Ponderings

I have to wonder. Could I have formed a murder cult at the age of eight? I don't think I could have. I was too busy protecting America from the combined threat of Cobra Commander and Skeletor. No time to plan out escape routes and body hiding at recess when Mumra & the Mutants were prowling about. Thats the problem with the world today. Not enough afternoon cartoons shilling toys and sugar to distract kids from their dark, murderous hearts. We've lost our core values people! And who suffers? The children! Them and the people they plot to murder. BUT MOSTLY THE CHILDREN!

Hell. Yes.

New Comics Day 4/2

A late post thanks to going to a movie with the folks. Sleepy. But before exhaustion, comics!

Starting with the finale to volume 3 of Damage Control I forgot to grab last week. And while I would like to see more done with the previous "evil" owners of DC and their responsibility for Stamford, thats probably a bit to dark for what is McDuffie's mostly light humor book. Oh well. On the other hand I do get to see the Chrysler Building beat up the main cast of all three Avengers titles...

PS238 concludes its Las Vegas story arc with a student battle against a group of card cheats. Also Julie is tied with Tyler and Zodon for favorite student. Zodon was losing a bit of ground, but the off-hand way he dealt with the Praetorian Academy goons who've been stalking him? Awesome!

Next its the 2nd to last issue of the Metal Men series. With still more cross-time hijinks. Plus bad robots doing good to stop good robots doing bad who are controlled by bad robots doing bad. *thinks* Yeah, thats the way the fight went...

Over in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, no Slayer-on-Slayer smexing. But plenty of Dracula. Plus Willow grilling Satsu on what Buffy is like in bed. Yay!

And in Angel: After the Fall they break from the Champion Brawl to show how the main cast beyond Angel handled the big drop into Hell. Plus telepathic giant fish! I like Spike's reaction to surviving his SECOND Final Ultimate Fight of Ultimate Doom...

Then we go to Image and Casanova. Where some dead people aren't dead. And some bad guys reveal their plan. Or what they say is their plan. I wouldn't trust them. I mean they're evil, crazy, monstrous bad guys. Also Cass and Zephyr's dad? Robot bigot. A.I.s are people too you jerk!

And some more Jack Staff. Also with the Druid. And Zipper Nolan. Oh and some Vampire Hunters. And a Vampire Reporter. And another talking fish! Its talking fish week!

Finishing up with Brit. Where some odd time travel hi-jinks are going on to start. And Britney (Brit's sister - who names their kids Britney and Brittany?) fights pseudo-Deadpool (I think the character HAS a name but I don't feel like looking it up). No better name. Extra Non Sequiter Deadpool! Though I don't know if even Wade would call a kick attack Punt the Baby Maker...
