Unfortunately for her, a slew of monsters begin appearing at around the same time! Juggling between being a full-time monster fighter, fashionista, and famous idol is a difficult task, and Carly's principles are put to the test as she weighs her options - and frustrations - as the masked maiden known as Kamen America. It's easier said than done, however, and Carly grows more and more frustrated as her goals become seemingly unattainable and her role remains unnoticed. Legacy Character: Deconstructed. Sylvia turns down the opportunity to usurp Carly's superhero identity, stating that the identity of 'Kamen America' isn't defined by a uniform or set of powers. Instead, she declares that the hero's identity is instead uniquely Carly's on account of all the good deeds and heroic work Carly had done while using that name. Oh well, I usually don't focus on something that I dislike and makes me mad, I just skip to the next thing I like. And that's what I'm going to do here, I just ranted first. Anyway, if someone knows the people behind this, please let them know I heard their wishes to avoid having to deal with my dirty money, and I'll try to remember to do so in the future as well. I really hate forcing people to do things they do not want to do. Plenty of people want my money and are willing to take it from me. I love me some lurid manga/anime and I am always curious when western creators try their hands at replicating the mediums with western sensibilities. And this caught my eye with the garishly colorful, american superhero anatomy-focused style and culture hybrid title.

Good Shepherd: Carly's priest, Father Blatty, is depicted as being compassionate and caring towards his congregation. He's also revealed to be part of the Vatican's combat exorcist program, though he may have retired from that.Helstar wrote: I am not really sure what's going on with this comic book company about this title specifically, but there is another field of my interest where this ''limited edition'' thing is in place on purpose: heavy metal vinyl market (but sometimes also for cd market). Kamen America is a superhero comic series and the flagship property of Iconic Comics. It is written by Mark Pellegrini and illustrated by Tim Lim, together known as NINJAINK. A twist of fate occurs during a tour for the troops abroad when a freak accident from the skies turns Carly into aliving battery:super-charged and able to manipulate her bio-electricity into weapons and granting her the ability to fly .... andshe becomes a blonde. That's sort of important later. But since he’s selling all the he copies he wanted to make, he’s probably doing quite well w/o my money. Wish him well.

I've really given this comic way too much attention ... I HATE HATE artificial scarcity to drive interest, and this is the ONLY explanation for what we're seeing. There is no other reason to limit the Physical copies on KS and Indigogo (it ain't the guy's first rodeo so he's doing it on purpose). I'm going to rant for a second. I really love that it was posted here, this isn't about that, finding things like this is one of the reasons I come here! Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: This series is close to the 'idealism' side of the scale. The heroes are generally able to stop and even redeem the villains without having to make moral compromises. Lim & Pellegrini are among my favorites in the new world of non-traditionally produced-and-distributed comics. Why?Expy: Carly Vanders is an expy of both DC's Supergirl and Marvel's Captain Marvel, who respectively have the similar names of Kara Danvers and Carol Danvers and are already expies of each other. Similar names aside, Kamen America's outfits draw from both Supergirl's All-American Face and Captain Marvel's original Ms. Fanservice Leotard of Power, and not there's also all 3 parties sharing blond hair. They also possess similar powers. Phenotype Stereotype: Though it's a western superhero comic, Kamen America is heavily Manga Influenced too (as per the name of the comic), and therefore Carly's All-American Face, blond hair, blue eyes, tall height and general proportions poke at how Japanese audiences stereotypically view Americans. High School AU: The second web series, Kamen Academy, functions as this: it sets all the main characters as students in the same high school. It's not quite like what is going on there .. the vinyl versions are almost specialized art objects -- I wonder how many are actually played regularly? The music is still available some other way (though it might be different in the heavy metal market? It isn't in other music markets).
