The early concept for Lost needed work.

The Power Rangers are supposed to be teenagers, right? Well, I’m pretty sure the only actor who hadn’t gotten out of college was the one who hadn’t gone to a real high school yet. The Glee and Beverly Hills, 90210 casts are the same way. It’s worse when “mom” is practically the same age as her “son” (possibly because casting directors are afraid of anyone over 40). But there’s also the nagging wife who isn’t even well-meaning, the slamming of any cool kids that don’t morph into superheroes, and the only time someone is allowed to be old, the crazy person in the horror movie who turns out to be 100% right. Cracked contributor Diana Cook explains why these five unwritten rules need to go away.
The more I look at this cover the less I can guess what’s happening.

Oh, you wacky super villains, you.
With this comic I announced that I had been asked to join Reviewers Unknown. I had never been asked to join something that didn’t require a fee. That was new to me, that somebody liked my work enough to say “hey, bring you work here and join our group”. I was invited to join a Voiceover email group and I still don’t know why, but that was it.
Saturday was the final night RU was in operation. Due to server costs and not enough return in ad revenue to cover it, Ozzie Arcane couldn’t keep the site up. I was hoping my final posting would be the tribute article you’re reading now, but last week was something of a mess and if you’ve been paying attention you know why. However, I always planned to cross-post here to the Spotlight after the site went down so I can at least keep that plan going. But first my history with the site.

There’s no secret that I like Firestorm (my second favorite DC superhero), and we’ve been going over his comics lately, but I swear I’m following the order in my longbox…until I find the GN of the first miniseries and some Flash appearances that I know is around here someplace. However, with Firestorm appearing to make a debut in the Flash TV show (it would be nice to see another metahuman on the good guy side) and Cyborg set to have a movie…eventually, Robot 6 contributor Tom Bonduart looks at the two heroes for those of you new to their stories.
