"Thanks, kid. I appreciate the sentiment. Just like I appreciate you folks taking care of business in my absence." #Inktober 30/31: Clark's back! He was just, uh, buried under some rubble for a few weeks.
"I know the odds we're up against. I may die here, but I'm not committing suicide! Some people say I'm the world's biggest boy scout. Well, you know the scout's motto--always be prepared!" #Inktober 23/31: He's back, and he's strapped.
"Show me some spirit, and use your shape-changing power to mend yourself, love." "It will be painful, difficult, Lex... but for you, I would move mountains." #Inktober 21/31: Supergirl! No, not the one from Krypton, the shape shifting goo alien from an alternate dimension!
"I've come back. I'm different... due to the damage. But it's me. I'm Superman." #Inktober 16/31: Cyborg Superman! I don't know, there's something about this guy that seems less than trustworthy.
"Anybody could put on a blue suit and claim to be Superman! If you're really Superman, prove it!" #Inktober 15/31: Lois Lane - and her intrepid companions Bubble-Up and Teletype!
"Stay down, we're in a kill zone now!" #Inktober 13/31: Legally distinct from Captain America, it's Guardian! (Tried to infuse a little of that Kirby energy)
"I'll give this pup a good home... an' name 'im for my fav'rit. Who was kinda last'a his litter, too." #Inktober 11/31: Bo "Bibbo" Bibbowski, Superman's other, other pal.
"Here he comes, Maggie! Ugly sucker!" #Inktober 9/31: Dan Turpin, head of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit (not sure that cannon is standard issue, Dan).
"Hate. Some say it is a waste of energy; a useless emotion that keeps one from achieving one's ultimate potential. But for Lex Luthor - a man whose accomplishments surpass the wildest dreams of most men - hate is everything." #Inktober 8/31: 90's brain transfer Australian Lex!
"Hey, Beetle, if it's a really cool monster maybe we should capture it -- and take it on the talk-show circuit for big bucks!" #Inktober 7/31: Booster Gold! (Sorry, forgot to scan the pencils for this one!)
"Don't wuss out, boyscout! Put this Doomsday guy in a pine box -- or I'll crawl offa this gurney and kick both o'yer butts!" #Inktober 5/31: Don't call him Green Lantern, it's Guy Gardner!
"Somewhere else... Doomsday is coming!" "Unrelentingly... Doomsday is coming!" "Unstoppably... Doomsday is coming!" "Unbelievably... Doomsday is here!" So begins The Death of Superman, and so begins #Inktober! 1/31, Doomsday in his containment suit.
