Me last year, but the pain was lower.

Considering Disney has worked with Square Enix in the past to produce the Kingdom Hearts game series (a mash-up of Disney and Final Fantasy characters) it shouldn’t be a surprise that Disney-owned Marvel will now be turning to them to produce games. Does that mean they’re done with Activision? Also in that link is a teaser for the next game, which appears to be a story where the Avengers were defeated and needs to reform or something. It’s not clear, but we won’t know more until 2018.
Is…is Batman flashing us?
Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight #0

“Viewpoint”
I’m going to copy/paste the credits from comics.org, because there are so many involved in this one. I’ll explain in a moment.
It’s not my usual format, but look at all those names! I’d wear out my keyboard!

Well, they did ask him to be brutally honest.
I wasn’t planning to make this into a storyline. But I have some more ideas as we follow Jake and Max’s quest to start their own webcomic, so a storyline it is. I have one more scripted, but I don’t know if this will be a recurring story or just follow on through. It depends on what my mind comes up with, since I just came up with a strip that isn’t part of this story, but I have the concept for another strip in this story. We’ll see what happens.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week, the final review of Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire is up. And next week (barring incident) I begin the next phase of the comic organizing project. I’m not sure if that will affect the daily comic reviews or not. I don’t want to make another cliffhanger break. I’ve done too many of those. We’re starting the new storyline of the re-imagined Masters Of The Universe as well as ending the Amazing Fantasy continuation miniseries. We also have the only other issue of Mr. T And The T-Force I happen to own. And I won’t have a Chapter By Chapter up this week. It returns in February. So just another regular article this round.
Here’s something I forgot to post back in August of 2016 because I wanted to make something attached to it, and didn’t get the chance. Because 2016 hated me. Still, tonight’s posting is a podcast, and while I wasn’t a guest, I still took part in it and even helped…from the chat.
Lean Into Artcast is a podcast that does what the old Art & Story I used to talk about (the archives aren’t even up anymore), a podcast about comic creation and new ways to think about making comics. It’s hosted by BW Virtual Mentor Jerzy Drozd and Rob Stenzinger, creators of the Art Soundoff Challenge I’ve taken part in the past two Novembers. Tonight we’re looking at episode 159: “Riffing Out A Story”. While Rob was not there that week, Jerzy was joined by Chris Giarrusso, creator of the G-Man comics (the character has snuck into both Jake & Leon and Captain PSA, so you know I enjoy his work), whom I’ve interviewed at a local convention before (I forget which one offhand), and Greg Schigiel, creator of the comic Pix and host of the Stuff Said podcast.
Meanwhile, in the chat was another artist, Ashley Knapp, as well as some schmuck named ShadowWing Tronix. When the time came to do the actual concept discussion (partway through the video), I entered the following suggestion:
Girl tries to help her sister learn her new superpowers despite not having any. Is she jealous? Overprotective? Fangirling out? Coming up with her own way to become a superhero?
From there we came up with…ah, why spoil it. The process is what this podcast is about so just watch the whole thing. Then you can see the fake cover I created to go with it. Luckily, Chris and Greg are funny guys and Jerzy is always cool. You can also read along with Ashley and my comments in the chat from the Google+ event page. Enjoy!

Red 5 (2008)
This was probably part of a compilation like others I’ve actually picked up when released. I don’t know this for certain, though. What I do know is that comiXology only had three credits and going to atomic-robo.com (where the series is now available online) didn’t have a list either. So this is all I have.
“The Czar Bomb” (according to the Atomic Robo website)
I know I’ve been a bit spotty with this tournament but I’m here for this one. So let’s set up the situation: Two-Face was kidnapped so a mobster could get information Harvey Dent collected on a rival mobster and put him out of business. So Batman and Robin break in to rescue him. So which side will Two-Face be on? Only the coin knows.
