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!

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!

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!

This one actually tied into the Holiday Special comic from Monday.  Yep it’s in continunity…

Anyways “Civil War II” finally ended last week and… Wow…. What a waste of time and good art… The worst thing about “Marvel’s” crossovers is that they never really end they just shift into whatever the “new status quo” is.  This “new status quo” is especially bad. “The Hulk” is dead, “She Hulk” is more like “The Hulk” which is stupid and defeats the purpose of her character. “Iron Man” is off the table, and that scene was just painfully forced. “Cap” is STILL a “Hydra” agent (I thought they ended that after like 2 issues). Oh and the “Inhuman” kid who could predict the future is now some cosmic entitiy or something because “Inhumans” are IMPORTANT and always involved in everything. We get it “Marvel”. We get it!

“Marvel” may DESTROY “DC” when comes to movies and beat them by a lot at TV with the “Netflix” shows, but I gotta say I think “DC” might be winning with actual comics. To be clear this is pretty much only because one of the “Justice League” books is okay and “All Star Batman” is great.

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

I don’t play video games much anymore. The last game I played and beat was “GTA 5” (the only “GTA” I ever beat). It’s been even longer since I played an RPG. I played “Skyrim” for a few weeks and lost interest. I think I gotta go WAY back to “Fable III” was the next one.  Before that this game “Radiata Stories” (which I forgot the name of for a long ass time til’ I looked it up today. God that was bugging me!) where I screwed up something I couldn’t fix so I just quit playing.

The last “Final Fantasy” I played was “Final Fantasy X”. Never beat that one cause I couldn’t ever do the thing where you gotta dodge lighting 8 million times to get “Tidus’” ultimate weapon. It had some cool characters but the story was kinda “meh” anyways. I actually bought “Final Fantasy XI” but I couldn’t get the online thing for “Playstation 2” to work.

Due to a buncha crap with having an old TV and finally getting a new one for Christmas I think I’m finally getting the “PS4” shoulda got last year. In the process of looking up that “Radiata Stories” game I saw that other rpg I really liked “Suikoden” had 3 sequels I never knew about. I’m considering downloading those games if possible. Course at this point playing them would require getting rid of sleep entirely as a concept… Still tempted though.

Tomorrow the guys are joined by Ms. Majors as they finally move on from talking about video games. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

In last week’s comics Mr. Mystic went to the future and heard that someone (Freedom Female) started a rumor about The Minstrel being Kellyanne Conway. He also learned that Trump was revealed to be a Russian robot. He then felt like he should stop that rumor about The Minstrel from starting.  As you can see he failed that goal.

Tommorow Freedom Female takes The Minstrel’s place as the convo goes more off course with video game talk and we learn more about how Mr. Mystic screwed up. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Before I start strangely enough I got likes for the last two comics on Twitter from R&B singer Rapheal Saadiq of all people. Man I’m curious to know how he stumbled on to this comic of all things.

Anyways unless plans drastically change this will be the last one these comics for this year. It’s been too much fun making these comics. It’s been one dark crazy messed-up year and I just hope these dark crazy messed-up comics sometimes made a few minutes of it a little more bearable. To of all you who liked, retweeted, shared, or just read these comics this year I appreciated it more than you can know.

After posting the first page of the special holiday comic on Christmas day I’m still working on the rest.  I’ll try to get it out by New Years. With all that said, I hope you all have a great New Years and I’ll see ya next year (to be clear by “next year” I mean next week). As always, hope you enjoy and see ya then!

When I started this comic I intended for each comic to feature 1 person. Then during the second week the “Deadpool” movie came out and I decided that my version of him “Death Poll” would pop in on each comic. I thought it was gonna be for that week only. Then during the big “Flash/Supergirl” TV crossover I did a special comic with their counterparts “Special-Girl and Quickie”. Almost immediately 3 characters were regularly featured.  In the last few months 4 characters started showing up. I literally didn’t think anymore could fit into one comic… This week has 5 characters in every comic.  Crazy how things change…

It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do this week.  Was it gonna be yet another “2016 was the worst year ever thing”, or something saying it wasn’t the worst year ever, or something saying it was but it was our fault… On Christmas night I was gonna try to stay up and write these but I was tired to instead took a nap. I woke back up around 2 and pretty soon an idea struck me… We deserved an alternate ending…Strangely enough the that idea came from the song by Horseshoe Gang (they are this DOPE ass group  of 4 dudes and I think 2 of them are Crooked I’s little brothers. Crooked I is the west coast dude in Slaughterhouse) called “Alternate Ending” where they took “Brenda’s” Got A Baby” and gave it happier ending. I just felt like that part in “The Dark Knight” “people deserve to have their faith rewarded”.

Tomorrow Lou, Spiderous-Man, & Mr. Mystic are joined by Freedom Female and Pussy Whip discuss who might’ve have started that rumor about The Minstrel. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

It really does suck that Carrie Fisher died. Mainly because the thought that she lived through the heart attack she had was a glimmer of hope. For a second we thought “2016 was tough but it couldn’t kill “Princess Leia””… but then it did. Carrie Fisher played an iconic character as “Princess Leia”, she was in a classic episode of “30 Rock”, and she was in “Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back”.  That’s more than enough to gain our undying respect in my book. Also she seemed like a pretty cool lady.

I know this is too much to ask, but please hear me out… Can we stop with “Star Wars” movies now? I know they already started on “Episode VIII” so let’s just do this one and wrap it up. Cuz’ now they gotta awkwardly write around “Leia” or kill off the character as well.  That’s too much.  So “Disney” we know you paid A LOT of money on “Star Wars” and expect a big return on that investment. So I have a proposal. You make animated movies of stuff like “Dark Empire” which will be MUCH cheaper and we’ll all promise to go to the theatre just like a live-action movies. You’ll make even more money and we’ll all be happier. Just consider it.

Tomorrow all these guys are back talking about the rumor about The Minstrel. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

RIP Carrie Fisher
