The Innovator, Headmaster Fresh, & Mr. Stretch On People Who Can Predict The Future (Censored)

ccc-45-theinnovatorheadmasterfreshmrstretch

Early on when coming up with these characters I thought it would be interesting to switch how the “Mr. Fantastic” and “Dr. Doom” characters interacted with each other.  So I made Mr. Stretch obsessed with Dr. Do and supremely arrogant, and generally a lot worse than him.  When you think about it “Dr. Doom” being obsessed with “Mr. Fantastic” is kinda silly.  The guy rules a country.  Weirdly enough with him being part of “The Illuminati”, “Marvel” had made “Mr. Fantastic” more like Mr. Stretch.

That’s it for this week. We start off next week with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where Q-boy along with The American World Protectors Of America help their teammate The Underwater Monarch with a problem.  Then Tuesday-Thursday new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Innovator & Ms. Majors On People Who Can Predict The Future (Censored)

There’s several “Marvel” characters that have been able to predict the future so it’s really weird that this is the big thing that sets off “Civil War II”.  It’s also weird that a new character (one of those “Inhumans” that we all like better than “mutants”) was made up for this. What’s also weird is the major death in the first issue… (Spoiler Alert!)

So they supposedly killed off “War Machine” (“She-Hulk” also got hurt real bad too).  Since we saw what happened to “War Machine” in “Captain America: Civil War” its a strange choice to hit that same note so soon.  Death means nothing in comics so I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Tomorrow we end the week with The Innovator once again but this time along with his buddies from his secret group Headmaster Fresh, and Mr. Stretch to discuss predicting the future.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-57-apexfacsimilefreakcreeperc

It’s kinda weird how in “X-men: Apocalypse” there’s no mention that “Mystique” is “Nightcrawler’s” mom, especially when there’s all this stuff about “Quicksilver” being “Magneto’s” son.  It’s even weirder when “Nightcrawler’s” dad is clearly established in “X-men: First Class”.

Some other stuff hinted at in this comic is “Wolverine” killing his son “Daken” (who somehow came back and was re-killed by “Mystique” of all people) and his female clone “X-23” (who has taken the mantle of “Wolverine” since “Wolverine” is dead, although he supposedly appeared in an “Agents Of Shield” comic, and his older alternate reality counterpart “Old Man Logan” is running around).  Comics gotta love em’.

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

Succubus & Red Witch On “Motherly Advice” (Censored)

ccc-56-succubsredwitchc

So in the comics “Rogue” and “Magneto” had this flirtation or something that never seemed to go anywhere after he saved her from a machine messing with he mind or something.  I don’t really remember. Then in the “Age Of Apocalyspe” they were married and somehow had a kid.  The Scarlet Witch at one point says “No More Mutants” and decimates the mutant population.  Fast forward a lot to after “Avengers VS X-men” and a team of  “X-men” and “Avengers” members is formed in “Uncanny Avengers” with “Rogue” and “Scarlet Witch”. “Rogue” naturally is hostile to “Scarlet Witch” as everyone should be sense she’s crazy and indecipherable powers she can barely control.  All of that is to say I thought it would be funny if “Rogue” went all “stepmom” on “Scarlet Witch”.

Tomorrow… Well the plan is a comic with my versions of Wolverine (Apex), Mystique (Facsimile), and Nightcrawler (Freak Creeper), but there’s a lot work I gotta do.  I’m pretty sure I can get it done though.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-55-nestramentalassassinandcrimsonmatryoshka

I realized I had 3 different female assassin characters with strong accents and figured I’d put them all together.  It really would be weird (but also cool) to see “Elektra”, “Psylocke”, and “Black Widow” hangout and talk shop.  Two of them dated “Daredevil” so you got some interesting stuff right their.  Maybe some kinda blades vs guns debate.  The possibilities are endless.

Tomorrow Succubus and Red Witch have an uncomfortable conversation. Hope you enjoy and see ya then

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #54 The Fierce Freelancer And The Frantic Fight To Flee (Censored)

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #54 The Fierce Freelancer And The Frantic Fight To Flee (Censored)

So the actual story of this comic comes from the character “Shadow” from “Final Fantasy VI”.  He’s a character that only joins your party for money, leaves a random times, betrays your party at a certain point, and at one point you can wait to escape with him or leave without him.  When I played the “Playstation” remake of the game I didn’t know waiting for him meant he rejoins you so I left without him.  When I learned I coulda got him back I quit playing cause either I’d have to play A LOT of the game again or go on without him.

Anyways Rolanda Fransico is based on Ramona Fradon an artist who is best known for drawing “Aquaman”, “Brenda Starr”, “Super Friends” comics, and co-creating the character “Metamorpho.

Next time The Underwater Monarch’s kingdom is attacked and Q-boy along with the American World Protectors Of America come to back him up.  Tuesday-Thurday check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

This one is about “Magneto” and the messed up relationship he has with his kids “Quicksilver” and “Scarlet Witch”.  It should be noted that last I heard Marvel is saying that they aren’t “Magneto’s” kids, but I’m just ignoring that as everyone else should.  Once again I think it has something to do with “Inhumans”… Yeah keep trying to make “Inhumans” happen…

That’s it for this week. Next week starts off with a new “History Of Comics With Q-boy and then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-52-j-popandmentalassassinc

With “Batman V Superman” I said stuff about how the critics are usually right.  Let me preface this first by saying “RottenTomatos” score for “X-men: Apocalypse” is TWICE the score of “BvS” and the audience score is higher as well.  So yeah I’m saying it, the critics are wrong on this one. It’s a good movie.  Might even be the best “X-men” yet.  Does it have problems? Certainly (although so does “Civil War”)? But they are problems that are part of EVERY “X-men” movie. (I’ll probably go into those specific problems later this week). If the review is “”X-men” movies don’t measure up to the best Marvel movies” then yeah.  But NO movies do except “The Dark Knight” and “Deadpool”. And honestly the top 3 movies may be unbeatable. If you like “X-men” movies you’ll like this one. More important than anything “Wolverine” kills people.  And it is glorious!  You know that part in “X2” where he stabs that one guy and you desperately want more and they NEVER deliver! You get a nice taste here.

Moving on, this comic features the first appearance of my “Jubilee” and “Psylocke” characters.  Originally I was gonna name J-Pop, Time Bomb but I thought it was kinda weak.  I racked my brain for a while and finally came up with “J-Pop” which I like a lot better. Mental Assassin, isn’t a name I’m super thrilled with, but I established it somewhere else so I’m stuck with it and I can’t think of anything better.  As this comic shows a glimpse of, “Psylocke’s” history is super convoluted as she was originally a British woman who switched bodies with an Asian assassin woman  (and there’s a lot more).  I decided to just make her a British Asian assassin from the jump.  I went back and forth if she should be British and or speak with an accent.  Ultimately I thought the accent made her more interesting so I went with it.  I’m sure its pretty broken and  inaccurate British that’s a poor mix of different regions.  I actually tried to listen the “Essex” accent which is what I think Psylocke’s should be, but I couldn’t catch the specifics of it in a way you could write it.

Next time Ms. Majors, Proud Lion, and Drizzle discuss “Fresh-Men: Armageddon” and rumors of a certain romance. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

America-Man On Rumors That He Has Been A Nazi The Whole Time (Censored)

ccc-america-mantemplate

I thought I was done for this week but the internet seemingly exploded because in the comic “Captain America: Steve Rogers #1” it’s “revealed” that he was in fact an agent of Hydra all along… I’m baffled how anyone thinks this is for real… Like if you’re new to comics or a young kid I kinda get it.  Even then you’ve seen wrestling or some serialized entertainment where a good guy turns heel, and or it wasn’t REALLY them.  I’ll say I did read an article on “Comic Book Resources” before I read the comic where the writer is literally like *WINK* *WINK* *NUDGE* EFFIN’ *NUDGE* Cosmic Cube! Specifically this part “for context, this is a Steve Rogers that was just returned to his youth by a Cosmic Cube — a reality warping device that has, at times, been used for nefarious purposes. While this is definitely Steve Rogers, as Spencer says, it’s still possible that this is a different Steve Rogers than we’ve seen before”. The whole article is here http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/captain-america-steve-rogers-reveals-caps-shocking-spoiler

Alright now I’m done for the week… See ya next Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
