The Superior Spider-Man # 1 (2023)

 By Mark Rodriguez Back in 2013 we had the story where Doctor Octopus switched his dying body with that of Peter Parker. For a while Octavius became the Super Spider-Man, fighting the bad guys his way, but eventually Peter got his body back. Now the Superior Spider-Man has somehow returned. Let's see what brings him back a decade later. Before we begin, the preface explains that Peter Parker got to live in a reality where Uncle Ben lived. Upon returning, he regained his memories and a new sidekick called Spider-Boy that claims to have always been around. Meanwhile, Doc Ock has hazy memories of his time as the Superior Spider-Man. When he ran into one of his older experiments, he accidentally released a super villain he captured when he was the Superior Spider-Man. Due to this, the villain is now seeking revenge against Spider-Man instead of Doc Ock. 'Mistaken Identity Crisis' starts in New York City where a criminal named Mirage robbed a jewelry store. The villain has the

Red Sonja: The Price of Blood Issue One review

 By Mark Rodriguez Upon checking out Third Eye Comics, they had a 'Fun Box' full of 25 mystery comics and some graphic novels. We got an interesting assortment of Marvel, DC and indie stuff, but one of the comics that stood out to me was this Red Sonja comic. Let's have a look. The issue opens with Sonja being trapped in some sort of prison with a crazy laughing inmate. Sonja tells him to stop gawking at her. The man tells her he doesn't see many women and the last woman that was locked up kept bashing her head against the wall until she died. Sonja says she can wipe the smile off his face and he says he doubts she can. She kicks him in the face. A third inmate named Bamba says he's been wanting to do that for a long time.  Bamba wants to hear Sonja's tale and she refuses. He tells her they're trapped and will only be set free to be sent to the gallows where they will face their death. He'd rather spend the last hours of his life listening to a beautiful

Mark and Jupi Review Ring of Honor Ep 38 11/16/2023 (Women's Matches)

 By Mark Rodriguez This time we got several ladies 'In Action', namely Athena and Billie Starkz in tag team action, Emi Sakura and Marina Shafir in singles action. We've seen in previous episodes where the women still bring the action regardless of them being in jobber matches. Let's check it out. Match 1- Emi Sakura VS Kel The match opens with Kel getting in Emi's face, showing off the huge height different between then. Emi acts like she'll try to do a test of strength, but her hits her in the stomach. She then trips her up and wastes no time getting Kel into the High Stretch Surfboard. Kel starts smacking Emi around until the veteran gouges her eyes and tries to grab her for the Butterfly Backbreaker. Kel grabs Emi and kicks her in the face with a Fall-Away Kick, and then knocks her back with a Thrust Kick. She goes for the pin but Emi kicks out. Kel poses for the crowd and runs towards Emi. Emi gets out of the way and Kel gets her leg stuck on the ropes. Emi

White Widow # 1

 By Mark Rodriguez I was browsing through the comic book websites while catching up on the Ninja Turtles comics and decided to see if Marvel or DC had any jumping on points. I saw that White Widow # 1 was out that particular Wednesday so I decided to head over to Third Eye Comics and pick it up. It seems to follow the adventures of Yelena, so let's check it out. There were lots of variant covers, it was hard to pick one. I chose this one because it was the one I saw online and first caught my eye. Not long ago, Yelena has a man named Mr. Best tied to a chair, as she prepares to kill him. He begs for his life and offers to pay her off but it doesn't deter the White Widow. Captain America shows up to stop her. Yelena says she doesn't interrupt him in the middle of his work and Cap swings his shield at him and her assistant Marthe. Yelena flips out of the way and Marthe accidentally cracks her hand against a window. Cap tells Yelena that Maxissimo is an intelligence asset for

TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures Continued # 5

 By Mark Rodriguez The Turtles found out that Shredder and Krang sent some sort of item from Dimension X to the Florida swamps. Donatello and Raphael went to check it out with the Punk Frogs, Attila and Rasputin and ran into Leatherhead. In the meantime Genghis and Napoleon join Leonardo and Michealangelo on their own adventure.  Genghis and Napoleon arrive in New York and Splinter says he appreciates them coming to help. Napoleon says they used their friend's Shep's pick up truck to drive over and asks why they didn't just ask them to look for Shredder's device in the swamp. Leonardo says that Donatello felt he could use his tech to find it faster and Raphael went with him to help with the drive. Leonardo asks the crew if they want to go on patrol. The Turtles and Frogs patrol the city in the Turtle Blimp. Leonardo tells them that they might not find the Shredder, but the city has other dangers. They are spotted by the mutant fly, Baxter Stockman, who finds it lucky to
