Just wondering, is there a ship name for these two or are they so rarely shipped that they’re still nameless? If anyone’s good at this kind of thing, please come up with something ç.ç
Oh god DAMN it. I hate this ship, but… the art is so gorgeous I have to reblog it T-T
Oh I love it when you flex, Rose. You magnificent, angry, badass girl.
From issue 57.
Shame the artist from the final TT run didn’t give her that gorgeous muscle tone from the comic series mid-run.
How Big A Factor…?
Just wondering what goes into your decision to purchase a comic at a comics store? For this question, I am only talking about buying a comic off the rack at the comics shop, please.
How important is:
The cover?
The artwork?
The writer’s name?
The publisher?
The genre?
The lead character (s)?
Whether or not the story is an ‘event’ comic?
Cover- negligible
Artwork- as long as it’s passable to be clear and doesn’t have distorted bodies or flat, muddy colors. “Clean and clear” is what I’m looking for in art, basically.
Writer- negligible, unless it’s someone I really hate or love
Publisher- anyone but Marvel
Genre- no preferred genre, as long as it’s interesting
Lead characters- 90% of what I look for in a comic is its characters. If I don’t like the lead characters in a book, I won’t buy it.
Events- wait for reviews and buy if I hear good things. I still have nightmares from “Cry for Justice.”
So, more thoughts on Rose after reading her appearances in The Ravagers #12 and Deathstroke #20. Will be under the cut because spoilers and it’s pretty long for a tumblr post.
Oh good eye. I didn’t notice that. I don’t even know if I should be happy he…
Yeah, it’s really a “pick your poison” kind of thing at this point… dead Joey, or psycho Joey? *sigh* why couldn’t he back to his old, mute, adorable self before DC screwed it up? He and Rose meeting for the first time was one of the sweetest moments I remember before the reboot with either character.
And yeah, no idea where she’ll go next. Possibly the Teen Titans, since Red Robin already tried to extend that invite, plus her history with Superboy… but on the other hand she seems like more of a loner type, and not someone who would go crawling up to them and asking to join out of the blue. I’d say she would actually be a good fit for RHaTO, but I have a personal ire towards Jason, so I’d rather not have that happen >.> especially since they’d go and pair her up with Jason because, why the hell not.
Wherever she shows up, I just want it do be in a book that isn’t in any danger of being cancelled in half a year, and with a writer who doesn’t ruin her.

Nice post. Deathstroke 20 was horrible. The only good thing about it was…
Ah, sorry, forgot to elaborate on that part. There is a panel on the last page where it shows one of the soldiers with glowing green eyes, insinuating that Jericho jumped to a different body before he died.
And yeah, I get the feeling that this issue and the last were part of some editorial thing to cull the Wilson family back down to Rose and Slade and force them apart again or something… whatever, been done before, and it’s no better here.
But now that Rose is free from Harvest, she could show up anywhere, so here’s hoping it’s somewhere good when she does return. And as for her new power, yeah, it’s pretty sweet.
So, More on Rose…

The Ravagers #12 Preview
Okay, so some interesting things in this preview, as the final issue hits. For one, we know that Deathstroke is not in fact killing the Ravagers. How do we know this? Well, because Terra was alive and well in Deathstroke #19 last month, which takes place after the end of this series. She and Rose were given up by Harvest to Deathstroke as payment for this job.
So, we can infer that the “Pokéblade” theory that some people came up with is in fact what is happening here; that special blade that Harvest gave Deathstroke is not killing them, but in fact capturing them somehow.
Also, we know that Beast Boy is not captured by Deathstroke, as in Teen Titans #19 he was shown unconscious in the rubble of the Ravagers facility and taken away by Raven. I’m willing to bet that this is because of interference by Rose and Caitlin, who were after something in the lab that could stop Deathstroke.
I am also much more intrigued to see what goes down on that end of things, with Caitlin now knowing that she is a clone of the original Caitlin, and we should also find out how Rose already knew that, as well as her apparent history with Niles and his lab. I hope we also get some real clarification on Rose’s backstory, after they went and convoluted the hell out of it in Deathstroke #19.
