The selection this week was Captain America, but since we’ve had Cap fairly recently, I’m making this round about Steve Rogers. As you may or may not know, Rogers is now the head of both the Avengers and SHIELD, unmasked and in uniform as Captain Steve Rogers in a very Fury-esque style. So give his new look a try…

R3 Jam: Bubblegum Crisis

This one will either take you back, or befuddle you. Bubblegum Crisis was a popular anime in the 80s. Basically girls in sleek powered armor riding motorcycles that transformed into bigger armor FOR their armor. And they were pop stars of course. And had sleep overs.

Anyway, you can read about them here:

And there are lots of images around the supernet. I’m posting a bunch below to get you started.

Well, it’s not news that Jim Lee did a redesign for Wonder Woman, as part of their new mainstreaming push to put DC in the modern era, and it’s getting a lot of press, which is what they wanted.

That said, this is our opportunity to take another pass at the redesign effort. So put yourself in his shoes. The challenge is the same: Redesign Wonder Woman to be more contemporary in appearance. What that means is up to you. You shouldn’t feel the need to radically change her look (from whatever you consider her classic style, since that evolved over time) nor should you feel obligated to keep much of it. The theme is: a contemporary update. How you accomplish that is up to you.

Have at it!

Sorry for the delay between jams. I was on a bike for a week and recovering thereafter. Time for a new selection!

So the next jam is supergirl. We had this character some years back but its popped up twice in the last year of random selections as submitted by newer members so I figure time to make it happen again in 2010. You think you guys can handle another lithe powerhouse blonde girl in spandex?

This jam will run through this upcoming week, so you should be able to squeeze it in in between all the world cup hoopla and oil spills.

You’d think I made this one up, but no, one of our esteemed members has incredibly good taste…

The League of Distinguished Gentlemutants is how it was described. Neo-victorian, retro themed versions of the X-Men of your choice. Have fun with this design challenge!

Modesty wasn’t well known by much of today’s contemporary reading audience but Peter O’Donnell’s character was an early female super spy character that embraced a lot of the vibe of the Bond type British espionage hero, but with a gender bending female twist. Sadly, the creators death recently at the age of 90 was overshadowed by that of Frank Frazetta. So, this week, get out your pencils and let’s take a stab at Modesty, for science!
