Are you sure it is supposed to be the DCM Tetsuko?  Or just some random muscle chica named Tetsuko?  The only things this particular Tetsuko has in common with DCM's Tetsuko is that she is blonde and super buff.  She is lacking DCM Tetsuko's green eyes, as well as her extremely long hair.

Of course, if the artist doesn't know about DCM's Tetsuko, he might learn about her via DCM's post.  He probably won't be dissappointed.

My guess is that Sirius learned of Tetsuko from Kinsyo's version, and probably hadn't seen enough of my work to pick up on details like eye color.

He still must've liked what he saw enough to want to draw her himself, though.

Yeah, I remember "Pets". The artsy-fartsy effect flashHEART.EXE mentioned was frustrating; I wish they'd just show the flexing footage straight.

On the other hand, it was gratifying to see them put women bodybuilders in the video at all!

How long has this site been around? I'm a little discombobulated at finding another "Dyna" character floating around the Web… 😐

The central problem is that they see her (and all of the other superheroic characters in their stable) as a merely a commodity for merchandising

It's instructive to remember why She-Hulk was created in the first place: to forestall the copy-cat characters Marvel feared would be created in the wake of the success of the Incredible Hulk TV series.

So it's small wonder she gets short shrift from her publishers.

How about David Lee Roth's California Girls?  I seem to remember some nice bodies in that video, but can't find it on the web.

Teagan Clive and the late great Kay Baxter, if my memory serves me correctly. Another oldie-goodie!

I haven't read Vol. 4 #1 yet, so my thoughts are about the latest series in general…

This strikes me as being a better concept for a TV series than a comics series. As smitty noted, the title is "She-HULK", and for a comic book, that means you gotta have the title character in action.

But a TV series could get away with fewer appearances by the "main character"… it's practically a staple of TV adaptations of comics. Look at the George Reeves Adventures of Superman series (which, as it happens, I'm rewatching on DVD); look at the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno Incredible Hulk, the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series. Generally, the episodes will give more "story time" to the title charcter's alter-ego (Clark Kent, Bruce David Banner, Diana Prince), with the super persona appearing once before the first-half climax, and again at the main climax to stop the evil plot, rescue the innocents and capture the bad guys. (Hell, you could practically set your watch by when Bill Bixby transforms into Big Lou.)

And that's the feeling I got while I was reading the first few Dan Slott issues of She-Hulk: "What a great TV show this would make." Such a TV series would put most of its focus on Jennifer Walters in much the same way Slott has. (This would have practical considerations as well, indeed it'd probably be driven almost entirely by practicality: imagine the special-effects budget you'd need to convincingly portray a 7+ foot tall green giantess on TV – you'd need either CGI, the physical-effects methods used by Peter Jackson to portray the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings movies, maybe a combination of both with other methods. Naturally, you'd want to limit the time a special-effects character spends on screen to keep from blowing your budget.)

Anyway, that's what I'm thinking. Next week I'm going to try to score a copy of v.4 #1 myself.

Didn't someone else submit his colored rendition of "4th Place" back in the shegrew.com days?

I have it! Hope Chris doesn't mind my posting it…

This was colored by Maniac.
