I’ve always known Good Vibrations was a catchy banger, but I didn’t learn until recently how much it influenced and inspired Wilson’s contemporaries at the time. Like, even the Beatles were like “holy shit, we gotta step it up”

Predator:Killer of Killers. Animated film. A viking, a ninja, and a WWII era pilot all defeat Predators in three separate short stories. Their rewards for victory are to be put in suspended animation and taken to the Yautja homeworld where they are forced to fight each other to the death. And the vi...

Here’s some more recent DC back issues. Outsiders 2, 9-11. Jace Fox aka Batwing recruited Batwoman and a woman called Drummer to explore the “mysteries of the DCU” (whatever the fuck that means). This was a 12 issue maxi series that only made it to issue 11. Drummer turns out to be Jakita Wagner fro...

Battle of Jakku TPB. It was pretty good. But, then again, I've read/played/watched most of what leads up to it. Current Lucasfilm is really getting worse about new stories that take place concurrently to existing stories leaning way too hard on those stories. Which is fine in some media (like video...

Time to rewatch Band of Brothers.

Rewatched it last week.

Happy D-Day, Bitches!

Punch a Nazi. They’re everywhere.

This week’s books. Absolute Superman 8. While revisiting Smallville, Kal is confronted by Lois Lane from Lazarus and Jimmy Olsen from the Omega Men. Both are trying to recruit him. Then the Peacemakers show up and Peacemaker Smith shoots Kal with a kryptonite bullet. Lois and Jimmy are forced to wor...

Just thought of some more characters that deserve Timeless covers.

Alpha Flight.

Characters who should also be getting Alex Ross timeless variants, but thus far have not. 1. Hawkeye 2. Vision 3. Frank Castle Those three definitely because they’re in the fucking mural Marvel commissioned from Ross that’s in their HQ. 4. Quicksilver. If Wanda gets one, her brother should. 5. Luke...

Here’s last week’s books the day before this week’s books drop. Absolute Wonder Woman 8. Diana does a ritual in the forest and blesses the trees amd they turn into a new HQ for her called the Hieron. She makes everyone some tea. Meanwhile, Veronica Cale and Dr. Poison(who is just a mass of poison ga...

I saw a Gears figure the other day, and thought he’d go with the other updated figures I have(that are themselves probably pushing 15-20 years old at this point) but then I saw he was goddamn $30. Uh no thank you. Also, a lot of the other TFs I see on shelves look like they have about three steps to...

Some more Star Wars reading. I got about halfway thru this particular read pile. After I catch up on this week’s current reads, I’ll finish the rest. Han Solo & Chewbacca 1-10. Set a year of two before ANH, Han and Chewie are given a job by Jabba to recover an Urn of some value. Greedo goes with...

Marvel and DC are teaming up for the first time since 2003’s JLA/Avengers crossover to bring the us two oneshots(and I’m assuming like 330 variant covers between the two issues) starring Deadpool and Batman. Part of me is eyerolling at the crass, obvious money grab. But hopefully it will lead to oth...

While watching Rise I realized it has risen to the level of Spider-Man 3 and Batman&Robin as movies I loathe.

The entire sequel trilogy needs to be mulligan’d.

The ‘D’ box Dazzler 1-4. After Krakoa, Dazzler is going on a world tour with 24 concerts. Strong Guy is her roadie, Domino is her head of security, Shark Girl is her drummer, Wind Dancer is her PR person, etc. After she’s attacked by a saboteur at the opening stop on the tour in LA, like 15 of the s...
