Armageddon: The Alien Agenda #2
DC Comics (December, 1991)
“Rome Alone” WRITER: Johnathan Peterson PENCILER: Mike Netzer INKER: Joe Rubinstein COLORIST: Tom McCraw LETTERER: Albert De Guzman ASSISTANT EDITOR: Kelly Puckett EDITOR: Denny O’Neil
What we’re saying is, Tommy has a type.
It’s the last chance I had to do a Tommy joke so I had to go for it. But I really had an issue with Zeltrax. I have never been able to understand his design, which would make drawing difficult even if cold and family project hadn’t dropped my creation time to a few hours.
As I write this I don’t know what I’m reviewing for the afternoon comic review. And I don’t have much to say. The cold and the project are both almost over (bad timing, both happening at once) so hopefully the next strip will be better. I also finally have a Captain PSA in mind and we’ll see if I have time to finish it this week.
UPDATE! I HAVE THE COMIC FOR THIS WEEK! Before the Archie run, the Mega Man comics were published by fledgling comic publisher Dreamwave before Pat Lee screwed over practically everybody. All this week, the original US comic will be reviewed. It takes a very different turn.
50 subscribers on YouTube may not seem like much to you, but it’s my first milestone. In this livestream, recorded live at 7PM ET on this posting date (and if you’re hear at the time you’re live) I plan to discuss future video and article ideas and if anybody shows up have a Q&A session and hopefully get some help improving my Patreon offerings. If you’re watching live, head to the YouTube page and join in the chat. Note that this is only the second livestream I’ve ever done and can’t promise things won’t go wrong. I hear for some people that’s part of the fun of live, watching people fail. That’s actually kind of sad.

Dark Claw Adventures
Amalgam (DC Comics; June, 1997)
“Face To Face” WRITER/BREAKDOWNS: Ty Templeton FINISHER: Rick Burchett COLORIST: Linda Medley LETTERER: Tim Harkins ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Darren Vincenzo EDITOR: Scott PetersonAs you can tell, this comic is done as if in the universe where Amalgam publishes comics Dark Claw (the Batman/Wolverine fusion) produced the animated series. (Possibly after the success of the movie with Hugh Keaton.)
Apparently hard-boiling a kaiju was only worth one vote, but Gamera’s not ready to throw in the towel. He’s taking another shot, and since shark hunting is in lately, with or without a tornado involved, our giant turtle pal has more to offer.
Hey Dongo, this isn’t a nude beach. Naughty robot.

FINAL ISSUE
Ironcat (June, 1999)
First, an update. I could find no information about the events of the previous issue, the one I’m missing. So not only do I not know how the last story ended I don’t know how this one began, nor can I confirm the same team worked on this story. With that we go to the review, although I can follow what I need to at least.

Hollywood as a bad habit of adding things to “based on a true story” movies that changes what we know about these real people because we take the movie at face value. Little embellishments for the sake of the story or fill in gaps we don’t know about is one thing. But when you totally change a character, most of us aren’t going to research the actual events and find out what really happened, which is why I like when someone points out what Hollywood screwed up and shows us what REALLY happened. But you know what makes thing worse? When what they took out was actually BETTER than what was in the movie! Cracked contributor Luke John Smith has some examples of just such a failure, including the above example.
