Special-Girl, Special-Man, & Luscious Trapp On Why Luscious Should Join “Directive Counterbalance”

ccc-113-specialgirlspecialmanandluscioustrapp

I think I said before that “Superwoman” was one of the better of “DC Comics” “Rebirth” titles. Yeah, scratch that. What was interesting about the first issue was that the comic was about two women (“New 52 Lois Lane” and “Lana Lang”) who didn’t particularly like each other having to work together.  What I thought was a typical first issue cliffhanger seem to have been the full-on death of “New 52 Lois Lane”.  So now the comic is basically “Lana Lang” and her boyfriend “Steel”.  Now the comics is just “meh”.

They also relaunched the “Supergirl” comic. What they should’ve done was scrap everything with “New 52” “Supergirl” and start over while making the comic as much like the TV show as possible. Rather than do that they sorta half assed it and took some elements from the show and the seem to have made “Supergirl” a teenager.

Tomorrow Luscious is joined about by Quickie and Hell’s Hunter as Quickie takes his turn trying to get Louscious to join “Directive Counterbalance”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I’ve gone over how I’m not a fan of the “Inhumans”, and moreso not a fan of “Marvel” pushing them especially at the expense of mutants/ the “X-men”. Last week the first issue of  “Death Of X” came out and this comic basically explains it. “Inhumans” get their powers for the “terrigen mist” which seems to kill mutant and supposedly the “Inhumans” knew this and released it anyways.  I figure that there has to be more to this story because this just makes the “Inhumans” entirely the bad guys. I think this is all leading some some big “X-men VS Inhumans” event which unless it’s basically just the “X-men” killing most of the “Inhumans” (and it won’t) is gonna stupid and pointless.

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”! Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I was pretty disappointed with last week’s season 3 premiere of “The Flash”.  It just seems like the same things over and over.  We’ve done time travel, we’ve done fighting other speedsters to death, and we’ve done alternate realities/ timelines. This alternate timeline wasn’t even all that interesting. I mean seriously, Caitlyn is an eye doctor?!

ccc-110-specialgirlj-popluscioustrappc

The first issue of “Marvel’s” new “Champions” series came out last week. It’s an okay comic. Most of the heroes were part of the “All New All Different Avengers”, and their reason for leaving that team is kinda flimsy. Something about fighting during “Civil War II” and not doing enough to fix things after battles.  This comic is mostly about how I decided to name my version of the “Teen Titans” “The Champion Crew” and how that is similar to “The Champions”.

After a lot of DVR trouble and a lot of online searching I saw the season 2 premiere episode of “Supergirl”. Overall it was pretty good. I definitely had my doubts about having “Superman” on the show, but so I far I think I was wrong. He acutally worked pretty well on the show. “Tess Mercer” “Lena Luthor” also seems like an interesting addition to the show. “Kara” being a reporter though… Seems like she should have a different job than her cousin. Oh and before I forget “Winn” sucks. Every show doesn’t have to have some impossibly good tech person.

Tomorrow Louscious returns with Quickie and Hell’s Hunter to talk about their TV shows and some other stuff. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

In the comics “Misty Knight” has a bionic arm. That’s pretty much what this comic is about. I haven’t watched anymore of “Luke Cage” (still only about half way through), but nothing about the show would make me think the “Misty Knight” on that show is going to get some type of robotic arm by the end. Although if she did and it said “Stark” or something on it that would be awesome.

If you’ve been reading these comic for a while (and even more so if you follow me and Twitter and IG) you probably know I’m not a fan of “Agents Of Shield”.  Also as I said yesterday it really sucks they’re using “Ghost Rider” and not giving him a kickass “Netflix” show.  It truly sad because there’s no reason why the show should be as bad as it is. What it comes down to it the characters suck.  “Skye” (I’m never referring to her as “Daisy” or “Quake” because she was SUCH a bitch about her name) is pretty much unlikeable and what makes it worse is the plot CONSTANTLY basically screams “SHE’S IMPORTANT”. Every other character is varying ranges of dull, meh, or terrible. The only exception is “Simmons” who is decent.  They of course killed or got rid of every other okay to good character including:

  • “Grant Ward” – Easily the best character on the show and the only one who really acted like a spy (despite his TERRIBLE backstory). Naturally they end up killing and re-killing him
  • Deathlok – WHY DON’T THEY USE THIS GUY?!!! Literally one of the best characters from the very first episode, a genuine “Marvel” hero, and played by “Wheddon” show alum (as Charles Gunn on “Angel”) J. August Richards
  • The first black guy – I don’t remember his name (and I can’t even be bothered to look it up) and he wasn’t that great but he was WAY better than “Mac”. They killed this guy too
  • Hunter & Bobbi (Mockingbird) – Both okay characters. I know they got written off for a spinoff that didn’t work out, but yeah…

Oh I also make reference to an interview with Chloe Bennett (Skye) in this comic.  Even giving her the benefit of the doubt that she sorta joking the things she says about the “Marvel” movies acknowledging the show are crazy to me. You can check it out here https://qr.net/FQ4AtK

Tomorrow Luscious Trapp returns as we’re introduced to his wife Johanna Johnson and Belinda Bishop. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I’ve seen people “ship” “Batman” and “Wonder Woman” and I just don’t see it at all. As these comics have gone into, “Batman’s” relationships are messed up and I don’t see “Wonder Woman” putting up with that nonsense. I’ve seen memes where literally “Wonder Woman” just drops the panties cuz’ “he’s “Batman””, but what would that mean to “Wonder Woman”?

Depending on which version she’s either is one of, or was created by the Gods.  At the very least she is royalty. You might think “well Batman is a billionaire and that’s basically like being royalty”, but “Wonder Woman” is a special case.  The “Amazon’s” seem to live a fairly simple life.  “Wonder Woman” is the kinda gal that brings a boar to a dinner party as was mentioned before…

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I’m not really against “Superman” and “Wonder Woman” as a couple… I just enjoy making fun of it. I think them being together really works in “Kingdom Come”.  I don’t think them being together works in the “Dark Knight Returns” comics though.  Also I’m not sure them being together always worked in the “New 52”.  I think if “Lois Lane” is around “Superman” is always destined to be with her, but if she isn’t him and “Wonder Woman” make sense as a couple.

Tomorrow The Minstrel and Freedom Female return with The Good Knight to talk about issues between Freedom Female and The Good Knight. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

So “DC Comics” has started this “Trinity” comic with “Superman”, “Batman”, and “Wonder Woman” and that inspired this week’s comics that explore the relationships between these 3 characters. The actual comic seems pretty decent from the first issue.  The issue centers around “Lois Lane” (this being the “Lois Lane” from the the “Pre-Flashpoint” “DCU” that is married to “Superman” and has a son with him who all someone got into the “New 52” “DCU”) inviting “Batman” and “Wonder Woman” to dinner.

All that stuff in parentheses is everything wrong with “DC Comics”.

Moving on, for some reason “Wonder Woman” brings a boar… Seems like “Wonder Woman” at this point would have been in “Man’s World” or whatever long enough to know that’s not normal but whatever.

Tomorrow The Minstrel and Special-Man return along with Freedom Female to discuss their relationship. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
