Kind of what I want for the comic. Maybe a better series will take its place.

Get used to that name, folks. We’re doing Battletech comics all week!
Battletech #1
Blackthorne Publishing (October, 1987)
SCRIPT: Joe Judt PENCILER: Palmer Worley INKER: Jim Nelson COLORIST: James Wagner no other credits givenBefore I start the review, I should mention that I have never played the game and only played a demo of the computer game that spun off from it, MechWarrior. I have, however, seen the syndicated cartoon and enjoyed it and have a novel that will someday end up on Chapter By Chapter. So what I know is based on that. The only playbook I own is based on the cartoon, so I’m at least aware of the history of the Battletech Universe.
I’m actually a little concerned about Stephanie 52.
You wonder how badly Stephanie Brown is going to be screwed over by the New 52 writers/editors who didn’t seem to want her back in the first place. Personally, I want her to be the Spoiler rather than the new Robin because the Spoiler is HER identity. Robin is now an internship or something in the New 52 and she’s fine in the role she created herself.
So how many of you missed seeing this?
And I guess we’re not going to see them.
Six new comics for review this week, but that’s mostly catch-up for the few titles I’ll be getting. But at least the new comic reviews and Best Scene are back, plus I’m still going over my collection for “Yesterday’s” Comic. And there are more things to come here at the Spotlight. Hope you like ’em.
This is why villains can’t have skylights.

I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s a robot T-Rex punching a space squid while singing what I think is the Jaws theme. Or the 60’s Batman theme, and I”m not sure which would be cooler.
And the odd part? It’s not Super Dinosaur.
I ended up with the subscription cover.
