In a previous article link I showed a guy who had to go online to find playable female characters for a DC Hero-based board game. ICv2 reports that DC has apologized for this mistake. That’s nice, but they shouldn’t have made it in the first place and it remind me that Young Justice was canceled not because of rating but because girls were buying the toys as well as the targeted boys. I don’t understand why these companies keep assuming boys don’t want to play with their sisters or the girl next door (in between the “cooties” and “cuties” stages of male/female relationships) or that girls shouldn’t play with something boys like. Hasbro doesn’t complain about the bronies.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3
Hamilton Comics (February, 1995)
“It’s Not The End Of The World!” WRITER: Jack C. Harris ARTIST: Al Bigley COLORIST: Summer Hilton LETTERER: A Machine (the joke never gets old, does it Hamilton?) EDITOR: John. Clark & Gary Leach CREATIVE CONSULTANT: Cheryl SabanAt this point Jason, Zack, and Trini were replaced by Rocky, Adam, and Aisha. This is never explained why in the comic. You’d have to wait for Saga to come out and even then it never got around to adapting that episode since they lost the license first.
Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Well, things are going downhill for Kirk, aren’t they? He’s had to put a chief engineer who doesn’t like him in charge while he chases Spock’s only chance to get his brains back before their first contact drifts into Klingon space, and their new friends aren’t much help. Plus Spock is currently a prisoner of one of those Klingons and time is running out. Meanwhile I’m having trouble being drawn into this tale. We have two chapters and an epilogue to go. Let’s see if something goes right for our heroes this time.
Shogun Warriors #11
Marvel (December, 1979)
“The Hand Of Fate” WRITER: Doug Moench PENCILER: Herb Trimpe INKER: Jack Abel COLORIST: Carl Gafford LETTERER: John Costanza EDITOR: Allen MilgromUs old fogies remember how great the Star Wars arcade game was. Sure, you could see through everything since it was all wire frames but you had Obi-Wan coaching you while chatter went on, and a control that felt like the controls of an X-Wing Fighter. Well, it’s time for an upgrade. Kotaku‘s Evan Narcisse reports on the NEW Star Wars Battle Pods, where you can feel like you’re sitting in more than the X-Wing. You also get to pilot a Snowspeeder (I’m sold!) and a speeder bike to challenge the Empire!
I’m waiting for someone to read the caption and complain “they’re not men, they’re robots so they don’t have gender” so I can be further disappointed in the human race.
The Transformers #66
