I didn’t get a chance to work on the comic, partly because I didn’t get a good idea for the next comic until it was too late to work on anything. I went to a family gathering, the last scheduled for a while, and that took up the time after I came up with the idea. Also while there I hit my head (long story, but my fault) and it still hurts. (Don’t worry, I was able to get home and stuff and I think I’m fine.) I didn’t want to do anything today but rest my skull. I did finally get to watch that The War Of The Worlds DVD and the movie is just as good as I remember it. I want to go back and listen to the commentary tracks and other special features, but I watched the “making of” feature and it’s quite interesting.
But on this week. Fredric Wertham continues to haunt us. On the comic reviewing front, I need a replacement for Dragon Ball Z‘z Wednesday slot and I realized that, while I’ve reviewed the Modern comics run from the 1980s and the Dynamite issues I regret buying from the 2000s, the only Image/Devil’s Due run I’ve touched is the final issue of A Legend Forged. That means that the new Wednesday retro-comic review is the Devil’s Due run on Voltron: Defender Of The Universe, proof that I can enjoy a reboot if done right and well-produced rather than one or the other. So I’m looking forward to re-reading that series. Otherwise no changes. Still more Zero Hour aftermaths and all the rest.
At least I know my headache isn’t coming from Seduction Of The Innocent. This week anyway.






Sorry to hear about the head. Be observant about how you feel the next days because hopefully, the injury is not a concussion. But if you feel it could be such, then definitely check in with a medical professional.
Looks like lots of good articles and a good podcast for me to catch up with (I haven’t been on here since Saturday morning). I’ll try to catch up as much as I can today.
Reading that run of Voltron last summer was very enjoyable for me. I’ll have to reread each of those issues as you do your reviews, so that I can more directly address what you’ve written. I finished my 80s MASK comics on Friday. That was also quite enjoyable. In the letters column from issues #5-9 of the 1987 MASK comic Books, I noticed that too many of the fan writers were overly critical. I wonder if that’s what partially caused the series to end at issue #9? It’s a shame that it didn’t continue. Instead, we have the modern version of MASK by IDW that barely remembers the MASK I know!
