What a week. Just got over a cold and I got hit with allergies. And I’m betting this shake-off is temporary since they’re saying it’s going to be a short but fierce allergy season this year. And there was a bunch of other stuff. I didn’t even get to make a post for The Clutter Reports this week and that bothers me.
In the comic reviews this week we begin the last of the Armageddon miniseries this week and check up on Waverider. Meanwhile, the Power Rangers have ended their comic run, so it’s time to start a new series. And in keeping with the Japan-to-America theme I have one more series I can use. Starting this week we look at Antarctic Press’s of….
Some time after or possibly around (my memory’s hazy) the time the remake of Gigantor appeared on television, Antarctic Press obtained the license for a comic starting the space-age robot. How was it? We’ll be finding out starting on Friday.
The full title of this panel is History Meets Television: The History And Fan Theory Of Artifacts In Warehouse 13. You can probably guess what this panel is going to focus on. I’ve mentioned Warehouse 13 a number of times here at the Spotlight because it’s a really good show, and one of the few things SyFy did right, although the show’s been cancelled. In this panel, a couple of historians who happen to be fans of the show take a look at the real history of the famous people and places that influenced the artifacts in the series.

How about an amalgamation of Green Lantern and Iron Man fighting a giant robot shark. Not enough? Seriously? How about we put him in space? I thought that might get your attention.
I actually got to this review before Linkara. Sadly, I also beat him to Liefeld’s Galactica so I had to review that mess.

He who controls the origin controls the power, and that’s true for the first meeting of two of the company’s flagship characters. Graeme McMillain of Newsarama chronicles 10 such meetings throughout multiple continuities. Personally, #10. the true first meeting, is MY favorite, and the first one I ever saw.
No, that’s not the reason it’s my favorite.
