Danger Girl # 1 (1998)

 By Mark Rodriguez Danger Girl is another one of those series from the late 90's/early 2000's that I only heard about from Wizard magazine, similar to Witchblade, Gen 13 and the Tomb Raider comics. I finally got my hands on the first issue, so let's see what adventures these super spies get themselves into. "Dangerously Yours" opens with a 'previously on Danger Girl' that explains that Abbey Chase snuck into the Costa Rican lair of known criminal Donavin Conrad to steal the Golden Skull of Koo Koo Diego. Donavin managed to capture her and get the skull first and Abbey used an explosion as a distraction to escape and continue to pursue him. The Danger Girls are on the way to get her. Abbey stole a jeep and in trying to escape her captors she ended up driving off a cliff.  Elsewhere in the Bahamas, a man is relaxing an talking through a modified coconut phone as he hears of an explosion in the area that the Danger Girls were in. The man assures him that the...

NickToons TMNT Episode 27- The Mutation Situation

 By Mark Rodriguez So I already reviewed episodes 25 and 26 that were aired as an hour as a 'Booyaka Showdown' season finale. Here is the link for that one before we jump into our thoughts of episode 26.  NickToons TMNT Eps 25 and 26 Review   Originally written on Saturday, October 12, 2013. Keep in mind, these were our thoughts as they were back in 2013 when the show was new and was written shortly after seeing the episodes after their initial broadcast. At the time we had zero way of knowing what to expect. The Turtles return for a second season of more wild wacky fun and adventure. Unlike the season opener Rise of the Turtles, this was actually a one-part episode, but even so it felt like so much happens in this one. Let's check it out.   The season opens with the Turtles skateboarding across the nightly skies, patting themselves on the back over their victory at the end of 'Showdown'. Mikey brags about stopping a cheese monster, that never really happened, b...

 By Mark Rodriguez Last time, Krang sent Bebop to steal gold bars at the same time that Old Hob tried to steal them. The Turtles thwarted their plans but during the fight, Hob learned that Bebop works with people that have access to dimensional portals. Later on, Hob shows up at Krang's hideout and wants to know more.   "Genie in a Bauble, Baby" opens in the Turtles' Sewer Lair as Master Splinter is trying to meditate. He then hears several crashing sounds and one of the Turtles is yelling at Michaelangelo. Splinter goes to investigate and notices a foul smell.

Comic Book Stash 2/7/2025

By Mark Rodriguez We haven't hit the comic shop in almost a month so the comics have really piled up. We knew we just had to hit Third Eye Comics this week no matter what or the stack would have gotten even higher. Somehow we also missed an issue. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 6 - The Turtles' adventures continue now that the gang has gotten back together. If they can even get a long anymore. TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures # 21- Raph and Casey run into each other and face off against Rudolph Cobrato, that one snake bad guy from 'Snakes Alive', where Leo had to overcome his fear of snakes. Somehow I missed issue 20. I'll have to track that down. Black Canary- Best of the Best # 3- The fight between Black Canary and Lady Shiva continues. TMNT/Naruto # 2- There seems to have been a delay between the first issue and this one. The unlikely crossover between an indie comic and manga continues. The Spectacular Spider-Men # 12- Things gets bad for the Spiders when the...

Nicktoons TMNT Episode 24 Operation Break Out

By Mark Rodriguez Originally written on Saturday 7/20/2013. Keep in mind, these were our thoughts as they were back in 2013 when the show was new and was written shortly after seeing the episodes after their initial broadcast. At the time we had zero way of knowing what to expect. I was finally able to watch this thanks to some friends. I missed the original airing due to us being at the Steel City Con (oooh yeah!!!). First thing I have to say, if you already seen our video on the TMNT season finale trailer is that Paige totally called it. Even so this episode still has several surprises.   'Operation Break Out' begins with Raph and Don about to spar. Raph says he'll go easy on him, but Don wants to impress April and says maybe he'll be the one going easy on him. At first it looks like Don took Raph down, but Raph gets up and hooks Don's hand with the prongs of his sai and treats him like a puppet. Splinter says it's enough. Later on, Don is angry that Raph ...
