Card Art #8 & #9

Back to regular rotation of talking about DC feat card I went back and customized with artwork for fun. (Here’s a link back to the original concept.)

Still on Icons feats. Next in line should be either Unstoppable, Brilliant Tactician or Divebomb. But somehow I completely missed out on the first two, and the third is no longer usable in HeroClix:

“When soaring, the character may make close combat attacks against grounded characters.”

Soaring’s been gone as a game mechanic since early 2008. So, no Card Art feature for it (though I did make one. It never got uploaded to the site, though).

Instead, let’s finish up the feats of Icons with Siphon Power:

This was a tough one to pick art for. I needed something that didn’t say “I, vampire” and was kinda  heroic and would fit in the tiny sliver of room afforded by the too-long, too-useless text of this horrible feat. The closest thing I could find was this art from the first JSA story arc in which Star Spangled Kid rushes at big bad Mordru with a power-siphoning infant in hand.

Comics are strange.

Thankfully, for the final feat in the Icons set, the art was much simpler to find and the results much more elegant.

From the excellent “Batgirl: Year One” miniseries circa 2004 by Chuck Dixon and Marcos Martin.

OK. Maybe I’ve gotten this little feature back on track. Tomorrow, it’s more Token Totin’ time!
