Fury Of Firestorm #37
DC Comics (July, 1985)
“Not In Our Stars But In Ourselves!” WRITER: Joey Cavalieri ARTIST: Alez Nino COLORIST: Nansi Hollahan LETTERER: Duncan Andrews EDITOR: Julius Schwartz Framing Sequence WRITER: Gerry Conway ARTIST: Rafael Kayanan INKERS: Akin & GarveyI know, I didn’t have a DC review (not surprisingly another Firestorm) last night. I didn’t have time to get to it. It’ll be up in the Noon review posting. Last weekend was a pain. Anyway, to the article link!
And yet, it’s quite real.
It’s true, or at least greenlit. Or possibly a hoax since I haven’t seen anyone outside of news sites discussing it. I wonder if it will end up anything like this:
I hope not. It was bad enough when they gave Battleship the Michael Bay treatment (minus Michael Bay). Hence the comic’s title.
It’s hard picking just one moment from this fight, but you’re watching Godzilla use Anguirus to smash the assembly line MechaGodzillas. I’m predicting the winner this week.
Yeah, I think we all knew that was coming. I didn’t get out to the comic store this week so there will be a double dose of old comic review coming up. As for new ones, I don’t know when that’s coming. I’m almost tapped out of cash and I still don’t have a job or anything coming from YouTube (and only $1 a month from one Patreon supporter) so I can’t say what will happen in the future. Frankly, I’m up the creek right now so I’m not sure when the new reviews will resume. I’ve got to find something soon or find a way to drum up more supporters and/or viewers. It was a crapshoot but one I wasn’t planning to make Plan A. (Just hoping it would be.) We’ll see what happens in the coming weeks.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a review in video form, hasn’t it? Well, time to end that streak. I have a list of review topics and it’s time to chop it down a bit. Plus I wanted to get one more in before Reviewers Unknown closes down in about two weeks.
Hard Time On Planet Earth is a show I grew up with but I don’t see a lot of online. It seemed to have disappeared. Recently, however, I saw video of the show besides the intro and checked out the pilot. I then decided it would be a good review topic. Have you heard of this show? You’re about to…if you watch this video, that is.

DC/Marvel (1981)
(reprint; 1995)
“The Heroes And The Holocaust!” WRITER: Jim Shooter PLOT SUGGESTIONS: Marv Wolfman PENCILER: John Buscema CHARACTER INKER: Joe Sinnott BACKGROUND INKERS: Terry Austin, Klaus Janson, Bob McLeod, Al Milgrom, Steve Leialoha, Walt Simonson, Bob Layton, Joe Rubinstein, & Bob Wiacek COLORIST: Glynis Wein LETTERER: Joe Rosen EDITOR: Allen MilgromYou may know Gerry Anderson‘s work if you’re familiar with the term “supermarionation“. And hopefully you saw the show before the lackluster live-actors movie. You might have even caught his other work and if not they’re up on Hulu. I even looked at Fireball XL-5 in a Saturday Night Showcase.but you may have heard of Captain Scarlett, or the live-actor series Space 1999. He’s mostly known for his blending of marionettes, miniatures, and the lost art of practical effects. He was able to make these shows exciting using puppets, and his work was parodied in Team America: World Police. Anderson passed away in 2012.
His ideas were also translated into anime. Thunderbirds: 2086 was loosely inspired by the original and another project, Firestorm (not to be confused with the DC superhero) also has a Japanese animated series. However, Anderson’s son, Jamie, is hoping to bring it back to puppets under the term “ultramarionation” with a new version of Firestorm!
