Luscisous Trapp, Slowku, & Mr. Mystic On The Verdict For Mr. Mystic

ccc-152-theminstelmsmajorsluscioustrappslowkuandmrmystic-01

Do you remember the first time you saw “Goku” turn “Super Saiyan” the first time. Most of us Americans knew it was going to happen and even what it looked like, but we didn’t know how it happened until we saw it.  It took extreme gravity training, nearly dying, fighting against a (at the time) basically unbeatable opponent, and the stress of seeing his best friend killed.  For ‘Vegeta” to do it he had to push himself to near madness. Basically it took extreme training and extreme stress.

Jump ahead and Goku reveals he could become “Super Saiyan 3” except he really can’t handle it. I think it’s suggested that the planet can’t even handle it which is something I think everyone seems to forget. Then younger characters (and one’s that are barely “Saiyan”) could just do it (except “Pan” of course because… reasons).

Jump to “Dragon Ball Super” where Goku becomes “Super Saiyan God”.  Which is just given to him… It’s kinda un-“Dragonball” to do that. Later “Vegeta” “does it on his own”, but that doesn’t make any sense. And they both become “Super Saiyan Blue”. I know there’s a “Super Saiyan Rose” as well but I don’t know if either of them achieved it yet. My point to all this is that these new transformations seem too easy and too fast. Again I like “Dragon Ball Super” but at this rate they’re going to run out of color pretty fast.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesdays-Thurdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-151-theminstelmsmajorsluscioustrappslowkumrmysticandheamsterfreshprojection-01

In case you’re lost or didn’t read yesterday’s comic this is a telepathic conversation that was going on during the conversation from yesterday’s comic between Mr. Mystic and Headmaster Fresh and unexpectedly Slowku gets involved. That just made you more confused didn’t it?

Speaking of Slowku let’s get back to “Dragon Ball Super”. One thing I kinda like about it is that it has shorter arcs. I don’t break down “Dragon Ball Z” into mini-arcs like most people. To me “DBZ” is The “Saiyan” or “Vegeta”  Saga, the “Freeza” Saga, the “Cell” saga, and the “Buu” saga. This plus some filler covers nearly 300 episodes. At around 60 episodes “Dragonball Super” has had the same number of sagas plus filler. Another good thing is at least in the “Ressurection Of F” arc characters that aren’t “Goku” or “Vegeta” got to do something.

Then there’s the problems… Like “Pilaf”…. He’s never been funny or a good character. He’s a relic of time when “Dragon Ball” wasn’t popular. And yet he keeps returning… Over and over again to waste time that could go to fighting or something interesting.  Along with him is “Shu” and “Mai”.  “Mai” is a whole thing by herself because of all this weird stuff with her and “Trunks”.  To be clear this is woman that is older and his mother in a child’s body.  Then time travel gets involved and it gets weird for the opposite reason.  All this should really just stop.

Tomorrow a decision is made about Mr. Mystic’s position in The Revenge Squad. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Slowku, & Mr. Mystic On If Mr. Mystic Should Be Part Of The Revenge Squad

ccc-150-theminstelmsmajorsluscioustrappslowkuandmrmystic-01

Last week I said something about “DC Comics” having better comics right now than “Marvel”… After catching on some comics this weekend I have to amend that. I’m not saying “DC” isn’t winning necessarily but it’s WAY closer than I thought.  I caught up on “Infamous Iron Man” (where “Dr. Doom” takes “Iron Man’s” place and tries to be good) and that’s a damn good comic. Is worth going through “Secret Wars” and “Civil War II” to get here? Probably not, but still…

Also “Dragon Ball Super” premiered last Saturday here in the US. I’d been following it through fan-subtitled versions. I’m not an anime purist. I prefer dubs over subs mainly because I more “listen” than watch anything.  “Dragon Ball” is one of the few things I’ll watch subbed when the dub isn’t available.  In fact this whole thing brings me back to when I would watch “Dragonball Z” on the “International Channel”. No “subtitles”, faded colors, but completely unedited and it was a few episodes ahead of the American version.

Back to “Super”, I think I was up to like the 56th episode or something. Honestly it’s… Okay. It’s WAY better than “Dragon Ball GT” though. The whole things is kinda similar to what is going on with “Star Wars”. Sure there’s part of me that just wants more, but there’s the part of me that says “let it go”.  It’s a weird pre-sequel that pretty much contradicts the actual ending of “Dragon Ball Z”. Then there’s the fact that nearly 30 episodes are just the last 2 “Dragon Ball” movies (“Battle Of The Gods” & “Ressurection Of F”) with lots of filler. The first episode in particular is nothing but pointless filler… But it’s “Dragon Ball”. They can endlessly repackage, and remix it and I’ll probably be there.

Tomorrow we see a secret conversation that happened during this conversation.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-122pg1cccc-122pg2ccc-122pg3ccc-122pg4c

I went back and forth on whether I was going to do this or not. At the end of the day I felt this election was too important not to address, plus once I got the idea to have all the characters together I really couldn’t resist going for it. The rest speaks for itself. Tomorrow we go back to “normal” (in the very loosest sense of the word) comics. Hope you enjoy, go vote, and see ya then!

Q-girl, Q-boy, & Slowku On The 100th Conversation Cypher (Team Q-four) (Censored)

ccc-100a-qgirlqboyslowkuc

So this 100th comic is in 4 parts. This is the first part. For each of these I’ll explain some references people may not know

“Bangin’ The Wench” = Reference to “Batgirl” having sex with “Batman” in the direct to DVD movie “Batman: The Killing Joke”.

“Baby mama’s a terrorist” = Reference to “Batman” having a child (current “Robin” “Damian Wayne”) with “Talia Al Ghul”

“Ain’t no such thing as half way crooks” = Famous line from “Shook Ones (Part II)” by “Mobb Deep. Also a big part of the “Eminem” movie “8 Mile” when he quotes the line from the song while rhyming to the “Shook One” instrumental in his final battle against “Papa Doc”

John Hein/”Hit em’ with the hein”= Howard Stern show reference. A lot to explain but the short version is describing someone who has low energy

Special-Man, Freedom Female, & The Good Knight On

The 100th Conversation Cypher (Team World Protectors) (Censored)

“Blame some blue guy” = Reference to how “DC’s” event “Rebirth” seems to blame the “darkness” of “DC’s” universe on “Dr. Manhattan” from “Watchmen” altering things/

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #100C

The Innovator, America-Man, & The Smasher The

100th Conversation Cypher (Team Revenge Squad) (Censored)

ccc-100c-theinnovatoramericamansmasherc

“Call me a Nazi” = Reference to all the “HydraCap” nonsense that was going on where in the current “Captain America” comic he was altered to think he’s a “Hydra” agent and people were being total rubes and calling him a Nazi.

“Me n’ Ms. Majors fightin’” = Reference to “Civil War II” where “Iron Man” and “Captain Marvel” are fighting over some “Inhuman” kid that can predict the future and whether to use him or not

“The Smasher was dead” = Reference to “The Hulk” being killed by “Hawkeye” in “Civil War II”

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #100D

Special-Girl & Muffina Winters On The 100th Conversation Cypher (Censored)

ccc-44.3-muffyandspecialgirltandqgirl

“Papa Doc” = Mentioned  before but he’s the guy Eminem battles at the end of “8 Mile”. The battle begins with a coin toss to see who goes first and he says “let that bitch go first”. Played “Anthony Mackie” aka “The Falcon” in “Marvel movies.

“Lynda Carter” = Played “Wonder Woman” in the 70’s TV Show. Obviously pre-dating “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”.

“Originator of musical episodes” = The “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” episode “One More Time With Feeling” seemed to popularize TV shows doing musical episodes with varying results. “Supergirl” is suppose to have a musical crossover with “The Flash” next season.

“Angel” & “Spike” = “Buffy’s” vampire love interests.  Usually wouldn’t use “real life” names (and in this comic’s context it kinda doesn’t make sense) but I couldn’t resist using this line

It’s been great giving you these first 100 comics. To 100 more and way beyond.  Thanks to everyone who liked, retweeted, commented, shared, and just read these. I appreciate it more than you can know. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #91 The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #91

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

ccc-91-theminstrelqboyslowku

In most American comics if a superhero saves a city they become so famous they have to have a secret identity so everyone they love isn’t targeted by villains (of course their identity is always found out and all their loved ones are targeted anyways).

“Goku” saved the world if not the universe quite a few times and only a handful of people know who he is or what he did. Pretty much every time something happens or the situation makes it so people can’t see him do it.

It would be interesting to see a “what if” where people knew “Goku” saved the world. I’d imagine he’d be very uncomfortable. I’ve gotten into this before but “Goku” spends A LOT of time alone or with few people. His house is basically a shack in the woods. Also any perks of fame would be lost on “Goku”. The guy basically wears one outfit, and seems pretty happy to eat whatever he can hunt and kill. Some of these things change a bit in “Dragonball Super” but that’s clearly “Chi Chi’s” doing not his.  In real life “Goku” has a holiday and is the one of the most famous heroes in all entertainment across the globe and he’d probably hate that…

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