Random comic and or comic-related pictures

Saw this posted in a thread; not sure exactly where it was first featured.
The base of it, of course, is Superman versus Muhammad Ali, circa late 1970s.
The theme of Harley Quinn versus Superman, but with Quinn in the role of hero, follows the relatively recent Injustice series. The artwork of Quinn is done well enough and inserted seamlesslessly enough that I suspect an actual DC professional or two had their hands in this. I'll update with more complete information if I ever happen upon it.

Slater Quain

Family matters: Mystique, her adopted daughter Rogue, etcetera.
Supposedly writer Chris Claremont debated having Rogue revealed as a biological daughter of Mystique instead of a merely taken in and cared for runaway.
I rather prefer things the way they turned out, granting Mystique a far deeper and more humane character.

Eerily reflects some actual comic art where Superman is reduced to near-corpse state by an Apollo-charged Faora and Zod.

The following makes me wonder if the author saw a film titled "The Prestige" a few years back ...

Amazes me sometimes how often the themes of one-eyed symbolism, "beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven", and transhumanism are shown in today's literature. Well, 1 and 3 at least. In the comicbook world, the meme of #2 has been seen since the World War II days of Captain Marvel, if not before, and the X-Men were practically founded on the transhumanism idea. This sort of thing is not usually something that keeps me up at night, mind you, but it IS something I notice from time to time.

The writer of the current Batman series has a LOT of respect for Bruce's fighting prowess. Here, he takes down Deathstroke AND Deadshot at nearly the same time.
