Morning Article Link: Marvel Censors Miracleman…One Word

Marvelman

Marvel was celebrating getting Miracleman…and then we get to issue #15. Violence? No problem. The N word? Censor that now! Granted I don’t know the context because I couldn’t give a fig about the darkening of a Captain Marvel knockoff but Bleeding Cool shows us the goods. Or bads, depending on your perspective.

History Of Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive part 1

History of Power Rangers 2

I’m not ready to get my review on full force. Most of the comics this week (except for Secret Wars II, Furman’s Transformers, and Marvel’s Power Rangers being potential exceptions…okay, definite in Furman’s case) are going to be good ones. But if it’s negativity you want, Operation Overdrive is the right place for it. The reason Wild Force is least favorite Power Rangers show is that great potential was chipped away by an unnecessary dip into Captain Planet territory. In the case of Operation Overdrive, however, the great potential was sucked out almost immediately, so it’s easily the worst the franchise has produced. That’s just how my mind works.

But most of this series, which will take all four days, is Linkara’s mind and what he saw wrong in this series. As usual I’ll pop in my two cents after the videos but this is Linkara’s train ride and I’m just a passenger. He’s already gotten to Jungle Fury on his own site but we’re a show behind to get you to go there for the new stuff. (Not sure what happens when he gets caught up with a series.) So grab your map because this show gets lost rather easily.

Morning Article Link: In Defense Of The Zelda Cartoon

Must be the Ninendo Wii version.

Must be the Ninendo Wii version.

Amidst rumors of a live action Legend of Zelda Netflix series in production my fellow Reviewers Unknown refugee Rowdy C. Moore makes a good defense of the Legend Of Zelda cartoon that aired Fridays as part of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show. I don’t understand the hate myself. It was my favorite part of the show.
