I love this show, by the way. It’s fun, the tomboy is allowed to be a straight girl (unlike every current tomboy on American TV), the characters are fantastic, everything makes sense, and he didn’t mention the minor characters, who are also a joy…especially Tomo’s dad and Misuzu’s mom. I want another season of this show but I don’t know what they’d do with it without weakening the series as a whole. Also, I need to read the manga now.
January 17, 1931 – September 9, 2024
Hollywood has lost another cinema treasure. Word came last night that James Earl Jones has passed away at 93 years old. My condolences to his family and friends.
Jones had an amazing career in theater, movies, and television. Many of those roles were forgotten to time. I didn’t know he appeared on two different soap operas. He’s mostly known for Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, Mufasa in the good version of The Lion King, and maybe Thulsa Doom in the first Conan The Barbarian movie. Those are great roles, but he’s done so many stories, from pushing a man to turn his cornfield into a baseball park to a lemming on Sesame Street (unless IMDB is lying about that last one), Jones has done many movies and shows both physically and in voice roles. Everybody has their favorites.
What follows are four roles you might not know Jones played. I love Darth Vader as much as the next sci-fi geek, but it’s not the only role I’ll remember him for. Check these out.
Wow. Tarzan really let himself go.
Jumbo Comics #9
Real Adventures Publishing Company (August-September, 1939)
Apparently Comic Book Plus only had a black-and-white fiche for the source material originally, but around 2019 gained access to a color copy comic scan. Considering the note from editor “Jumbo Jim” says this was their first color outing, it’s nice they were able to get a colored version. So let’s see if this was worth the trouble.
Last time we checked in with our “friends” at Op-Center, and not only are we doing the evil twin story way too early, but they’re taking the competent member of the team out of the loop. Too bad he’s also the one in charge.
Speaking of too early, I was expecting this, but not this soon. After the first novel I knew we’d have chapters so short that they had to be read with other chapters. We have reached that at chapter four, lasting two pages, while chapter five is five. Chapter six is also five pages, but we’ll barely count that as a chapter. That’s the problem when every chapter is a scene and there isn’t much to go over in a scene. Again, I really hope some of you authors out there go over your thought process when it comes to choosing chapter breaks in your novel. I make comics, so it’s not currently an issue with me, though one story idea I have would make a better novel series than a comic. I just wonder if I’m being too harsh or if these books really do have a hard time getting chapter breaks right.
Our longer chapter is in Russia, while the short one is in Brighton Beach. I’m not sure which Brighton Beach because I don’t read the chapters before writing the intros. It keeps things authentic when I have questions going in. All I know is we won’t be seeing the regular cast, and that’s usually a good thing according to the last book. With that, let’s dive in and see what’s going on. Continue reading
According to my source, this comic came with a copy of the fan magazine Hero Illustrated. So this is just won of those that the reading order creator dropped it in because they didn’t know where else to put it.
Tom’s fans are really getting vicious.
