He-Man Newspaper Comics: Revolution In Rondale

It’s time to return to Eternia as featured in your daily newspaper. Well, maybe not yours. Mine didn’t carry this and I don’t know if any other newspaper in Connecticut did either. Anyway, Man-At-Arms’ out of nowhere love interest gets some backstory in this one, and Teela has more to do that gush over He-Man. So already this story is a good step forward.

Our heroes must journey to the kingdom of Rondale, where a revolution plot is in play, and two princes take center ring in a circus that is part of a plot to overthrown the kingdom and the planet. Can He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Teela, and Miranda save the day and stop the…

One of them has been getting exposure in the video game community recently, or so this video claims. Captain Rainbow features lesser known Nintendo game characters, many of whom were also Japan exclusive. But as you’ll see in this video that might not be the reason the game was never officially released outside of Japan.

Sorry there’s no Worldbuilding Project update today. Yesterday was distracting. Outside of working on Jake & Leon I’m hoping it’s the last day I’ll miss.

Chapter By Chapter: Fantastic Voyage novelization ch. 16

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Three chapters left and our microscopic surgical team have finally made it to the brain. Can the laser be repaired in time? Are any more obstacles ahead for our heroes? Let’s dive in and see what happens next.

Chapter 16: Brain

And my Trekkie side insists I post this:
