Friday Night Fight: Gods Versus Ants

Well, one god in particular. And if you know anything about the comics I reviewed this week you know what’s coming. But you know me, fights that end with something other than punching and shooting interest me. It’s something outside of the norm and prove you can have a fight without “punch first, think later” as the default. Besides, I get to laugh at the Loki fangirls. It’s almost as fun at laughing at anyone who thinks Hal is the best Green Lantern every because he’s superawesome and crap.

My Favorite Intros: Ultraman Tiga

Ultraman Tiga #1

If you don’t follow the reviews I do at Midnight eastern time, I’ve been reviewing the above comic, Ultraman Tiga, an adaptation of the Japanese TV series produced in Hong Kong. The show was brought to the US by 4Kids Entertainment and the comic by Dark Horse. I’m not super-versed in the Ultraman franchise but the shows I’ve seen brought to the US–the original (which I have on DVD), Ultra 7, and Ultraman Tiga, plus the fansub I have of the first Ultraman Zearth parody movie–were very good. There were also two US co-productions, the animated Ultraman: The Adventure Begins and live-action Australian series Ultraman: Towards The Future (which I’ve reviewed), which were my introductions to the franchise.

I’ve been wanting to look at the 4Kids version AND the original Japanese version for this series since I started reviewing the comic, and I finally have an opening to do so. Let’s look first at the original, and then the one we know in the US.
