"Girls With Goggles": Brian Douglas Ahern

Briz's favorite characters to draw are either young or female, so I put together a duo that's both. His previous commission for me teamed Kitty Pryde of the X-Men and Excalibur with The Spirit, so this time we went for the merry mutants' other "little sister," Jubilee. I paired her with Jesse Quick after seeing a great depiction of Jesse on Briz's Web site. The similar features of the characters' costumes made this a perfectly subtle "Common Elements." I love the way Briz incorporates Jesse's speed formula by making it part of Jubilee's light show.

This is Common Elements #20.
