And the beat(ing) moves on. We’re still in the “Boxer name” phase of the Friday Night Fights, with each Prize Fight (as they were now called, and for a while actually included a prize for the winner) tied to the boxer or one of his more legendary fights. This installment of my favorite of my entries will see the fists of Marvin Hagler, Joey Maxim, and Roberto Durán Samaniego. So let’s get right to the battlefield!

No colorist because Academy Comics made black and white comics. This series takes place during the 10 years of studying Robotechnology and getting the SDF-1 spaceworthy in case the creators came back and weren’t very nice. It began with Malibu Comics under their “Eternity” imprint and Academy continued the numbering when they took over at issue #13. While Academy did produce their own series and one-shots set in the Robotech universe (we’ll be seeing one previewed on the other side of this very comic) before losing the license we’ll see this again with The Sentinels and Aftermath.

This miniseries tells a tale of the Zentraedi group led by Breetai, initially sent to find the lost battlefortress Zor sent away, but in this story will be diverted from that task. First I’ll review the main story though.
This seems to be the week for geek-related movie trailers, isn’t it?
Okay, interesting to see Disney hating on their own Princesses, the same kind of product placement that was one of the many complaints against The Emoji Movie , and yet somehow this still looks interesting. Maybe because the first movie was so good?
“My hat was in that helicopter.”
I’m going to have to hold my review of the first episode of the Big Hero 6 series until next week. I want to talk about this.
I know I had surprisingly little to say about the Transformers Bumblebee movie trailer and yet enough to say here, but that’s building off of a current series. I’m basically going over the differences with the new director and setting. Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse is something different. It’s the first animated Spider-Man movie that I can recall, although he’s had numerous TV series and appearances, and it’s going to the big screen while utilizing not just Peter but Miles Morales. It’s something of a bigger deal.
Yesterday the trailer came out for this movie and I’m curious to see more than a bit of flashy animation of Miles running around. So let’s see what they have to offer. We already know that Miles is going to be the focus, our entry into this new incarnation. How is that going to work?
We’re actually past the point where I started doing reviews of this series when it came out. Most of what you’ll see is copy & pasted from that original review, but I’ve updated it for additional thoughts on what’s now an old comic.

Note that there’s a warning on this comic, “not suggested for children under 13”. I never did check the previous issues to see if this is new.

Charles Addams’ one-panel comic strip has seen numerous live-action and animated translations. However, the animated ones have only been on television…until now. Work is being done on an animated Addams Family CG movie. Of course they’re going with a celebrity cast rather than voice actors because of the name and publicity, so I only hope they found actors who can voice act. It’s a whole new game you know.
