I can’t say I agree with her tastes in comedy movies, but I do agree with her points.
So unfortunately I still can’t find any of the Spider-Man/Peter Pan lid comics outside of the one I own. I see them for sale but no scans online come up in search. Maybe next cycle.
Instead it’s back to the Starriors, the Protectors search for Man and the Destructors search to stop them…or at least the one who actually knows their goal. Based on the Tomy toyline, we’re up to #4 in the mini-comic series, which is the same number of issues as the shelf comic, but not our last mini-comic. All of those thus far are up and reviewed if you want to do a search. This one features a Starrior that shares the name with my favorite GoBot. This won’t be a problem for the shelves because there’s no toy of him. It’s a character created for the comic. Also, he’s dead. Oddly, having one less hero to fight isn’t the good part for Slaughter Steelgrave. It’s how he plans to turn this against Hotshot and his crew that will make this worthwhile for him.
Instead, it’s a trick that will let one of the Destructors know what the Protectors are actually seeking. Too bad that won’t help him.
That’s nothing. You should see the bees.
Starriors #4
Marvel/Tomy (1984)
“The Trap”
Again, we have no creator credits, like the other Starriors mini-comics. It’s a shame when they don’t put their names on a work. I guess they don’t want “the toy comic” to be on their resumes unless it’s on the shelf being sold. We’ve seen good and bad pack-in mini-comics before, so it’s not a new thing. I wish they have more respect for this work. If Marvel is making these, why not put your writers and artists in there so fans know who made them? DC never had that problem.

In case you’re new to this site, I’m a Doctor Who fan. I recently completed a look at the early pitches for the original 1960s program, or programme if you’re British, among many other articles. I have almost every issue of the Marvel US run, including the four Marvel Premiere issues, edited from the UK magazine. I have a handful of novels, most of which are novelizations, a few videos, a TARDIS cookie jar a friend gave me currently holding candy instead (my friend is a bigger Whovian than I am, by the way), a Matt Smith era Sonic Screwdriver, and I’ve posted episodes on Saturday Night Showcase to share with my readers, including a current three-part set of crossover episodes. I even made two of my own fancomics as a teen. With the aforementioned friend we did a couple of 8th Doctor stories before Fox gave us an 8th Doctor and after the seventh’s run, with my friend creating an original Companion that admittedly only works for Americans. (Which we both are, though he also has ties to Canada.) On my own I made a K-9 comic where Mark II left E-Space on his own and served aboard an Earth exploring vessel in search of the Doctor. I did “Doctor Who meets Star Trek” before IDW.
A mutual friend told us about the show on PBS but I didn’t get to see it until the TV schedule changed to allow it because it was airing at suppertime. Once I finally got to see it I really liked it. I didn’t care about the lower quality that came with the budget. I just really enjoyed the serialized adventures of a time traveler and his rotating cast of comrades as they traversed time and space in whatever the heck a Police Box was. (American, remember.) Later, I got to see the Peter Cushing movies, read the aforementioned comics and novels, and just enjoyed the world of Doctor Who.
So when the relaunch came out I was interested. Then the BBC’s animated relaunch was cancelled by a new show in the original live-action format and was still on board. While I had my issues, I thought it was okay. Then it started going downhill, then got good again, then totally fell apart under Chris Chibnall. The BBC was convinced only the man who brought the show back could save the show, as well as allying with Disney+, itself denouncing its own entertainment legacy in favor of agendas and Bob Iger’s ego. Still, if Russel T. Davies could bring back the magic, the show would be saved.
Russel T. Davies could not bring back the magic.
There are a lot of reasons why, but before I get into my thoughts, I have a video by an actual British person, Disparu, and another by Harbo Wholmes, going over just why the show has lost it’s place. Since the show is a British institution that just happened to find international success before the BBC hired a controller who put his snobbery above their biggest export since the musical British Invasion, I want to get their thoughts in, as two people whose Who reviews I follow on the regular.

Guess what I won’t be watching. What they’re planning to do with Alex is probably their worst crime and just made me mad to hear, but there are so many in this wanna-be anime that doesn’t have the guts to be itself or the courtesy to accurately adapt the characters. So basically everything I didn’t like about My Adventures With Superman but with Green Lanterns.
