Not really into the Top Gun series, so here are jet robots fighting each other.
Top Gun: Maverick apparently did well at the box office during Memorial Day weekend. Now I don’t know how patriotic the movie is because this series wasn’t my radar, but it’s nice to see someone try to go below the surface of “nostalgia movie” and see why the film actually worked. Rebecca Rubin at Variety tried to do just that.
So this gave me something to write about today, and on the day I review Marvel comics for “Yesterday’s” Comic.
Yep, Joe Quesada is leaving Marvel altogether. Some of you probably thought he left when Axel Alonzo took over as Editor-In-Chief of Marvel Comics but he was actually moved to Chief Creative Officer, because the more corporate Marvel gets the more job titles are created out of nowhere. Now he’s going on to personal pursuits and original ideas rather than the questionable decisions he made with the old ones.
I found out about this from the below video by Comics By Perch discussing the early noon news. Of course we can’t really know where Marvel’s future is just yet. We just got this word and we don’t know if Disney even cares enough to alter the direction of the company they bought just to have more movies and merchandise money coming in. We can speculate on one thing though, and I don’t think it’s time to declare the problems at Marvel over.

In the last chapter of Robotech, Dana found herself in a bind. Trapped between her growing connection with Colonel Jonathan Wolff and her desire to get the Tirolian refugees back to their planet before they die of homesickness and disconnection from the Triumvirate, Dana is practically coerced by one of her closest associates and former squad subordinate to choose between betraying someone she care about or continue to bury people she has sworn to help.
I have to admit I’m kind of losing ground on this book. So far the only group worth caring about is those members of the 15th ATAC who didn’t run off to join a yakuza group and they’re the ones we’ve seen the least of in this story. With the book on the last few chapters the book seems to be losing me as the people I don’t like are taking center stage in a book I thought would focus more on Dana and Col. Wolff. Basically I want everyone to lose except the people we barely see. I get the feeling it will be more of the same as we dive into this week’s chapter.
