BW’s Morning Trailer: Spider-Man–Far From Home

I have not watched this trailer because there’s supposedly a huge spoiler for Avengers: Endgame and I still need to see Age Of Ultron and pretty much any Marvel movie after that. I’ve been sick and unemployed. Excuse me for missing stuff. I’m hoping to do a Finally Watched for Age Of Ultron next week.

Chapter By Chapter: Tom Clancy’s Op-Center chapters 74-76

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

We’re getting closer to the end of the book. I’m used to running low of way to discuss the book without spoiling anything in case someone stopped here before a previous installment. I think I’m out now as I’ve already said all the complaints I can just as the book finally starts trying to make up for the failings. Except for the annoying way it approaches chapters.

Jake & Leon #407: Free Comic Book Day–The Movie

Worse, it wasn’t even based on a comic book.

Hope your Free Comic Book Day was a good experience. If you missed yesterday’s quick review I’ll be going over all of my haul in greater detail over the next 14 weeks (15 if Punchline ends up on comiXology) since that’s what I brought home. I also plan to have the three interviews I did while attending up by the end of the week, and then it’s back to work on the video review. I need a better option until I can get my video editor working on my computer.

Over at The Clutter Reports this week I looked at T-Wrecks, one of the other Dinobot teams you only know if you collected the toys and convention comics during the Beast Machines period.

As far as the comic reviews this week my Robotech comics are arranged like my Star Trek comics so series may be split up to fit properly in their time period. So Antarctic Press’ Robotech comic (the main title, not the miniseries like Covert Ops) will have the first story arc this week in the timeline while future arcs will be scattered in my collection. I forgot to mention last week that I was starting The Pirates Of Dark Water but I only have a few issues so this will be very short. I’m not even sure why I didn’t finish the adaptation while I wasn’t prepared for the original series.

With a family gathering coming up this week plus that video I plan to be a bit lite this week in the feature article department. Hopefully it will be the last time for awhile and nothing else will go wron……………………………………….

BW’s Free Comic Book Day 2019

In a rarity for me I only missed one comic. Legends Of Superheroes in Oakville, CT was only out on Punchline by the time I got there. Disappointing but missing one comic is pretty much a win for me. All the other comics were ready to go.

Unlike previous years when I would live-tweet the comic as I went through it this year I only put out my final opinion on the comic due to time. I managed to snag a trio of interviews which ate up a lot of my day getting. I even received a really cool print as a thank you from one of the interviewees that I really want to find a good frame for. It’s going to be easier for me to just post the tweets below of each of the comics, so it’s a bit truncated this year by necessity. Still, here’s what I came home with for Free Comic Book Day and my thoughts on them.

BW Approved Kickstarter: Cybertronic Spree’s First Album

A long time ago I brought you the amazing music of Cybertronic Spree, a band cosplaying as Transformers sharing their love of 80s rock and the soundtrack to Transformers: The Movie and a few other shows. Well now they have a Kickstarter to put out their first physical album, a tribute to that movie soundtrack. If I had the money I would totally be backing it because I wouldn’t mind having it in my collection. However, I can at least convince you to make it part of yours.
