PROFILE
The youngest of the three most famous female nihonga artists of the Taishō era (1912-1926), Seien, along with Uemura Shōen 上村松園 (1875-1949) and Ikeda Shōen 池田蕉園 (1886-1917), was known as one of the "three 'en' of the three cities," Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.[1] She became best known for breaking with the traditional idealized/romanticized portrayals of women in the genre known as bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). She brought personal insight and experience into much of her early, pre-1924, work resulting in a realism absent in traditional bijin painting. These aspects of her work are epitomized in her 1918 painting titled Untitled an expressive self-portrait, discussed below.
Seien became an Osaka media sensation for her skill as a painter of haunting bijin scrolls , her success at the government sponsored Bunten exhibition in 1912 at the age of twenty, and her "striking looks".
Primarily a painter in the nihonga style, a mix of various Japanese styles and traditional materials often tinged with western influences, she was sought after as an illustrator for popular novels, women-focused magazines and, on occasion, a designer of woodblock prints. Her prints are extremely valuable and sought on by collectors.

Its a World Class story! The Superheroes save the world yet again.
Format: Kindle
The Superheroes save the world yet again.
Superman and his fortress are missing not every day run of the mill plot-- A Intrigue Lvl of 10
A new Green lantern 1st appearance makes it official. This 1st appearance should make it very valuable.
It is humorous, enjoyable and lighthearted. I could see this being a GREAT cartoon or anime!
The artwork is top notch and worldclass
A great story that could lead to a new Superhero in line with the DCU and modern times
A Job Well Done!!

An interesting "Elseworlds" story - not in main continuity.
Format: Hardcover
This story's starting premise is: what if unfriendly aliens arrived on Earth and Superman was missing in action?
The answer involves Batman taking the lead to assemble a team to combat the threat and arriving at the solution: to beat aliens and their weapons, you'll need alien weapons like the kind you might find inside the Fortress of Solitude.
It's an "Elseworlds/Multiverse" story, so things happen that likely wouldn't happen in the DCU we know and characters behave out of character from the ones we know.
Once you accept that, you'll enjoy the story more for what it is, in the universe it is set in.

Great storyline
Format: Kindle
Ending felt a little rushed but overall an immersive read. Excellent interesting concepts not explored before in Batman and Superman lore. And the book sets itself up for an interesting sequel, looking forward!

Beyond Bad
Format: Hardcover
Maybe one of the worst Batman stories I have ever read. Absolute garbage. Whoever wrote it seemed to be writing as if they only knew about Batman through fan fiction. Save your money, buy another story.
