Sultry Teenage Super-Foxes #1

Kind of self-explanatory, isn't it?

Another text-recap turned into video!

VLOG: 3-26-09

Wherein I talk about a video game series instead of a comic book series.

Amazons Attack #5 and #6

Well, in the end the Amazons did in fact attack, so I guess the comic did what it promised.

What's this? ANOTHER podcast?

Yes, and this time I do discuss my videos! In this one, I go onto Dumpster Tech and we check out Tech in comics and digital distribution!

Check it out here!

Sometimes I really love my fans

Especially when they give me more detailed information about just how incredibly stupid Amazons Attack is. In this case, Tim Ellrod was kind enough to let me post this e-mail explaining just how remarkably idiotic not only the Amazons catching up to Air Force one was, but also the bomb that malfunctioned:

I have to say that when you said that the worst was yet to come, I didn't really know what you meant, and I'd pretty much thought that it would just be more of the same.

I was wrong.

While the physics and science in the first two issues was annoying, the problems in these two issues...where do I start?

Air Force One has a cruising speed of about 575 miles per hour (this from some very cursory research), so those Pegasi (Pegasuses...?) have got to be on PCP or something. Additionally, that sucker is flying at an altitude of around 30,000 feet above ground, so the Amazons and their Pegas...damn, now I know why you just went with "flying horses". Anyway, the Amazons and their steeds probably couldn't even breathe at that height, much less catch up to a plane traveling at 84% of the speed of sound.

This isn't the worst, though. No, no. The worst has got to be the high-tech bomb at the nuclear power plant, and how Green Arrow says that if it had gone off by the reactor, it would have reduced Star City to a green crater for thousands of years. Bull. Crap. A fission reactor is not a fission bomb. A fission bomb needs highly refined "weapons grade" Uranium, which will have a purity of about 95% U-235. A fission reactor on the other hand, doesn't need weapons grade stuff, so it'll generally have about 5% U-235. Sticking a friggin' hand grenade next to a fission reactor will not cause it to become an A-Bomb!

On a side note, the comic makes this big thing of the Bana using high-tech weapons, while the Amazons do not. Are they even supposed to be super-advanced like that? From the brief summary you gave, it just seemed like they were a slightly different group of Amazons.

Oh, and as it happens, Batman's bee line gave me the distinct impresion that he's not apathetic, but that he knows how ridiculous things have gotten. "Bees. My God." sounded a lot like "Bees. *shakes head* You've got to be #@%&ing kidding me." I'm not joking; that's really what it looked like when I read it.

Also...

Not-Bush: "A relic of the Cold War. Allows arrest of suspicious individuals. Provides for deportation. Imprisonment. Camps. ...the people need to know they're safe. Secure. They need to know that someone strong and capable is looking out for them. Implement the order. Now. There's no other way to save the country."

Are we sure this comic wasn't co-written by Michael Moore?

Besides, all this boldface type is reminding me of another, much funnier comic, a comic about Gotham City, and it's filthy crime-ridden streets crawling with corrupt cops and whores. Crawling with them.

I enjoyed that comic so much more than this one...

Not-Bush's plan is made even stupider when you realize that it doesn't even fit into the comic. The writers are literally bending the story just to wedge this anti-Bush "subtext" into it. If a group of armored warriors arrived in D.C., the most logical course of action is to attack them. How on Earth is arresting "suspicious individuals" going to help? Besides, it should be pretty clear when someone is an Amazon, what with all the armor and sharp weapons. You shouldn't get that many unjust arrests on this one.

Finally, on the poll, while Supergirl and Wonder Girl are acting like idiots, the dumbest plot I have yet seen is still the Church of Humanity's plan. Basically each step of that plan was stupid, from Nightcrawler going right from "low-ranking priest" to pope, to the "false rapture" element.

Sincerely,
-Dick Grayson, age twe-...erm...Tim.

Oh dear lord do I love my fans. ^^

Podcast Interview... but not about my videos

Hey, folks! Long-time readers of my blog may also recall that webcomic I write and drew, but did you know I'm also a contributing writer of a crossover comic that spun out of it?

Well, Webcomic Beacon didn't, so they had me and three other writers/artists for Crossoverlord appear in their podcast! While it's not about my videos, hopefully you'll enjoy it:

Amazons Attack #3 and #4

Issue 4 is titled "Things Fall Apart" and they do - my sanity, my will to live, my love for sequential art...

V for Vendetta in 5 Panels

Lost not to annuls,
These Five of all panels...

Good News, Everyone!

According to Newsarama, Blue Beetle's going to become a back-up feature in Booster Gold!

Now, the downside to this is that the price will increase since they won't be taking away pages from the main story, but then again I'm willing to pay the price for a larger amount of content.

So, for those of us who already think Booster Gold is awesome, we're going to get Blue Beetle, too!

ALSO: Titans #11 was good.

Amazons Attack #1 and #2

So, according to this comic, I could successfully storm Washington, D.C. armed with nothing more than a fork.

A Treat - the Watchmen Intro

One of the really good parts of the movie was, in fact, the intro. Very well done, IMHO, and it seems the company that created these opening credits was kind enough to post them online. As such, enjoy:

Vlog 3-6-09: Watchmen, Wonder Woman, and updates

BONUS: Watchmen - the Saturday Morning Cartoon: View here!

DOUBLE FEATURE!

A special double feature since I got them both done: The Prologue to my Amazons Attack Review (starting next week) and the Spider-Man Clone Saga in 5 Panels!

NOTE: Since this isn't really a review, it's more informative than comedic, so don't expect as many jokes throughout.
