@HalcyonTraveler "We needed to know, without a shadow of a doubt, who was the deadliest fighter in the world... that our demon would actually be able to beat."
@DCsDoctorFate Ed Benes never misses a chance to make a point or two.
"Once more, I have business in that decrepit cesspool they call Gotham City. The first of you miserable Gothamite curs to give me the keys to your penthouse will receive the honor of being kicked in the face and called a pig by me. And if you throw in a car, I may step on you."
@SpiderEmblem So while the original O'Neil/Cowan run ended with issue #36, they "brought it back" for one more issue around 2010 starring Renee Montoya, Tot and Shiva fighting Black Lantern Vic Sage. O'Neil co-wrote it with Greg Rucka and they got Cowan and Sienkiewicz to do the art.
Word is that CuriousCat is RIP so y'know, if anyone has any questions about Lady Shiva and Lady Shiva-related topics, you can always tag me or send me a DM.
Just know that if it's a "Who'd win in a fight", the answer is gonna be Lady Shiva. Even if she's not in the question.
LRT: the universal urge to see @NikolaCizmesija draw Lady Shiva beating the brakes off some poor bastard for 22 pages.
Sorry for the allcaps but I feel like it's been a while since I hyped her up.
It's not a bad instinct, and it can result in very appealing versions of the character, but I can't help but feel it misses out on the best, most unique characteristics of her, and on the sheer power of the contrast she can have with others who aren't like her.
I also think that's a problem for some writers, even good ones, because it flies in the face of everything that's supposed to make a character feel human and relatable. It drives writers to try & give her more tangible motivations or inner conflicts that I don't think she needs.
