In the latest team-up between General Mills and DC Comics, some of their mascots are dressing up as superheroes. Due to a lack of female mascots for cereal, Wonder Woman gets to appear as herself. There are also mini-comics coming out that I would love to review for Free Comic Inside. You know, for those of you who actually eat these cereals and run into a few extras or would be willing to scan them for me. I’d very much appreciate it. The only promo Rice Chex ever did was the Chex Quest game, and that was still under Ralston Purina, and for some reason Cheerios is being left out again despite being one of their biggies. Oh, but Honey Nut and Multigrain get comics, the jerks!

I was going to put something here but I can’t think of anything.
I don’t want to say anything yet, but Thursday is going to be an important day for me. No, not another medical concern but it is a big one. Prayers welcome, but if all you see on Friday is the Friday Night Fight, or if you don’t even get that, it’s because of Thursday. I don’t know if I’ll get any work done that day.
Over at The Clutter Reports I look at Fire Convoy, aka the first Robots In Disguise Optimus Prime. I call him Fire Prime to avoid the confusion of so many Optimus Primes.
NiGHTS Into Dreams should be wrapping up this week if I get the review done in time. The last regular issue of Oh My Goddess! should also be Friday. Otherwise they’ll be reviewed next week, followed by something a little silly for the last Oh My Goddess! the week after. I’ll explain then. I also hope to have the first of the three panels from ConnectiCon by the end of the month. Not much else to report.

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
World Events Productions is mostly known for, of course, the Voltron franchise. However, it’s not the only anime they’ve brought to US TV. Saber Rider And The Star Sheriffs, a translation of the anime Star Musketeer Bismarck, is one of three sci-fi westerns, including Adventures Of The Galaxy Rangers and Bravestarr. (The only other one for kids would be the 90s series Wild West C.O.W.boys of Moo Mesa, but only in the origin.) The show features four heroes chosen to protect the frontier from bad guys from another dimension. Tonight we’ll take a look at the first episode…because they’re only two on WEP’s official YouTube channel, which frankly doesn’t have a lot on it.

All I want to know is why Marvel stopped using volume numbers if they’re going to break out a new #1 every two years. Max.
Quick, name a character on this cover who hasn’t died at least once. In main continuity.
Avengers #1
Marvel Comics (Your guess is as good as mine, somewhere in 2010 I think because that’s all I can get out of comiXology and Marvel can kiss my fuzzy fanny with all these stupid #1s. Stop fearing numbers! The speculator market is DEAD AND NOT SOON ENOUGH!)

As much as we all wanted Peter Parker to be Peter Parker, Ben Reilly was a good character…although I hear that’s changed in the recent “they’re totally not clones in the same way the Black Lanterns weren’t zombies” story arc. It’s too bad because this Spider-Man Team-Up issue I have shows Ben at his best as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. In this story he and Gambit join forces against a Tombstone and a drug dealer using voodoo powder to create the next addictive drug. Two mistakes: they messed with Gambit’s friend, and one of them Spidey has a grudge against.
