Women Wrestling Wednesday Webcomic Alert: Rival Angels

Rival Angels follows Sabrina "Ultragirl" Mancini and her three roommates as they become worthy women wrestlers of the world. The story is more behind the scenes so you will get an insight on their personal journey outside the square ring. The web comic is drawn and written by Alan Evans aka albone. A new strip is added every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The artwork is clean and the characters are very interesting. I still have a lot of the web comic to catch up on but I enjoyed what I have read so far. So if you enjoy women wrestling, be sure to check out Rival Angels.

Women Wrestling Wednesday: Batgirl vs Black Canary

Yes, two Birds of Prey battle it out in the square ring thanks to pepeloco999 and his mad gaming skills. Batgirl's long red hair and Black Canary's black fishnet stockings is sure to get your blood pumping during this recent cold snap.

Vampirella Christmas Motorcycle

I am out of Christmas artwork by Nick Powell but I do have another with Vampirella in a holiday pose. The weather is still cold here but snow is falling so I need something to warm me up again. The following art has Vampirella sitting on a motorcycle while holding Santa's head.

I Want Vampirella For Christmas

We are having a blast of sub-zero wind chills today so I figured that Vampirella decked out for Christmas would help warm things up. The artwork by Nick Powell is at least warming me up.

Supergirl's Alternate Santa Costume

Nick Powell was actually more creative with Sugergirl's alternate Santa costume. Her top, mini-skirt and cape actually matches the hat complete with the white fur trim. I love the white snake in diamond symbol (that's the S shield for those not in the know). I actually like this one better of the two.

Blog Alert: Booksteve's Library

Booksteve's Library is another blog that I have been following for a while now. He covers a wide range of topics from books and comics to movies and tv. His recent post is in memory of Bettie Page so it seems appropriate that I write about his blog today.

Bettie Page Passes On

Fetish model and pin-up queen of the 1950s, Bettie Page aka Betty Page, passed away on Thursday, December 11, 2008 at the age of 85. She was the girlfriend of Cliff Secord aka The Rocketeer in the comic book created by Dave Stevens (he later would meet and help her). In 1991, Betty Page In 3-D was published by the 3-D Zone. Dark Horse published the following two one shots: Bettie Page Comics (1996) and Bettie Page Comics Spicy Adventure (1997). They pubished a three-issue mini-series in 2000 titled Queen of the Nile that featured her (the issues were collected in a trade paperback with the same name).
