Jake & Leon #187: Leon’s Christmas Ride (finale)

So that’s why Santa didn’t look right. I thought it was my terrible drawing.

And with that story concluded we say farewell to Christmas until next year. WordPress’ “snow” should end soon and I un-stickied the Christmas Spotlight request nobody answered. Again. However, the BW Let’s Play poll is still going until New Year’s Eve. When the ball drops the poll should end. So get that vote in.

I didn’t post anything to RU or The Clutter Reports this week. Next week we’ll be back in action.

Best Scene Of The Week

Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth #7

How often do you see Godzilla take a fist upside the head?

On the one hand, none of the other comics had a stand-out moment and should be read as a whole. On the other hand, would anything trump this?

By the way, no new comics came in this week and odds aren’t favorable for next week. “Yesterday’s” Comic returns next week with the usual lineup: DC on Monday, Marvel on Tuesday, Jonny Quest on Wednesday, Transformers on Thursday, and Guyver on Friday. In the afternoon position for this week, and possibly next, I’m doing more old comics, going past Bio-Booster Armor Guyver into the “B”s to look at more old comics to clear through my collection. So it’s all oldschool next week, kids.

Saturday Night Showcase: He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Commentary

He was calling her “pretty lady” a little while earlier. I wonder if Marlena ever told Adam about the movie Star Wars?

Previously I’ve posted the He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special video here as part of Saturday Night Showcase. To finish off our Christmas Spotlight I’m posting a commentary from the official YouTube He-Man channel. Learn a few interesting things, including stuff you haven’t noticed if you’ve watched it before and some behind-the-scenes only commentator James “Busta Toons” Eatock was privy too. Well, except for the people who worked on it.

Friday Night Fights: Spider-Man And His Animal Friends

This isn’t a Pet Avengers appearance. While there were no old comics this week (and based on my pull list report from ComiXology no new comics next week) I did go through old comics I’ve already reviewed. This fight shows a first date for Adventures Peter Parker going…almost normal for Peter Parker.

“Sugar Ray” round 4

BW Presents Captain Yuletide #2

A day late, but only because I didn’t think anyone would be paying attention, otherwise it would have only been a little late. Okay, this was supposed to be up last year so it’s still really late, but now you can read or download and read Captain Yuletide #2 in PDF format, so everyone can read it. This time the chosen elf is Zek, the shortest elf, who must rescue Santa Claus from…well, I won’t spoil it here although the title might if you know your international Christmas lore well enough. Enjoy.
