So what about that “Star Wars: The Final Jedi” teaser, huh? I must say it got me hyped. This is saying a lot cause I didn’t like “Rogue One”. To me “The Forces Awakens” worked but despite itself. Also “Han Solo” carried that movie. I’ve even questioned if “Star Wars” movies work without him at all. Guess we’ll see in December.

I started work on “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” 66. It’s going to a double page comic. After a whole comic without him Q-boy will appear too. Also I’m still doing preliminary stuff for “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” 200. As I said before this will have my version of “Sailor Moon”. As with most of my characters there’s a huge twist with her. Don’t wanna over-hype it but it’s pretty big.

 thats what she said

Tommorow Hazard Hands returns with Special-Girl, The Minstrel, and Slowku. They discuss Special-Girl and Slowku spending some time together. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

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-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-149-freedomfemalemsmajorsluscioustrappspiderousmanandmrmysticprojection-01

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!

Luscious Trapp, & Spiderous-Man On … They’re Still Going On About Video Games (Censored)

ccc-139-freedomfemalemrmysticandluscioustrappandspiderousmantemp

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!

ccc-143-theminstrelmrmysticandluscioustrappandspiderousmantempla

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!

“Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl And Her Crew”

ccc-143-theminstrelmrmysticandluscioustrappandspiderousmantemplate-01

I think I’m going to try something new with all “Star Wars” movies from here on out. I’m going to try to treat them as “what ifs”. The original trilogy really shouldn’t be touched or added to in any way. That story was complete. The whiny farm boy became a hero. The selfish smuggler only out for himself became a general in the fight for freedom. The princess that lost everything learned of a family she never knew. The villain consumed by his hate finally overcame it and in his last act overthrew the man controlling him. With no leadership the empire probably fell eventually, and the galaxy returned to relative peace and freedom.

The details of how things came to be were stories best left to your imagination. Something REALLY bad happened to “Anakin Skywalker” and “Obi-Wan” his mentor was involved. He was corrupted by the “Emperor” who took over what was “The Old Republic” which turned it into the fascist “Empire”. Something called “The Clone Wars” happened which sounds awesome. What did we learn about any of this from the prequels that didn’t just make all this worse?

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesdays-Thursdays.  Oh and with the special holday comic there’s pretty no way I can get it done by or before Christmas. So I’m shooting for New Years maybe. Happy holidays to you and yours. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Mr. Mystic, Luscious Trapp, & Spiderous-Man

On “Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl And Her Crew”

ccc-142-theminstrelmrmysticandluscioustrappandspiderousmantemplate-01

George Lucas had it right from the very beginning. You had to start with “Episode IV”. The original trilogy is the story that mattered. Because “Star Wars” is about the hero’s journey of “Luke Skywalker” and maybe even moreso the redemption of “Han Solo”.  When you really think about it “Han” is the real hero of these movies. “Luke” joins the rebels because the plot gives him no other choice. His aunt and Uncle are dead and his home it burnt to a crisp (and as I mentioned before I think “Obi-Wan” knew that was going to happen and saw that as the only way he could start training “Luke”. Which is all kinds of messed-up). So he goes with the old man who at least seems to know his dad.

“Han” on the other hand not only really chooses to be a hero, but does so at great risk due to the bounty on his head. Sure you can chalk some of that up to him really wanting to bang “Leia” but still. He also saves the main competitor for her affection more than once again at great risk to himself.  He also does this with no powers, no teachers, and no personal stakes in the fight. He also pays the price for it by being tortured and frozen for several years.  That’s a good dude…

Tomorrow still more with these guy as the talk about “Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl & Her Crew”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

‘“Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl And Her Crew”

ccc-141-theminstrelmrmysticandluscioustrappandspiderousmantemplate-01rogueonememe

I don’t know how to rate “Rogue One”. I found the 1st half of it really boring, and even with the more entertaining 2nd half I didn’t really care.  50% is a fail, right? But then it isn’t THAT bad.  But it’s not good either.  Okay it’s better than the prequels right? …Yeah… But I think I’d rather watch the prequels.

I think the ultimate problem is… This isn’t really a “Star Wars” movie. It has the setting, some characters, and a fun reference of two but it’s doesn’t have the “feel”. Say what you want about the prequels (and yes pretty much every criticism is valid), or “The Force Awakens” and it’s sticking VERY close to the formula (member’) they do “feel” like “Star Wars” films. This movie doesn’t. This movie is something else… In fact when it dovetails right into “A New Hope” at the end it feels jarring. Maybe that’s on purpose though. If so is that a mark for it or against it? Let’s go through the good and bad…

The Good

  • The blind dude kicked ass
  • It was cool to see land walkers in different settings
  • The droid was kinda funny
  • The references were nice
  • Overall good action in the 2nd half
  • “Vader” murking a bunch of dudes

The Bad

  • The characters weren’t memorable. (names are misspelled or not included to illustrate the point) “Rebel Girl” is “Jyn”, the main guy is “Cassian(sp?)”, the droid is “K-something”, literally can’t name anyone else
  • The blind dude was also kinda annoying with his constant mantra. Plus he’s just kind of a half-assed “Jedi”. Just have a “Jedi” that survived or don’t
  • The droid wasn’t THAT funny.  Guy’s becoming overrated already. He did like 3 pretty funny things
  • Too much moral gray which as a review I read pointed out just doesn’t work well in a “Star Wars” movie
  • Story didn’t need to be told (the fate of 99% of prequels)
  • Again 1st half = boring
  • 2nd half seems WAY too much like just a bunch of video game levels. I could literally see the missions, objectives, achievements unlocked, and places to use cover. (It takes 2 head shots to kill the “yellow Storm Troopers”, 5 for the “black”)
  • The realization that the whole movie could’ve been “Vader” murking dudes. Why are we following this dude in the white cape?!

I dunno. If you want a kinda grim “non-Star Wars feeling” “Star Wars” movie that really doesn’t matter at the end of the day then this is alright. It doesn’t add or take away anything from the original trilogy because I feels so foreign it doesn’t count.  This is truly a “Trump era” “Star Wars” movie. “Hope” is just a word said at the end referring to something else. The heroes “win”, but it doesn’t matter cuz’ we already know the “Death Star” is destroyed and they just make another one with the same weakness that is also destroyed. Then from “The Force Awakens” we know that despite everything the “Empire” just comes back with a different name and an even bigger weapon that again has basically the same weakness.  That’s when you realize that this is the cycle forever until they just destroy everything including themselves. Ya’ll ready to stop this cycle yet?

Tomorrow all these guys are back talking about “Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl And Her Crew” some more. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
