Well, fighting semi-cute mechanical animals has done well enough for me in the past, so why not try it again? This time it’s a robot in his underwear fighting a walking shark robot. The comic may be American, but the story is still Japan. And Japan likes to be weird, which we love it for.

The Original Astro Boy #2
NOW Comics (October, 1987)
Sadly this isn’t a reprinting of the manga, which would have better fit the title. So I don’t know why it’s called “The Original” Astro Boy.

Somebody’s been reading the strategy guide.
Some Nintendo bosses that gain fans aren’t the final boss or maybe a bit obscure. Matt of Dinosaur Dracula lists eight of his favorite video game bosses, some of which don’t get the credit because they aren’t the last one you fight. A couple of them are the end boss, though. And none of them showed up in Wreck It Ralph, so that leaves the big guys out.
All three of these shows share the same problem: they ended on cliffhangers. Spider-Man Unlimited was a response to a necessary change due to rights issues, but didn’t do well enough to continue. MTV’s version, referred to as Spider-Man: The New Adventures, was also canned thanks to low ratings, but MTV meddled with the darn thing so much they screwed themselves. (Personally I thought it was pretty good.) The Spectacular Spider-Man had all sorts of rights issues involved with its collapse. But how well did each do with their intros? In this final look at all the intros of Spider-Man we get to find out, continuing in chronological order.
By the way here is part one and part two if you haven’t seem them chronologically.
Just heard Michael Bay is doing another Transformers movie.

Ghost in the Shell (manga) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
ICv2 is reporting that a new animated movie for Ghost In The Shell is in the works. One of the co-directors also worked on Stand Alone Complex, and while I haven’t seen any of the GITS movies I do enjoy that series. He does get the universe. Anyone seen the live-action movie? Is it any good and is it fair to the original Japanese work despite a white girl as the hero?
