Jake & Leon #224: DC’s New Time Game

Plus Marvel is already planning that.

Plus Marvel is already planning that.

Sure Marvel is using time travel while DC is using the multiverse, but same basic idea.

The Clutter Reports this week takes a look at the collection of Transformers: Matrix Quest.

Still not able to get new comics as my financial resources continue to disappear. So it’s time to finish reviewing a series.

Double Dragon #1

Some time ago I finally got my hands on Double Dragon #1, the Marvel adaptation of the video game. I had the other five issues already but it was years before I found the first one. While I reviewed that comic I never got to the rest of it. This week we’re going to fix that.

Friday Night Fight: Speaking of knockoffs….

Earlier today I linked to an article discussing knockoffs that became wildly popular. Tonight we look at one less successful. While IDW has the rights to the entire Toho library, Dark Horse only had the rights to Godzilla (although as we’ll see in a few issues they snuck something else in) and so created a knockoff of MechaGodzilla called Cybersaur. This is the first battle they had with Godzilla. And proof that a fully-charged battery is always recommended when going up against the King Of The Monsters!
