Miss Martian, Before and After

Now that my scanner is back in business, I can show the two widely varying art styles used in Teen Titans #41 thatI complained about back in late November. First, we have one of the artists (I have no idea which one), getting Miss Martian right:

Cute Miss Martian

Then, a scant four pages later:

Miss Martian Goes Bad

All I can think is that someone told the artist that Miss Martian should look like Starfire from the animated series, and the artist instead looked at the more recent Starfire art. Ick. I guess we know why Miss Martian needs the red straps, though.

    [...] Your When Fangirls Attack links of the day: So, did Darwyn Cooke manage to dodge the various racial stereotypes found in Will Eisner’s version of The Spirit? How did he handle Ebony? Ragtime takes a look. Also: Miss Martian uses her awesome superpowers to transform from realistically drawn teenage girl to Fanboy Fantasy Slut… in just four pages! Finally, let’s take a moment and offer Ragnell congratulations on When Fangirls Attack’s first anniversary. [...]

    Those don’t even look like the same artist! How much time went by? cause it looks like she either went from age 12 – 22 or she got one heck of a boob job in there.

    Yep, that’s a different artist and pretty much par for the course.

    Of course she is a shapeshifter, so maybe she changed shape, the better to distract the enemy with…yeah, that’s the ticket!

    Hey! I noticed that too! According to the book, there was about two or three different artists on number 41 and many many different inkers.

    Tony Daniel does TT regularly, but he did scant to none work in 41. He normally draws Miss Martian pretty normally. But yeah, near the end when the artist changes from the one who did all the actiony stuff with Bombshell, to the part where Diana Prince comes in it was OMG huge boobie attack. Especially with Diana AND Cassie. :)
