*On their way to retrieve their collective emo*

Roy: I can’t believe you idiots lost Grant!

Al: Hey, this isn’t our fault! We’re ALL worried about him!

Jesse, while Rick comforts her: God, if anything’s happened to him- I won’t be able to live with myself!

Neal, in full Dr. Polaris gear, calmly: Oh, none of you will need to.

Roy: we know, Neal.

Neal: because I’ll kill you.

Roy: we know, Neal.

So… updates.

Knight Terrors Blue Beetle I’ll probably release fully in August. Or before the end of the year. I dunno, I’ve been obsessed with My Adventures With Superman a lot this month (and Intergang have not been helping) but I still think about Blue Beetle a lot. May open commissions soon since I need to start making money and I’ve been losing some hours at work. Finally, here’s some designs I did some time back to hype myself for the movie. Tried inking with a different brush and I’ll improve these designs if needed, definitely improved my anatomy since then. Might also have a big post in mind soon, look forward to that!

Jeff they are TERRIFIED. Someone is kidnapping supervillains and shipping them off to an alien planet and they won't even tell anybody WHERE. Why would they break out when you're their only hope?

Green Lantern Villain Movie Ideas, Part VI: Doctor Polaris

Neal Emerson AKA Doctor Polaris is functionally Green Lantern's "magnet powers" gimmick villain. A brilliant scientist studying magnetic fields, Neal has dissociative identity disorder, not unlike Harvey Dent or Moon Knight, his alternate personality evil and bent on using his knowledge of magnets for world domination and other such things like that. The good personality also tends to be a great help to Green Lantern at certain points.

Origin Movie: I guess he'd be a good villain if you wanted to go for a smaller scale series where Hal/John/Kyle was just patrolling Earth and dealing with threats there. Especially if he figures out how to use his magnets to make the green energy malfunction.

Sequel Movie: Likewise, the "make the energy malfunction" aspect could be good for a smaller scale sequel, where the first movie shows them learning to use their powers, then the sequel brings along Polaris as someone who forces them to fight without it.

Finale Movie: Why him, of all people? He's another one of those who just isn't a big enough threat to justify making the villain of a full series.

Supporting Villain: There are a few places he could work as a secondary villain, or even have Neal act as an ally to Hal throughout the plot.

Here are my rankings of them:

Supporting Villain: Probably the best place for him.

Sequel Movie: Slightly better than origin, simply because it presents a different challenge after the first teaches mastery.

Origin Movie: A bit more rushed than sequel, but fine.

Finale Movie: No.

What do you think? Who should I cover next?

[isfjmel-phleg]

In Grant's earlier appearances, he's written with a tic of using "wuhl" in place of "well" as an interjection. This would seem to imply some sort of accent, and I was curious what the implication was, because by all accounts, he shouldn't have a strong regional accent, if any. When his solo begins, he has moved eight times in the last four years, and probably more times before that. That's not long enough to pick up anything consistent.

Bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this.

"Wuhl" is a pronunciation that (from what I understand) in the US is associated with the rural Midwest or the South. Grant has just moved to Marietta, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta) when his solo begins, and before then, the Emersons lived in Dayton, Ohio. Which other states they've lived in is never mentioned.

So if he has any accent at all, it would most likely be from a place he lived in when he was still quite young. Which would rule out Dayton and Marietta. Not unlikely he might try to pick up on speech mannerisms in each new school to try to fit in, but the thing is...he doesn't use "wuhl" with Georgians. He doesn't always use it consistently; "well" appears in his vocabulary too.

In the instances of "wuhl" that I found, he is speaking to different people (his foster uncle Neal Emerson, someone connected with the lab that experimented on him, Ray Terrill, Kyle Rayner, and Roy Harper), who hail from a variety of locations. So what's the common thread?

These are all moments of vulnerability.

(Damage #9, 12, 14, and 16 / New Titans Annual #11)

In these panels, he is

Trying to get answers about his parentage from his foster uncle, who also happens to be a supervillain, and bringing up a potentially awkward theory of his that his uncle might be his real father.

Attempting to threaten a powerful woman who could give him answers about his past.

Pleading with a rather ticked-off Ray, whom he has met only once before, for his help with a dangerous venture.

About to admit to Kyle that he actually wants more danger on their mission in space because he's more comfortable in a war zone where "nobody's scared of me [...] they know a great weapon when they see one. And I don't have to worry all the time about hurting someone."

Trying to explain to his critical team leader why he was practicing using his powers (which inevitably got out of hand)--things got better later between him and Roy, but this harshness is typical of how Roy initially treated him.

With the possible exception of the panel from #12 (he's trying to bluster his way into getting information, so it's likely the seeming confidence is an act), he's feeling awkward about something in all of these cases. Note the body language--typically self-protective and/or compliant. And this is when "wuhl" slips out.

My guess is that it's a regionalism that he picked up when young (though there's a possibility it could be a Georgian thing he acquired more recently) and was educated out of using in general. He's usually quite strategic in how he interacts ("So if you cave, go all the way. Put on your best cheeser and be ready to beg!"), but reverting to sounding like a bit of a hick might be a sign of losing control over how he's coming across because of heightened anxiety.

"Wuhl" disappears from his speech entirely as of Titans 1999, in which he's (mostly) in a more stable environment, and continues to be absent through his time with the JSA as a young adult, when his speech gets a lot more profane rather than diffident and polite.

(Thank you to @brown-little-robin for her expertise on accents I'm not familiar with!)

#comicsposting again #GE: what I do is who I am #a tiny detail but it was clearly a deliberate writing choice and I wanted answers #...his body language around Roy here...oh my goodness #Roy is so gentle with him in Titans 1999 when he opens up about his childhood #but that hits harder if you realize that it wasn't always like that between them #that originally around Roy he was reverting to behaviors he would have learned to survive at home #(until he couldn't take it anymore and had a huge outburst and walked out. TWICE.)

How did they first meet?

What was their first impression of each other?

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

Who felt romantic feelings first?

Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

What would their lives be like if they had never met fer,,,,fer Polaris an hal,,,if you like,,,

How did they first meet? Someone was committing crimes I'm afraid, and also running a magnet conference...

What was their first impression of each other? Hal: This guy is really weird about magnets. Neal: This seems like a guy who has NO friends.

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together? If it has to be a Green Lantern villain... Neal is probably not that bad as an option... he is not sexually attracted to corpses... but also no of course not. Maybe Damage would support it but I don't know that he'd care.

Sonar also thinks he is a better option for Hal and WILL crash any weddings they have.

Who felt romantic feelings first? Neal but he probably decided it was more of a hate sex kind of deal.

Did either of them try to resist their feelings? Again I think Hal treats Neal like a normal dude most of the time so I don't think he would do it much. Neal might have more issues.

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think? Hal says: Thank God it isn't Sonar.

What would their lives be like if they had never met? Hal would have one less villain, but I don't think Neal would not be a villain without Hal... he might end up being an Al Pratt villain to tie him in with that family more, or maybe a Flash villain... he's obviously way too OP to be a Batman one...

Mikaela Davis & Circles Around the Sun — After Sunrise (Kill Rock Stars/Jealous Butcher)

Photo by Matthew Reamer

The Grateful Dead cast a long shadow over this free-jamming, fusion-funk collaboration, which sprinkles sparkly harp dust over 1970s synth boogie. Harpist Mikaela Davis is likely best known for her work with Bob Weir. She has also played with Bon Iver and the Punch Brothers and made this lovely alt-country solo album. For its part, Circles Around the Sun came into being when guitarist Neal Casal needed an instrumental band to play incidental music for the Dead-celebrating Fare Thee Well concerts in 2015. Casal died in 2019; John Lee Shannon now plays guitar, while Justin Kreutzmann (son of the Grateful Dead’s Bill Kreutzmann) is on drums.

Given those extensive links, you might expect After Sunrise to lean into a hippie folk good time groove, but while the vibes are sunny, the sounds tap into Tangerine Dream-ish synth prog. “Gloaming Way” starts in pristine, pretty harp figures, a sun-dappled, folk-rooted reverie. However, it’s only about a minute before the aesthetic shifts, a 1970s boogie arising from syncopated guitar and harp, laid atop big blasts of synth. It’s a percolating mix, expertly played but resembling sitcom sound-trackery. “Moonbow” likewise dusts blurting funk with trebly harp star dust, an uneasy meld of porno-thrust and dream sequence. If you like Stanley Clarke’s gleaming, futuristic funk or Emerson Lake & Palmer’s technologically enabled arena rock, you might enjoy this. It’s a little too clean and muzaak-y for me.

The set closes with a long, live performance of “Language,” the title track from Circles Around the Sun’s fourth full-length, which gives you a sense for this band’s loose, vibe-y conjunction of disco groove and intergalactic riot. Davis’ harp careens over pop-locked syncopation, leaving cascading trails of silver on surreal washes of tone. It sure doesn’t sound like the Grateful Dead, more like an instrumental Earth Wind and Fire or “The Hustle” on a lot of acid. Not my bag, but maybe yours.

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

The guitar Eddie Van Halen used in the music video for Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" is going up for auction at Sotheby's.

The custom-made Kramer axe has a minimum bid of $1.8 million, and is valued at between two and three million dollars.

According to Sotheby's, stage-used and -filmed guitar was custom made by Paul Unkert of Kramer Guitars for Eddie Van Halen, including important innovations customized for Eddie's evolving guitar technique. It served as one of Eddie Van Halen's primary guitars in 1983 and 1984. The guitar was gifted by Eddie Van Halen to the band's retiring drum tech Gregg Emerson around 1990. Emerson subsequently gave the guitar to his nephew, who sold the guitar to Neal's Music in Huntington Beach, California. Neal's Music then sold the instrument to its current owner.

The guitar comes with a letter of provenance by Unkert, a signed photograph from Eddie Van Halen, its original case with tour and Warner Brothers tags, and the strait jacket and white gloves worn by Van Halen in the video.

Unkert's accompanying letter details the guitar's history: "The 'Hot For Teacher' Van Halen [guitar] was built by me at the Kramer Green Grove Road Plant in Neptune, NJ around 1982-1985/ #CO176. Look for 'Unk' stamps on Neck and Body. It was my last project for Ed and Kramer."

Bidding for the guitar closes next Tuesday, April 18.

"Hot For Teacher" appeared on Van Halen's album "1984". The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) objected to the song after its original release, calling for it to be pulled from both the radio and television, due to the track's sexually suggestive lyrics referring to sex with a teacher, and a female teacher stripping in the video, among other issues.

In 2009, "Hot For Teacher" was named the 36th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.

The "Hot For Teacher" video was filmed at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, California. Because the school had been shut down due to insufficient funds at the time the video was recorded, Van Halen not only paid to rent the school for four days of filming but they also contributed money to the city to help get it reopened.
