1000 posts!!!

 By Mark Rodriguez

So we finally made it to 1000 posts! Thanks for reading my random reviews that range from modern day comics to older classics, mainstream and indies.

 

A lot has changed since the old blog started. A lot of if was moving to a new location which would lead to me getting married and eventually getting a house. I was glad to be able to return to Vegas to meet the old gang. Johnny visits me once a year no matter where I live, but I haven't been over to see the rest of the crew since 2019. Had I known, I would have visited that February, one month before the pandemic would hit and change everything.

Another semi-recent change was also discovering Hipcomic and being able to find and purchase several old comics I used to read as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's. I also found more issues of the Top Cow Tomb Raider comics and also completed the Power Girl run. On other news, we finally got a PS5 (before the price would go up even higher) and thanks to the return of AJ Lee, we also got back into WWE. Somewhat. The fact that those 'Premium Live Events' are free since we own that Disney Plus/ESPN package helps a lot.


Here's to another 1000 posts! What other comics, games or whatever else will we review next? Will I ever complete the full Top Cow Tomb Raider run? Will Hipcomic continue to get a third of my paycheck? Will Wendy and I personally pay the Third Eye girls' way through college? We'll find out together!!

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...

Dragonball Super manga Volume 5 (Chapter 28)

 By Mark Rodriguez The crew resumes regular life after the events of the Goku Black arc. Goku is living his regular life and working as a farmer. Vegeta is training with Whis and learning to contain the Super Saiyan Blue within himself similar to what Goku did earlier. Bulma is now pregnant with her second child. Goku remembers the Universal Tournament that Zeno, the Lord of Everything, wanted to do someday. Despite the warnings of how dangerous and unpredictable Zeno Sama can be, Goku activates the button he was given and is warped away to see him. What will happen now? Chapter 28- The Gods of Destruction from all 12 Universes On Beerus' planet, the Oracle Fish asks where Goku went. Lord Whis tells him that he want to see Zeno Sama. Beerus says this is horrible and wonders who let Goku meet him to begin with. Whis reminds him that he showed up thanks to the tournament he held with his brother Champa. Beerus sees that it was his fault. On Zeno's planet, the two Zenos are playin...

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...
