Jake & Leon #222: Goodbye To RU

Just kidding,Ozzie.

Just kidding,Ozzie.

It’s true. Reviewers Unknown is no more. I plan to have an article about this for tomorrow’s commentary, but I’m going to miss being part of that group, minor a part as it was. (I don’t mean the site itself, I mean interacting with the majority of fellow RUers.) I made some friends and learned a few things but I’m still going to miss it. Luckily I know where to find everybody.

In this week’s The Clutter Reports I took a look at a Robotech Destroid produced by Matchbox. Check out the Excalibur MKVI!

My car is being repaired (by my uncle, and there’s a long story there) so new comics last or this week.

My bank account is still really low right now.

At one point I do have to move the camera around, though. Enjoy.

Friday Night Fights: Crusing For A Brusing

If you’ve been following my comic reviews this week you know about the World Championship Wrestling comic. I have, and reviewed, two issues. This one is set on the Bruise Cruise, an actual promotion by WCW where you could win a cruise where the wrestlers performed. Although I doubt anyone tried to bomb one. Until now.
