Justice League Adventures #17
OK, here's the scans of JLA #17 that I promised.

What happens is, this evil Amazon named Aresia (she was a villian from the cartoon) shows up and takes on the Justice League. When she was a young woman, Aresia's country was ravaged by a male army. She took off on a boat which was sunk by male pirates. Pulled from the ocean, she was taken in by Wonder Woman's Amazon sisters and granted Amazon-like powers. Which would have all worked out fine if not for her, you know, CONSUMING RAGE. But whatever.

So Flash chases after Aresia. She cuffs him to something and takes off. This means he's out of the way, so he's the only male on the team *not* captured by Aresia when she whips out her Man-Affecting Hypno-Ray.

So, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter are all Aresia's minions now. But Flash comes up with a plan! He knows how he'll sneak onto the Amazon base...

Of course, he gets captured LESS THAN A MINUTE after he invades the base *anyway*, so I don't see how the disguise really helped at *all*... Time to get back to being regular!Flash!

Except of course he's still wearing lipstick.

The hilarious part is that throughout the whole comic book, *nobody makes fun of him* for wearing a dress. Nobody even really mentions it. It's like Wally does this kind of thing all the time. Well-- ok, nobody makes fun of him except Clark sort of offhandedly. (in case you can't read the caption in the upper right panel, Clark is saying that it's a good thing "Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman and Lady Flash" were there to save the day.)

So they completely eschew the cheap transvestite jokes, which is nice, except for the part where they go for the women's prison joke in the last panel! WTF! But okay.

I just could not stop staring at this in the store. Flash. In drag. FLASH IN DRAG. *flails*

There's also a great pair of panels I'll have to scan later, where WW and HG are having what passes for a deep philosophical conversation in this particular comic book...

WW: "Ever wonder what the world would be like if it were not full of man's weapons?"
HG: "I know what it would be like..." *holds mace out in front of her in the most freakin' phallic way to hold a mace you can possibly imagine* "It would be full of woman's weapons."

Go Hawkgirl! :D

Ah, too late.

I'm starting to think that anything MR touches is just cursed to be gay. He's like, Gayfinger. Or, King Gaydas.

And in other news, Flash and Hawkgirl are totally sharing a little sekrit love-gaze in that last panel. *sigh*

As much as I am all about the Hawkgirl/Flash, I have to say, that is more the look of "Oh, you are NOT about to make a women's prison joke! Oh no you're not!" than the look of love. *grins*

Reality is a choice, Livvie Bean.

You see what you wanna see, and I'll see what I wanna see.

Well, I'm not saying it *COULDN'T* be read as a Wally/Shayera moment.

"You know, Wally, that joke you made was kind of-- well."

"Which one? I-- oh, that one. Sorry! My mouth goes faster than my brain sometimes."

"Yes. I know."

"So, anyway, now that I've worn your shoes and all, I think I really understand you a lot better. You know, as a woman. Do you think--"

"You think because you wore some uncomfortable shoes, you have insight?"

"Well--"

"Put them on again."

"Exsqueeze me?"

*taps mace in hand* "Put them on again. We were in a combat situation before. I didn't get a chance to... fully appreciate your brilliant plan."

*zip* *fwoosh* *Lady Flash!*

"So, um... whaddaya think?"

*slowly circles him*

"Not bad. But I don't think you have the skin tone for pink."

"Well, I'm really a redhead, but I figured we already had a gorgeous lady redhead on the team, so why even try to compete?"

"Really? I mean... stop that!" *makes serious face*

"Awww, are you blushing?"

"...no. Why should I be? You're the one in the dress."

"Yeah, but it looks good on me! You should see it on the floor, too, though. Say, your bedroom floor?"

*MACE*

(the end, thank god)

I think you just made my day.

And I wish, wish WISH someone with the inside line would send the scans to Michael. *dies laughing* Oh my god, this is the funniest thing I've seen since Sam got up on the chair at the panel, yesterday.

*mwah* Many thanks for posting, Livia!

Flash makes a lovely gal, just like MR. The sexy Hoyay vibe keeps spreading throughout comicbook land.

*collapses into giggles* It's so funny that MR always gets the drag roles - but he dose them so well. ;)

..There is also Bart in drag. On one occasion in a pink dress, even. I think it kinda runs in the speedster family.

Hey... I realize that this post is old as dirt, but I've been looking for scans of Wally in drag. I've been smitten with a burning desire to see what that looks like.

So if you still have these somewhere, I'd really appreciate it if you could send them to me.

Thanks!
