This is what Captain Marvel SHOULD look like!
Fellow Friday Night Fighter Brian Snell of Slay Monstrobot Of The Deep found an issue of Plastic Man from around the time of Identity Crisis and writer Kyle Baker decided to skewer it. The scene also fits into today’s discussion of superheroes and kids. The scene doesn’t feature Plas, however, but Mary Marvel. It’s definitely worth reading. Apparently other jabs were made but it’s Mary Marvel’s speech about superheroes and kids that I want to focus on for this link. Actually, a lot of real-world celebrities could benefit from hearing Billy’s words as she relays them.
I don’t own the actual first five issues of Marvel’s run on Battlestar Galactica. Instead I’m reading from a trade collection of the five issues plus #s 15 and 16 for some reason. I’ll review the trade on Saturday. The cover images for the individual issues will be coming from Comic Covers.
If the food is that bad, just make a review on Yelp next time!

They could always make money as an “upside down house” attraction.
You know, I think that’s the first time I’ve ever drawn the Hulk. Not just for this comic, I mean period. Also, I accidentally lowered the line for the top of the comic but I don’t mind so much. Panels have felt a bit tall since I changed the orientation of the page.
So I still didn’t get to resume The Clutter Reports and RU just got the same video BW had last night.
Even chained up that thing looks scary.
Still haven’t had luck with a media job and it’s the only skill and interest I really have. I’m kind of iffy about taking a temp job and I’m not sure if pride isn’t involved…yeah, I have issues. However, even if I had an income still there was only one comic coming for me Wednesday so this would have ended up a “Yesterday’s Comic” week anyway. Instead of Transformers, however, I’m going to go through my Marvel Battlestar Galactica comics, although at least most will come from a trade collection. I’ll still review them in their individual forms and hope they turn out better than Liefeld’s Galactica. I really need to lighten my comic load not just because I need the money but because the collection is so big I can’t enjoy it.
The future is still unclear since I’m tired of the blockades to my goals but I still need an income. Hope you can all put up with me for a while. The reviews, commentaries, and videos will hopefully be worth it.
I thought this would be the easier video, but then I decided that it needed some clips and images as much as my usual interview videos. In the first of two interview videos from the 2012 ComiCONN convention I had the chance to talk to some big names in comics, and contributors to TV and movies. See what you missed last year?
The interviewees for this one are Chris Giarruso, Man Of Action’s Joe Kelley, Mike DeCarlo, Ric Meyers, Mike Lilly, Paul Kupperberg, bob Greenberger, Peter David (before his heart attack), Matthew K. Manning, Althia Martinez, and Jerry Ordway

Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters #4
IDW Publishing (August, 2013)
STORY: Mike Johnson & Mairghread Scott WRITER: Mike Johnson ARTIST: Agustin Padilla INKER: Jose Aviles COLORISTS: Priscilla Tramontano, Josh Burcham, & Thomas Deer SELECTED COVER ART: Ken Christiansen LETTERER: Tom B. Long EDITOR: Carlos GuzmanKind of need to be quick on this one, so I’m going fast and silly. One of my favorite Daffy Duck cartoons is Stupor Duck, which should surprise nobody. So when an issue of Looney Tunes featured stories featuring the Superman parody I had to get it. Sadly, the third story features Bugs as Super-Rabbit and frankly that short wasn’t nearly as good and that’s not my character preference talking. Daffy plays characters. Bugs play…Bugs.
Tonight’s entry, however, doesn’t come from that story. It’s just Bugs showing up Daffy for no good reason. Sadly, this is my problem with how Bugs is written nowadays, where he’s almost as bad as Daffy. Instead it’s from the better story as Stupor Duck gets his own Titano. At least it wasn’t Bepo. (Seriously, what was even the point of that thing? I don’t care what the marketing says.)
