“Today’s” Comic> Ultraduck Free Comic Book Day 2024

I feel like that Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck bit where they think there are no more bullets. Apparently last week’s comic wasn’t the last one from my list. Pretty sure this is.

The website I had to use to read this is a royal pain, by the way. Everytime I click to go to the next page some other tab opens up and I have to close it. This is why I don’t like using scan sites. Hopefully nothing’s going on my computer I don’t want, but it’s sad that this comic is so obscure this is the only site I could find it on. I rather enjoyed the last Ultraduck comic I read. Still, here we go.

Chapter By Chapter #24 Reveal

 

Yes, it’s time for a new book. I just finished my third Star Trek novel, which was my overall 23rd book to review. That book was introduced to me when I found the sequel and enjoyed it enough to look into the first book. The 24th book in our series is a sequel, but not to that book. I like to go in cycles: one licensed series, then an original story, then a different licensed series, then another original, and so on. We’ll return to Star Trek at some point if we’re still hopping about, but not this time.

What I am doing is returning to an original series I reviewed the first book for, and really didn’t like. The characters were not the heroes I needed or deserved because they weren’t the best examples of humanity. The one-shot heroes were more interesting and they won’t be here. We’re stuck with the unlikable characters, but I didn’t know that when I bought this and the next sequel I’ll possibly do down the road.

Still, they did fix the weird chapter issues from the previous book, but that was more a review format complaint than a reading format complaint. That was the lesser sin but that will make this easier to review. Though I guess I’ve stalled enough for the homepage intro. For those of you who haven’t been around to guess, the next book in the Chapter By Chapter review series is…

Jake & Leon #607> Tony’s Infamous Payback

Maybe Robert Downey, Jr will play a Doombot?

Of course Doom would one-up Tony’s monitor with a hologram. That’s how Doom rolls. Also, that’s supposed to be curtains on the throne wall on Tony’s monitor. I don’t think I conveyed that right.

Anyway, over at The Clutter Reports this week we have the final book report on Star Trek: The Vulcan Academy Murders, which means tomorrow you’ll see the next book to be reviewed for Chapter By Chapter. I’ll returning to an old…”favorite” would be a bold-faced lie, so let’s say better than Seduction Of The Innocent. It is, however, a book I have not actually read before, but after reading the first book in the series I can’t say I’m going in on a high note.

Meanwhile I did fine one last Free Comic Book Day from this year’s want list online digitally, so I mistyped last Tuesday. There is one more FCBD edition of Today’s Comic before you see what the future of “Yesterday’s” Comic is going to be. Hopefully you’ll like it. I have a couple of article ideas ready to go, but that also depends on how this week goes. Have a great week, everyone!

Saturday Night Showcase> Atop The Fourth Wall: His Blue Soul

This is a bit of clearance for me. I have to clear my time, since yesterday I was too tired to get stuff done, I have to clear out my “watch later” playlist, and I have to get caught up on Atop The Fourth Wall storyline compilations, even though he hasn’t been able to do anything with them in quite some time. At least he’s between stories for once.

“His Blue Soul” features the an evil version of Linkara’s robot aid, PoIIo (pronounced like “poyo”). It’s a shorter storyline, after his major battle with the multiverse-absorbing “Entity”, and gaining his ship, Cromicon One, from defeating Lord Vyce, leaving him in another dimension.  For fans of the show’s storylines, notice I didn’t say it was the return of Mechakara. To stop this returning threat, he makes an alliance with another threat, and how he reforms him is actually rather clever.

It’s a bit odd watching these arcs outside of being tied to the reviews, and his editor left in some  parts he just fought were funny even if they weren’t part of the story. Still, this comes from the “gotta get something” pile and I’m not sure about the MST3K videos I also have in there. I need to clear this thing out more often. All I can promise is that it’s better than last week’s Showcase, and for probably less budget. Enjoy.
