Give Max credit. He finally found a way to get an anniversary comic in.
Should we be worried? What is Max planning? We’ll find out in the next few strips and I hope you like what’s coming.
I’m thinking Bat-Mite saw that episode of Johnny Bravo.
We have a near full load for this week in the new comics department. As for Marvel, it’s another series. Pray for me, people. I’m diving into the “Heroes Reborn” comics, or at least the ones I have. Surprisingly nobody it’s mostly Iron Man but I did grab a few others. Let’s see just how much I regret it.
While I will agree that there aren’t enough strong female heroines in fiction, especially Saturday morning shows, if someone tells you there aren’t any, they’re totally wrong. For example, Jana Of The Jungle is a female version of Tarzan. There was a time when comics had their fair share of “jungle girls” but I couldn’t tell you how much influence they had on this series.
The show follows Jana, lost while on a boat with her father. The series intro says that she is forever searching for her father, but I don’t recall that ever being a plotline. Then again, it’s been years since I’ve seen the show and this was the only episode I came across. However, it’s a good one, and let’s you meet all the main characters and see Jana doing what she does best. In our selected episode, they found a way to do the “evil twin” story. This isn’t the kind of show you expect the evil twin from, and no, it’s not Jana. Just watch…”The Renegade”!
This time with an actual Juniper Lee story.

Hold on to your hats, folks. This is a full load this issue. And no, I don’t know why issue #3 was skipped. Unless it’s hiding on me.

The Megas and Rowdyruff Boys strips are kind of short.
New tournament here at the Friday Night Fights. Our MOC Spacebooger has named this one after “Battling Murdock”, father of future superhero Matt Murdock. Curious to see what the Prize Fight theme will be but we have 12 rounds to go through, first.
I didn’t come across any decent fights from this week’s entries so here’s one from some time ago as Spidey and Silver Surfer team up…the hard way!
Juniper Lee does not appear in this issue. It’s just an interview with the creator.

For those of you who don’t know, Stan Lee Media was a licensing group founded by Stan Lee but taken over by investors who now claim to own everything Stan Lee ever made or will make. They seem more interested in suing for control of things Lee never had the rights too but had a hand in. Basically, they kicked Lee out and now claim to own him.
Robot 6 learned of their latest tomfoolery as they pretty much tricked a music theater into thinking they could license Spider-Man from them, but all likenesses of Spidey is owned by Marvel, now owned by Disney. (None of this explains the other uses of Disney properties that are part of Disney’s suit against the theater.) It’s a sad case, but SLM, who is no longer tied to Stan Lee himself no matter how often they practically claim to own him and everything he does, is a pretty sad group.
