neo-Axis Hammer Empire. the other members of the DG group include Natalia Kassel, ex KGB; Sydney Savage from Australia; Silicon Valerie their tech expert; Deuce the British MI6 officer who's the boss (and looks like Sean Connery) and Johnny Barracuda a CIA guy who looks like Bruce Campbell.
(i read up on it on wikipedia...)

I was just looking at the tradeback in books a million about 25 minutes ago. I guess it was the first issues, collected. Anyways, showed one of the girls naked in a big panel with a towel hanging vertically and covering a few parts. Had another (repeated) shot of one of them with the seat of her pants torn out so you could see most of her butt cheek. Also noticed profanity, that's one of the things I respect about Larry Hama, he can tell a great story without resorting to profanity. The first pages had sexual innuendo as the guy who had apparently captured the girl was expecting her to have sex with him, and she pretended to play along so she could kick him in the privates. Not exactly Hama worthy story. If I can't read it in front of my son, then I have no business reading it.

Well said sir. I feel the same way about music and video games. When I'm playing on line and some kids start with the "F - you man" junk I flick on the headset and tell them "C'mon, you can do better then that right? Any knuckle dragging moron can say that. Get creative, be original". I've actually made a few friends on line with the same kids saying "F you" once we started talking. Of course a bunch say "You sound old." to which I tell them the truth, I am old. I'm turning 40 in a couple of months. It gets quite the reaction from them and most of the time they calm down when they realize I'm as old as their dad.
Of course I still swear from time to time, like when I almost missed a red light a few months back and said Sh**! That was the first time I swore in front of my son and thankfully he missed it.
Have a child really made me grow up I guess. ;D

ha! I bet your kid didn't miss it. He's probably going to use it at the worst time. Happened to me with my oldest daughter but mom took the blame for that one as it was definitely one of her words.
Anyways back on topic. In general I don't often care for crossovers.

I'm gonna disagree. While I definitely prefer and use "clean humour", sometimes an errant f-bomb can have stupendous comedic effect. It just depends on whether it's well-placed or gratuitous. Profanity wouldn't be such a problem if kids knew when and when not to use it. Heck - that applies to adults too!!!
That being said, my experience reading Gen13 was that the "adult" content was *all* gratuitous. So if that's not your thing, stay away!
-
one only has to see X-Men: First Class and the Wolverine cameo to know the value and comedy of the well-placed f-bomb.
-
Ive been a fan of J Scott Campbell, so I will definately take a look at this when it comes out.
