“Yesterday’s” Comic> Real Adv. Of Jonny Quest #1

Real Adv Of Johnny Quest #1

Isn’t this usually how most real quests END?

The Real Adventures Of Jonny Quest #1

Dark Horse (September, 1996)

This comic was a tie-in to the Cartoon Network series (which I believe was also released in syndication) and features an older version of the show’s characters. It also has Jessie, Race’s daughter (who made her appearance in Jonny’s Golden Quest). With everybody older the series took a darker tone, as did the animation. It’s at least worth checking out.

I first learned about the acapella group Pentatonix when they did a medley cover of Daft Punk songs. In our first music video for Christmas Spotlight 2013, the band performs “Little Drummer Boy” and nails it like hammer.

“Parents Of The Atom”
WRITER: Fabian Nicieza
PENCILER: Andy Kubert
INKER: Matt Ryan
COLORIST: Kevin Soames
LETTERER: Richard Starkings
EDITOR: Bob Harras

This story was part of the “Age Of Apocalypse” storyline that was going on in the mutant titles at the time. Someone went back in time and killed Xavier before he could form the X-Men and somehow Apocalypse took over the world. I don’t know if they ever said what happened to the other Marvel heroes.

BW Let’s Play & Annual Christmas Spotlight Appeal

Captain Yuletide #1

Yes, it’s Christmastime again. Time to fill the Spotlight with Christmas cheer. As usual I have a lot to do (even without a job to take more time…sadly nobody’s paying me, either) so I turn to the readers, viewers, and people who just stumble upon me to help me find stuff so there’s more Christmas-themed postings.

I also want to add Let’s Plays to my repertoire and I have a poll for that. This year, with people following on YouTube, Twitter, Google+, and elsewhere I’m using the power of video to further my reach.
