Hero #12-#14
Gender | | |
Tough guy Joe Hamill thought it would be great to use the H-E-R-O device...but he got more than he bargained for! Now he's been transformed into Electro Lass, and, having lost the mystical dial, he has no way to transform back into his manly self. What's a guy...er, girl...to do?
His wife Amy ...more |

Just noticed that DC's website has added a few pags of art (not
colorized though) of issue 12 on the link already provided. It
shows the transformation and initial reaction. Gotta admit, Electro
Lass looks pretty hot. And if you check out february, there's
another cover with our transformed hero/ine. Notice the difference
in appearance from what's inside vs. the covers.

Grrrr... Looks like this one's off to a less than auspicious start
from the get go.
The few panels we see in the preview introduce "Joe" as... get
this... a lunkhead, catcalling, hardhat neanderthal whistling at
passing chicks. Ha ha, just wait till he sees what's in store for
him.
WOW!!!
GEEE!!! NOBODY has EVER tried THAT kind of story line before!!!
How tired of a plot can you get?
This comic's supposed to come out in January of 2004, but when was
it written? 1975????
Look out Joe! It's women's lib! Gotta go save President Ford!
Maybe it'll be totally different once the whole thing is published.
Maybe we'll find out "Joe" is really an actor and what we've seen
so far was him rehearsing a scene. Maybe those panels were really
just a red herring and they don't appear in the comic at all.
But right now, it looks like this promising story will really turn
out to be a dumb caricature. Too bad.

Corwin, I think you made some good points. It is a secondary topic
in many TG items in the media. Cleo/Leo, Dating the Enemy, Goodbye
Charlie etc. The man is always the one that needs to be taught a
lesson. Now I am not saying in those situations that it was not
necessary, but the writers can be a little more original in their
thinking with new TG releases.

hey they do it to girls too!
in theHot Chick flick, Jessica a selfish cheerleader is stuck in a
30ish male bod and has to grow up a l;ittle before getting back her
body.
Not that that wasn't a poorly written film about a stereotype as
well, but they don't just pick on men as jerks!
Just more often ;)

The "learning a lesson" device is a perfectly legit one and a good
rationale for a change-of-life story. But if that's to be the
approach, why oh why is it so often done so very badly? It's as if
the only character that writers can dream up is a knuckle-walking
moron who needs a 2x4 upside the head! (or a self absorbed princess
who's... what else? ...a cheerleader!)
Yes, yes it's just a comic book, but how about a real person
instead?
It can work. Fantasy Island's "Estrogen" episode centered around a
guy who was NOT an asshole and found out he didn't have to be.
Andre in "Season of the Witch" had the bleak cynical worldview of a
gigolo and learned to be a human being capable of love.
Instead it's as if someone's thinking "The bad guy gets killed in
scene 5. Let's have him uh... kick the dog in scene 2 and uh... go
to a Klan meeting in scene 4! Yeah that's the ticket!"
...So Joe harrasses the blonde in the fourth frame. Oh, an' y'
gotta be luvin' all de apostrophes to show dese guys got blue
colla' accents.
Great. Now we hate this guy. Who cares what happens to him next? It
wouldn't take much thought, or any more ink, to create someone a
teensy bit less cardboard. Too bad no one tried this time.

You missed one. He's a hard hat construction worker too! Looks like
just lazy unimaginative writing to me. A couple of cheap easy stock
cues to set up for the big switcharoo. The artwork looks pretty
good though. It'll be nice to see it in color.

Come on, wait a second guys. At least wait until it comes out
before you start bashing it. I just picked up the "H-E-R-O: Powers
and Abilities" collection (issues #1-6) and it was really good. The
writer does a good job of turning the genre cliches on their heads,
as well creating believeable characters and good plotting. So wait
until issues #12-15 come out, and then flip through them in the
store before buying them. You might be suprised how much you like
it. :)

Joe Hamill is stuck as the gorgeous super-heroine, Electro Lass,
after losing the H-E-R-O device. The stress builds after a
"disturbing encounter" with his male friend, and he turns to his
ex-girlfriend for help. (Published February 2004)

I can't get the preview to work. Is the link working? Is there some
other place I can view the artwork?

It looks like the link has been removed from the site, but the file
it points to is still there. You can get to it at:

Don't know if you realize it, but pictures 15 and 16 are the same.

Thanks! I didn't miss any, just got my numbers goofed up! #4 isn't
there either for the same reason, but all the pages are there, just
misnumbered! I was dead tired when I scanned it and made the page,
but I was determined to get it out!
