Friday Night Fight: Huntress Needs Longjohns

Second verse, same as the first. It’s a battle in the snow Spacebooger’s asking for, and here in CT we MAY have flurries tomorrow. This time I have a  good fight, and one I thought I used. My chart says no, so here it goes. It’s the post-Crisis, pre-52 Huntress bringing more than coal to the bad guys.

Morning Article Link: Pushing Past The Sliding Timeline

 

imaa-tony

The “sliding timeline” is how writers keep character forever at the “marketable” age. For example, moving Iron Man’s origin from Vietnam to Desert Storm. However, every now and then writers push a bit far and de-age a character even if we first met them as adults. Newsarama‘s George Marston brings us 10 examples of the Fountain Of Youth in action.

Chapter By Chapter> Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire ch. 9

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.

Chapter By Chapter Star Wars - Shadows Of The Empire

While writing the ending to yesterday’s article I realized that I won’t be doing normal posting next week due to Christmas week. It will be all Christmas videos until (hopefully) my Video Review. So rather than be behind with 32 chapters I still have to read through you get a second Chapter By Chapter this week.

As you may recall from Monday, Luke and Rogue Squadron had done all they could with their distraction while the Millennium Falcon crew had bogeys on their tail and Boba Fett in their sights. If we can keep to events important to this event and leave the other stuff for after the fight (like more of Xizor being pompous scum or Vader sparing with a droid) this could be really good.
