100 posts!! Thanks for reading!!

By Mark Rodriguez

Wow, 100 posts already! Since I've been trying hard to crank out new stuff everyday, that's almost 100 days of thoughts and reviews! I do notice there have been people reading the articles and I really appreciate it you guys. Here's to another 100 posts! I'd like to take these milestones as moments to reflect on any news, updates, and other things on my mind on this particular day.

As for my current thoughts and opinions of the moment, I have several, especially since we have a lot of news and updates in the world of fighting games and such.

Terry Bogard- This might be his year. Not only will he cameo in Fighting Layer EX as a guest character, he'll also appear in SNK Gals Tag Team Frenzy, but transformed into a girl, with not even Terry knowing how it happened!

I also dyed my ponytail blonde to cosplay as Terry (the OG male version) at the upcoming Shine Con Las Vegas.

Evo announcements- Other than the Bogard announcement, base form Goku and Vegeta have been announced for Dragonball Fighter Z, Cooler is also announced! And that is just plain cool! G and Sagat were announced for SF5 and released the very next day! And the most unexpected thing was NEGAN from The Walking Dead is going to appear in Tekken 7! Lucille is gonna get fed!

Goodbye Toys R Us- The store where I first got my classic NES, and where I kept up with my TMNT collection over the years. It finally closed, though the website does say something to the effect of 'stay tuned til the next chapter'. It's a piece of my childhood, as it is for many others, and I never did to buy one of those 'I'm a Toys R Us Kid' shirts. The last thing I ever bought from there were Toys R Us exclusive Ryu and Ken Funko Pops in fighting poses. A friend of mine revealed that Toys R Us is still active in Korea though....



In similar news, Alaska is finally closing down the last existing Blockbuster Video Stores that they have been keeping open for years despite them being gone everywhere else.

Nerd Block has still not announced its full return. They promised a day with updates but nothing new was announced.

VGM- Episode 87 just hit Youtube as I reviewed Pit-Fighter. Last episode before I dyed my hair. The first video to show it off is my July 2018 Lootcrate Unboxing video over at The Unboxing Zone channel.



Las Vegas- As for me, I am mere days away from flying out to Las Vegas to meet up with my bro as well as the rest of the gang like PikaChika, Lan Moore and WickaDarco. This'll be fun and I can't wait!

That's it for now guys, but thanks for coming back to check up on new posts everyday. More stories are coming as I'll be covering the first Megaman and Sonic crossover from Archie comics!

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 ...
