Chapter By Chapter: Enterprise – The First Adventure ch. 2

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.

Chapter by Chapter Enterprise

So far it’s not the perfect chain of command change. The new helmsman isn’t happy to be here, the captain’s “friend” is trying to get him drunk before the ceremony, and there’s already a new threat getting ready. On the other hand things aren’t too bad.

Yet.

Morning Article Link: Spidey For Parliament?

Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man #55

Kotaku contributor Brian Ashcraft reports on a man in India who has an unique approach to reach the voters in his bid for Parliament. Namely by climbing buildings dressed as Spider-Man and asking people looking out the windows to vote for him. And as Radio Dead Air host Nash would say, “we got video“!

The Ultimate Warrior Passes Away

Ultimate Warrior RIP

James Brian Hellwig

The Ultimate Warrior

June 16, 1959 – April 8, 2014

Kind of shocking to wake up this morning and hear that The Ultimate Warrior has passed away, days after being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame and a day after his final appearance on Monday Night Raw. As of this writing the cause of death has not been determined, but reports say he collapsed outside his hotel.

The Warrior (Hellwig had his name legally changed in 1993) was a bit controversial when it came to his social and political views. While I haven’t paid attention to any of that as I haven’t followed wrestling much these days, I really don’t care and let’s not bring it up here. Warrior had a wife and kids who are in morning right now, as are his legion of fans. You don’t have to like the man, but show a little respect, okay? I do want to take a moment to look over the career of one of the most energetic men ever to his the squared circle.

Morning Article Link: How Zilla lost the “God”

Godzilla Rulers Of Earth #2

We reviewed Marvel’s first Godzilla comic earlier and there’s a review of the next comic in the new series coming later. Let’s keep the Godzilla train going! The Godzilla Wikia has collected reports and interviews of Toho officially changing the name of the Tri-Star Godzilla (or as fans always knew him, GINO–Godzilla In Name Only) to “Zilla” and the reasoning behind it that isn’t as mean as the insulting fight in Final Wars. After all, the animated series showed he could be a great fighter…but still no Godzilla.
