Welcome to the new Blog of Epic Randomness!!

By Mark Rodriguez

Hey guys, this is Mark Rodriguez! This is new (and maybe improved?) version of the Blog of Epic Randomness! I decided it was time for something new, and like many comic book reboots, maybe a fresh new start can also bring in new readers. Can people still do blogs that can gain a following in 2018? Let's check it out!!

So the blog will mostly rely on comic reviews or other random news regarding nerdy stuff and pop culture. I did try to keep up with on-going comics but eventually lost the battle. While I might catch a number 1 or so the next time there's some big comic book event, I won't be able to keep up with a long on-going series like the IDW TMNT and able to crank out a review the same week the newest issue it out. Instead I'll focus on older and classic comics here and there or rare comics or past events. Random fun stuff.

As for the old blog, it shall remain for your reading pleasure. Some of these blog articles are just impossible recreate, and some of them are based on certain events that are so time specific, it just feels outdated. Stuff like when Lani Minella actually responded to a Nancy Drew article, or when the developers behind my review of WWE Immortals also responded, or the whole Meowbox.net and Meowbox.com situation from back then will remain to be read in the old blog.

Anyways, like many reboots and whatnot, this should be fun.

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...

Arachna# 1 Review Spoilers

By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me. With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy. The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...
