Ever met someone who didn’t see some movie or TV show , and you’re just like “how”?  Like it’s a movie or show that seems to ALWAYS be on somewhere or more importantly it’s a classic that everyone’s seen. Ever been that person that somehow didn’t see the movie or show EVERYONE has seen? I’ve certainly been both.

It’s always interesting what different people see as “must see” or “classic”. Personally, being able to get “Simpsons” references is like a test of character. Speaking of which, we’re at the sad time of the year when the big yearly “Simpsons” marathon on “FXX” has reached the point where it’s past the 2nd episode of season 12 (the last good episode IMHO). Oh well it was a nice few days of laughs…

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

Special-Girl, Mr. Mystic, & Luscious Trapp On Doing These Conversations & Jobs

ccc-119-specialgirlmrmysticandluscioustrapp

I think “Supergirl” is losing me. It lost all the crappy romcom stuff  from season 1, but replaced it with stupid stuff like “Jimmy Olsen” being a superhero, and “Kara” being a reporter now. Now “Jimmy” and “Wynn” have to lie to her all the time and blah blah blah typical drama that most of these shows phased out of by now. The reporter thing just seems especially lazy. Oh I almost forgot about “Jimmy” running “CatCo” now which is also dumb.

“Miss Martian” seems like a decent addition to the show though.  So far of the “DC Comics” “CW” show it’s “Arrow” and “Legends Of Tomorrow” (this show improved A LOT) fighting for being the best show and “The Flash” and “Supergirl” fighting for being the worst.

Tomorrow Luscious and Mr. Mystic are back with Quickie and Hell’s Hunter continuing the talk about jobs. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, J-Pop, & Luscious Trapp On The Champion Crew & The Champs (Censored)

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!

  • Panel 1
    • Thought bubble 1&2  are based on panels from “R. Crumb’s Kafka” a comic book biography of writer Franz Kafka which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4uep & here http://qr.net/b4ufD
    • Thought bubble 3 is based on the cover to the documentary “The Confessions Of Robert Crumb” which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4ugN
    • Thought bubble 4 is based on a this drawing of his character “Mr. Natural” which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4ukD
    • Thought bubble 5 is based on the cover of “The Complete Crumb Vol. 13” which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4uma
    • The rest is based on the backcover to “Carload O’ Comics” which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4uqr
  • Panel 2 is based on a drawing of a woman holding kittens from “R. Crumb’s Art & Beauty” which you can check out here http://qr.net/b4usB
  • Panel 3 is based on the cover to “Mr. Natural” which you can check out here (Note: NSFW) http://qr.net/b4utV

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #100A-D The 100th Conversation Cyphers (Censored)

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

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #100B

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

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

ccc-77-specialmanfreedomfemalegoodknight

“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!
