The last time we saw comics Blaster I think I mentioned how different he was from the cartoon version. So since I really don’t have a segue there, let’s set up the fight. Straxus is the currently ruling Decepticon and the Cons have activated a space bridge to Earth, which in this story is an actual bridge, more on that in tomorrow’s “Yesterday’s Comic” posting. It is here, spanning interdimensional space, that tonight’s fight takes place.
Doesn’t this happen enough in the New 52?

I was going to talk about something else but I didn’t feel as interested and I just felt like doing something to end the week.
My Reviewers Unknown colleague the Cartoon Hero doesn’t exactly care for Super Friends while my virtual mentor Jerzy Drozd enjoys it as much as I do. Now nostalgia plays a part, but so do the wacky hijinks brought up in 6 Super Friends Villains That Didn’t Give A @#%*. From shrink rays and giants to evil space rock musicians and beyond, Saturday morning went out of it’s way to make science and reason their #$tch. (Note that the article itself contains more swearing than you see here.)

I’ve said before, and I stand by it, from a pure gaming perspective Injustice: Gods Among Us looks to be a good fighting game. The mechanics look solid if the controls react properly and while some things have been done before (multi-level arenas) there are some good tweaks that could make for a good game. From a pure gaming perspective.
This is, however, not a gaming site. I don’t review games (unless I can finally get some Video Game Clutter episodes made for The Clutter Reports), I review stories. So from a storytelling perspective…actually it’s not all that bad either if not for one minor detail…they’re screwing over Superman again! Thus once again we see what happens when people who know nothing about Superman writes official Superman stories. This is not a franchise for cynics and yet that seems to be all we’re getting, as evidenced by the comics, the upcoming movie, and now NetherRealm Studios. I’m pretty much at my wits end here.

Well I had time to get another convention video done, and yes we’re still on ConnectiCon. If you count panels we’re going to be there for a while. In this edition we travel to the “online media” section for our usual quick promo interviews with the comic creators there. Along with updates when needed.
