We all have our problems with Man Of Steel (except for it’s defenders, yes yes) but this toddler found a good moment in the movie, also known as one of the few scenes I’m comfortable someone that age seeing. See, kids like Superman too. How about making some more kid-friendly Superman material DC/Warner Brothers? No? #$@% kids you say? That’s why the DC universe has no future once your pet generation outgrows comics or dies off.
And I thought last year’s ComiCONN was cramped.
Marvel Super Hero Contest Of Champions #1
Marvel Comics (June, 1982)
“A Gathering Of Heroes!” STORY: Mark Gruenwald, Bill Mantlo, and Steven Grant SCRIPT: Bill Mantlo PENCILER: John Romita, Jr. INKER: Pablo Marcos COLORISTS: Andy Yanchus and Patricia DeFalco LETTERER: Joe Rosen ADDITIONAL ART: Bob Layton EDITORS: Mark Gruenwald and Tom DeFalco
I didn’t get enough sleep last night and my brain is a bit off-function at the moment. I’ve been trying to decide on a topic for tonight and I can’t think.
Instead let me send you to the personal site of RU colleague Rowdy C. Moore (because I didn’t have a chance to get permission to just post the video here). Some time ago, Rowdy looked at the 10 moments of the original pink Power Ranger, Kimberly. This time he breaks out the other Pink Rangers to look into just what it means to be a Pink Ranger, since each Ranger color comes with different requirements. For Ranger fans it’s a good look and nobody will be surprised at #1. Actually, we’d be more surprised if it wasn’t #1.
It’s a Laff-A-Lympics reunion!
Cartoon Network Presents #23

COLORIST: Dave Tangury LETTERER: Phil Felix ASSISTANT EDITOR: Harvey Richards EDITOR: Diana Kurtin Jabberjaw: “Gammyjaws” WRITER: Chuck Kim PENCILER: John Delaney INKER: Dave Cooper Speed Buggy: “Bah, Humbug” WRITER: Andy Merrill PENCILER: Manny Galan INKER: Mike DeCarlo Captain Caveman: “Neanderthal Nightmare” WRITER: Terry Collins PENCILER: John Delaney INKER: Dave Cooper
That’s the only cover Zemanta had, but of course we’re talking about Byrne’s post-Crisis take on Krypton. I can’t say I’m a fan of it myself, but this article from DC Comics In The 80’s does bring us a look into what Byrne was thinking and I have to admit it’s an interesting concept even if I’m not thrilled with the results.
Don’t worry, Dick. We’ll buy you another one.”

“The Neighborhood” WRITER: Chuck Dixon PENCILER: Scott McDaniel INKER: Karl Story COLORIST: Roberta Tewes SEPARATIONS: Jamison LETTERER: John Costanza ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Darren Vincenzo EDITOR: Scott Peterson
Except for Ted Kord, DC seems to be targeting this cell for characters to give the New 52 treatment.
DC keeps emptying this cell. I have an idea how Cassie will break out if DC goes there. And as much as being “New 52ed” is a curse, I would like to see her get some acknowledgement.
No Clutter Report this week as my dad came home from the hospital but they still need me to help out a bit more. I hope to finish that project, and maybe some more convention footage, this week but we’ll see. I did send Reviewers Unknown my take on the “controversial” Powerpuff Girls cover if you missed that here.
Superman found a cure for Bizarro’s sleep disorder.
I was only able to get one new comic this week, since I missed The Fox again. That’s issues #1 & 3 I’ve missed out on thus far. That’s why I popped up the TMNT Color Classics review this morning. So next week is all old comics again. We’re almost done with Cartoon Network Presents until I find the Space Ghost Coast To Coast issues and I think I got all of the Ben 10 comics. I need to double check that.
