Spinoff Online has the latest trailer for the new Peanuts movie. After seeing it, I’m not so sure. It could be good, it could be mediocre, or it could be bad. We’ll find out soon enough.

Droids #2
Star Comics (Marvel; June, 1986)
“The Ultimate Weapon!” WRITER: Dave Manak PENCILER: John Romita INKERS: Al Williamson & Jon D’Agostino COLORIST: George Roussos LETTERER: Grace Kremer EDITOR: Sid Jacobson
Many moons ago we looked at the first collaboration between Marvel Comics and Drake’s snack cakes, a four-issue miniseries in which Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, and Silver Surfer were slowly drawn into battle with Doctor Doom to rescue Jubilee from his energy experiments. Apparently the promotion was good enough to create a second one in 1994, this time five issues long and drawing in the other X-Men.
Eric Fein returns as the writer of these issues with rotating art teams. Letterer Janice Chiang and editor Glenn Herdling, as well as the Editor-In-Chief at Marvel at the time, Tom DeFalco, are the only other consistent names. So until the Comicstorian (if you don’t know who that is, I think I know what the next “Internet Spotlight” is going to be on) finally goes over these, it’s up to me to complete the review of this event. Good thing we loved our Coffee Cakes and Devil Dogs at the future BW HQ at the time. Never really got into Yodels.
Holofoils, even when it’s only part of the cover, are a pain to scan.
Spider-Man Adventures #1
Marvel (December, 1994)
“Night Of The Lizard” TELEPLAY: Gerry Conway, Stan Berkowitz, & John Semper ADAPTATION: Nel Yomtov ARTIST: Alex Saviuk COLORIST: Kevin Tinsley LETTERER: Steve Dutro EDITOR: Eric Fein GROUP EDITOR: Danny FingerothThis comic is based on the 90s Fox Kids version of Spider-Man. The comic already claims it’s freely adapted so I know there are going to be differences. Therefore, I didn’t bother watching the episode since it’s unnecessary for the review.

Dragon Ball Super, the latest in the Dragon Ball Saga, will soon be airing in Japan. While the TV Spot is short there’s also promo art thanks to Spinoff Online to look at.
