“Oh sure, when Superman does it everyone calls it amazing.”
Spider-Man: The Manga #19
Marvel Comics (September, 1998)
WRITER/ARTIST: Ryoichi Ikegami
TRANSLATION: Mutsumi Masuda
RETOUCH/PRODUCTION: Dan Nakrosis & Rob Kuzmiak
COVER DESIGN: Jeffrey Huang
EDITOR: Glenn Greenberg
In the last chapter of Robotech Colonel Wolff was grilled over Dana’s escape as politics prevented actual guilty parties in this story from getting what they deserved. Let’s hope the Invid gets them first!
Speaking of “last chapter”, this is the last chapter of this book, with the epilogue coming next week. That means a new book in two weeks. I’m guessing this week will be the last loose ends with the epilogue being a bit of final clean-up or “where are they now” type stuff. Clearly in this version Earth will eventually turn to normal, as released documents that somehow survived the invasion, interviews for biographies, and other media were created after the Regis left Earth for Optera. So let’s see if anything interesting happened in these last days before the pounding.
Even the cover is confusing.

Cuphead is a big hit. The video games, based on the early days of animation, are popular, it got its own Netflix series, and fans are waiting for the next installment in the series. While other game studios will push hard to a deadline (there’s a period called “crunch time” which is about working yourself crazy to meet said deadline), the game studio behind the series wants a good game but not at the expense of their workers’ health. This is an occasion where “it will be done when it’s done” is actually a good thing.
Jason killing? Fine. Huntress killing? How dare you? Jean-Paul Valley…
Not the best Red Hood drawing but it’s, what…the second time I’ve tried?
So despite all the hype I put on it…I didn’t get to see G.I. Joe: The Movie in theaters. Thursday night, the national release, I was too tired because I had trouble getting to sleep most of this week. I’m guessing it’s tied to the constipation I ended up with this weekend that kept me from going to the Saturday afternoon re-airing in my local theater. All I could do for this week’s Clutter Report was set my dad’s new flip phone up and finish this week’s comic.
As to what’s coming next week, the final full chapter of Robotech: Before The Invid Storm, which means after the following week’s epilogue it will be time for a new Chapter By Chapter book review. Otherwise I’m not sure. It depends on what my medical and sleeping states are this week. I’ll do my best to post stuff worth checking out though. Have a good week, everyone!
I said it before and I stick by it. Man Of Steel was a decent superhero movie but as a Superman movie it’s terrible. Zack Snyder doesn’t understand Superman as a character because he goes against the things Snyder believes in this world, if his other movies are any indication. Being a good director doesn’t make him the right fit for every project and when it comes to this one that is most definitely the case.
I bring you Linkara‘s recently posted review for a couple of reasons. One is that he had to fight YouTube’s broken Content ID system to get anything out. You’ll see in the review some of the ridiculous steps he had to take just to get the review out. Another is that so much of what he says mirrors my own thoughts on the movie, though I did add a bunch of my own in the comments, that I’ll copy over here. Finally, with all the work he put into it he deserves as much revenue as he can, and if ad revenue includes embeds like mine I’m happy to help…though someday I’m going to have to do my own review to go over some thoughts that didn’t make it into my comments.
