As the anthologies I current go through go, this is only three stories and shorter than the Golden Age fare. Time is not my friend this week, and this is the wrong week for three anthology titles I have to go through, but that’s my life for you. Let’s get on with it.
No credits given again.
Considering how long this book is we’re probably going to be halfway through the book for a while. That’s the problem with a long novel like these Op-Center novels. At this point I’m out of stuff to write for the intro, so at least the Chapter By Chapter intro is long enough.
In the last chapter Squires met with the British agent he’ll be working with. Their cover isn’t as a couple. Meanwhile, she might have a chance at payback. This chapter we’re going back to Commie Op-Center. Let’s see how much closer they are to screwing up.
Prime’s seen enough anime to know where this is going.

BW Vs Bleeding Fool> Superheroes STILL Don’t Need A Break
Why do we keep having this conversation. Come to think of it, why do we keep rehashing most of these conversations lately? Maybe because we focus on the wrong problem.
Admittedly I’m a huge superhero fan. I grew up at a time when being a superhero fan was rewarded with content. From new stuff to reruns of original stuff back when black and white wasn’t a deterrent (I still blame Ted Turner’s obsession with colorizing old movies), there was a lot of superhero shows, while movies with superheroes continued to pop up. It was a great time to love superheroes. Also admittedly we don’t necessarily live in those times.
We do have more superhero stuff coming out, but a lot of it is being poorly received, and I do acknowledge why. Heck, the article I’m about to go up against from geek media site Bleeding Fool and writer A.H. Lloyd also acknowledges why at point…and then takes the scorched earth approach to the superhero genre, with the title “After 35 Marvel Movies & Six Batmans, The World Needs A Break“, except his solution is a break from the entire genre. I can’t help but disagree even when I agree with him. I wasn’t even going to make this a Vs article originally but It eventually felt like it fits the series, so here we go. Read the article so you know I’m not taking things out of context (or can yell at me if I am) and let’s dive into this discussion. Again.
