Jake & Leon #205: Tiny Godzilla

Also, Godzilla had allergies. Who knew?

Also, Godzilla had allergies. Who knew?

Baltazar’s Twitter handle didn’t pop up or it would have been in there, too. This post sparked an idea. And the actual Art Baltazar and Franco (who actually retweeted it) are welcome to use that joke. If they somehow run out and get desperate by post time. Seriously, IDW needs to let them do this!

And no, I haven’t seen the new Godzilla. I was slightly ill this weekend. If I can (money is currently a problem when none is coming in) I will try to gather my crew together (haven’t seen one of them in a long time) to go see it but I’m hearing mostly good things about it.

This part will be short because, pressed for time, both The Clutter Reports and Reviewers Unknown had the same review, so pick your favorite. The review is a Godzilla audio drama originally from the 70s that was re-released in the 90s. There was also no Best Scene nomination because the only new comic didn’t deserve one, and there won’t be one next week because I didn’t pick anything up. However, the afternoon review will slowly go over RoboCop Versus The Terminator, which will also have a wrap-up review in the next Clutter Report. It will be easier to get that one out of the way so at least the timing is perfect.

Last week we brought you three reviewers I thought would make a good fit for Channel Awesome. Well, since my plans fell through…again…here’s three more people I think should join their ranks. Again, my suggestions are based not on my enjoyment but on both the quality of the production and the ability to meet their “once every two weeks minimum” criteria.

Friday Night Fight: Blinded By The Bat-Light

When it comes to Friday Night Fights I like to find the somewhat different fights, where the fist, foot, or weapon/superpower isn’t the primary tool. Tonight I found one of those for you. If you recall my look at the Giant Batman Annual at the beginning of the week you may remember one of the stories was how the Bat-Signal saved the day. Let’s see that in action.
