It used to be that when DC solicits came out, I checked immediately if Ex Machina was out that month. It never was.

Now the first thing that I do is check the Power Girl solicit, to see who is starring in her book.

This time, I am sad
POWER GIRL #27
Written by matthew sturges • Art by HENDRY PRASETYA (but I assume that they mean Prasetyo
Cover by WARREN LOUW

Power Girl has 20 seconds to save the day – three times over! But who set up this dangerous game? Can Power Girl find a way to overcome not one but three disasters and track down the statistically-minded villain behind it all?
On sale AUGUST 17 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T


No guest stars but more importantly, NO SAMI BASRI!

Yes, it's a pretty cover, if very dull. Hopefully, this will just be a short break for Basri.

In fact, when I pick up Power Girl on Wednesday, I'm going to send DC an email saying that I really want Basri to stay on the book.

Shenanigans. She uses her laser vision to shave, just like Superman does.

Wouldn't that smell? Burnt hair, not so nice. I always wondered.

When Lois and Clark were rocky one time Lois complained about the terrible smell when he shaves with heat vision.

Shaves his FACE...his face...god...

Does he?? I am shocked that I missed that.

He does his chest too, at least. We SEE him topless.

Yeah the issue number fails me but it was somewhat recent. I think Lois was possessed or something, or something was affecting her.

Maybe Kryptonians are naturally hairless?

Yeah, it was actually Parasite, who was keeping Lois locked up in a vault or something and using her know-how to steal millions of dollars from LexCorp while draining Supes' powers.

Thank god right after Parasite replaced her, fake-Lois started acting like an ass and kicked Clark out on the couch. Reading that Deadpool rape post from yesterday just reminded me of the narrowly avoided fridge horror.

Hmmm....Superman has been drawn with chest hair on most occasions, so that doesn't make sense. And they definitely grow beards. Unless it's a female only thing?

I really shouldn't wank about this when it's so obvious the Gods of DC have the power to change physical appearance on a whim. THAT'S MY EXPLANATION.

Silver Age Kryptonians' hair and nails simply stopped growing under a yellow sun. Which was convenient, since they were so invulnerable that they couldn't even shave with heat vision.

Wouldn't that remove the hair permanently? Or at least, couldn't that remove the hair permanently?

Don't think so, it doesn't reach down as far as the root of the hair, only the surface bit down to skin level is affected.

From: [personal profile] feyandstrange
There's two ways of doing it: what we mortals call "laser hair removal" involves zapping heat down the hair to the shaft to destroy the hair follicle to prevent it from ever growing back. Then there's "just slice off the visible parts which means stubble and growbacks", which we mortals do with a razor and Supes does either by heating a piece of spaceship with heat vision, or just heat vision.

Both imply pretty damned good control of the heat/laser vision, too. And if I was Lois I'd at least be seriously thinking about letting Clark zap a few of my stray unwanted hairs. Maybe. It would be much cheaper than the salon...

Zap, not shave. See, Clark may for some dumbass reason *want* stubble. Or at least want the option of growing a Character Moment Beard in the future (since he already did the ponytail). So he surface-zaps.

Kara can just laser-vision the follicles to death in those places she's pretty sure she will never, ever want hair, and only deal with it once. Laser hair removal.

Yup, Kara's the type to get rid of her follicles altogether. Though I do see Kara as more of a landing strip gal, rather than full Brazillian.

But what if Kara wants to grow a Character Moment Bush in the future?

The anti lady-pube stance makes about as much sense to me as breast-binding in the flapper era. :/

a Character Moment Bush

Oh my word, I would buy that comic.

And if you would buy it, I would write it. ♥

Even if it was the world's most niche comic ever. Which it most certainly would be.

True, though, in my experience, not many men are keen on the idea of pubic waxing.

Well, very few people *enjoy* having hair ripped out of sensitive spots, but depending on who you hang out with (in my case, a much higher percentage of vain and/or queer men than usual), not uncommon for men to suffer for the sexy.
