Ya know what I really liked? I like when “The Punisher” was off by himself in an R-rated comic that was part of “Marvel’s” “Max line” of comics. “The Punisher” could be in violent messed-up stories and wouldn’t be involved in some terrible crossover. Sadly, those days are gone… They went and brought him back in the normal “Marvel Universe”. Now with this “Secret Invasion” crossover they got going on he’s part of “Hydra”. Ugh!

There’s a rationale for it, and I guess it kinda makes sense but still… Ugh! He shouldn’t be in this the first place. He should be murdering mobsters by the truckload. That would be bad enough, but lately “Marvel” and “DCComics” have been playing “bad idea chicken”. As far as comics “Marvel’s” been winning this race to the bottom for a while now. “Marvel” is going to up the ante by making “The Punisher” the new “War Machine”. Yep kill off one of the few Black characters that’s isn’t just a poor man’s version of a White hero and replace him with a White guy who shouldn’t even be involved in the first place. What even needs to be said at this point?

Tomorrow these guys return and Spiderous-Man elaborates on what he wants The Innovator to do. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

One thing I didn’t mention that came out during “San Diego Comic” was the teaser for “Krypton”. Why is this happening? There’s something fundamental that people just aren’t getting. Story start at a certain point because that’s the part where it gets interesting. I got into this before with “Star Wars”. Does anyone really care what happened on “Krypton”? If they do, do they care enough to watch a whole series about it. Prequels are almost universally a bad idea. I can’t think of one good one.

Flashback stories can work if they help to inform what’s going on currently. Straight up prequels though? Nah! Plus it’s on “Syfy” channel and I can’t even remember the last time a good show was on there.

Tomorrow Admiral Star talks to Hazard Hands, Luscious Trapp, and Blind Fury about “defense”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

“San Diego Comic-Con” A View Of The Future One Phone Cam Video At A Time

comiccon

So “San Diego Comic-Con” was this weekend meaning EVERY movie trailer, teaser, and announcement was released. Some highlights:

  • “Avengers: Infinity War” – Only saw phone cam footage on IG, but I did see the whole thing… Good lord does this look awesome. I concerned about how all these characters are going to fit into one movie though
  • New “Justice League” trailer – Looking more and more like it’ll be okay… The whole pretending “Superman” isn’t in it thing is getting really old. Also I must repeat yet again “The Flash” looks stupid. Whedon you still got time make that his “joke costume” and cgi a real suit on him. Oh and if that isn’t “Superman” that “Alfred” is talking to at the end it’s something stupid
  • “Flash Point” is the title of “The Flash” movie- Sigh! Seriously “DC” move on from this already? This story had been:
    • A bad comic
    • An okay animated DVD
    • A show ruiner for “The Flash” TV show
    • Stop already!
  • New “The Gifted” trailer- Wasn’t impressed before, but now I see this might end up being a good show.
  • New “Thor: Ragnarok” trailer – Looking better and better. I think we finally got ourselves a good “Thor” movie. Has “Marvel” fixed it’s one weakness in movies? We’ll see…
  • Michelle Pfieffer as “OG Wasp”/ Laurence Fishbourne as “Golaith” in “Antman And The Wasp” – Seems cool. Nice that “Batman” and “Catwoman” are part of “Marvel now

That covers all the big stuff for me. Tomorrow Spiderous-Man and Freedom Female are joined by Special-Man and The Good Knight. They talk about Admiral Star joining The American World Protectors Of America and til’ Freedom Female gets deep… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, Quickie, & Freedom Female On “Renegades Of Reality

2nd Mix” & That Other Movie

ccc-197-specialgirl(czar)quickieandfreedomfemaletemplate-01ccc-197-specialgirl(czar)quickieandfreedomfemaletemplate2-01

I’m actually skeptical about “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2”. I read a review on cbr.com that said it was more or the same from the first movie. It wasn’t exactly a negative review, but not super positive. The original movie sets quite a high bar. I’d put as 4th best comic book movie period. To me “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” beats it by a hair. I’m talking tenths of a point. It has a better post-credit scene and I like the darker tone. Can it actually be as good as or better than the original? Guess we’ll see this week…

I’m think I’m burying the lead here though. So this comic is two pages. I saw 2 big problems with the comics the way ther were before.

  1. The font could be easier to read
  2. Trying to fit all the word balloons made it hard to know what to read next

I addressed the first problem by changing the font and increasing the size. The 2nd one was simple, but took awhile to come to. Why cram everything in one panel? “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” was suppose to be a one panel comic. Why does it have to be though? If I have to edit a good chunk I what I want to write and the comic is still hard to read why do it this way. Would it take more time? More than likely not more than resizing word balloons over and over to try to fit everything. So I’m going to use two panels when I need to and I hope it makes a better reading experience.

Tomorrow Special-Girl gets a lesson about living together from couple with some experience. That couple is Q-girl and Spiderous-Man so she should take it with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I wanted to write something really long about the election, but honestly I’m really tired. So I’ll just say that on election night I felt dread, then despair, then motivated. We have to rush the polls at every single elections now.

On to the comic. The whole thing with White Swallow becoming her sister and mom refers to how on “Arrow” “Laurel” and “Sara Lance” were both “Black Canary” and how in the comics “Black Canary’s” mom was the original “Black Canary”.

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

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!

I still think “Arrow” is the strongest of the “CW” DCComics” shows, and I think “The Flash” is the weakest.  I do think “Arrow” peaked with Season 3 though. So far I’ve been liking “Ollie” training all the new vigilantes. I’ve always been a little annoyed with the flashbacks though. It at least made sense for the first 2 seasons but now it’s really just a waste of time.

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