Morning Article Link: More On A Transformers Cinematic Universe

Transformers: Alliance #4

Spinoff Online‘s Kevin Melrose brings more news about the Transformers Movieverse, including a potential spinoff story set on Cybertron. Odd thing, though. They’re discussing whether or not it’s going to be live-action or animated. If it’s set on Cybertron, presumably with no humans, isn’t it going to be computer generated, and thus animated one way or the other?

“Yesterday’s” Comic> Transformers: The War Within #2

By the way, I goofed. the preview I reviewed last week should actually go between issues #2 & #3 since in this issue Starscream and crew are sent on the mission that Grimlock gets mixed up with after walking away, also in this issue.

I know I’ll get yelled at for saying it but I was never drawn to The Big Lebowski. It’s just not my thing although I know movie geeks seem to love it. While I was trying to figure out what to write about today, I was catching up with my video watching and came upon this video by Cracked made an interesting connection between Alice In Wonderland and the travels of The Dude. Could the Cohen Brothers snuck a few references in? The host makes a very convincing case.

Lando’s nightmare.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back adaptation

Dark Horse (February, 1997)

originally published by Marvel in Star Wars #39-44, I have the novel-sized trade paperback, which I read so often I don’t really need to read this to write the review. This will not only be a comparison to the movie but to the original adaptation. Dark Horse changed a few things. At least somebody did, but I’ll explain in a moment.

Morning Article Link: Conan Serves A New God

 

Conan the Adventurer (collection)

I am not a fan of Conan The Barbarian (although I did enjoy Conan The Adventurer, the animated take on Robert E. Howard’s character) but I thought some of you who might be would find this interesting, and that’s why the Morning Article Link exists. ICv2 is reporting that the company that owns the rights to Conan has been bought out by a new company, whose owner used to work at the old company. Talk about climbing the corporate ladder, going out the window, and going to the roof.
