Is it me, or has Mayir managed to sliver back into the forum...

[Flesh]

The progs in really, really fine form right now with only Flesh dragging it's heals like a crying infant refusing to progress the plot in any way.

For the longest time Go Nagai and Ishinomori did have the monopoly on cape manga, yeah. Interestingly both creators seemed keen on a shared universe attitude, hence 009 making appearances in Skullman, and Devilman and Cutie Honey teaming up on occasion.

Oh, and Devilman is something really, REALLY special. I know theres some kind of archive out there for a semi-official translation but what I wouldn't give to have a few big, thick omnibus editions with the colour pages included. Gorgeous!

[Exterminator 2]

Exterminator 2 is the 1984, Canon film sequel to the 1980 grindhouse fan favorite, The Exterminator. And, if like me you came into the sequel expecting more of the 42nd street type sleaze the original is famous for, you wont be disappointing. Considerably lower budget not withstanding, you can't be angry at a movie with a makeshift garbage truck come home made tank mowing down droves of street thugs whilst Patrick Ginty (Mr. Coke Lite of RLM fame) takes a flamethrowers to two dozen of them. Brainless, senseless, silly ad overly violent but that what I paid to see.

What and age we live in where stuff like THIS and The Guyver get blu-ray releases.

I'm sorry Sharky but that article is the biggest load of bollocks i've read all week.

To be honest, we're really spoiled for great alternative superhero comics right now, it's just not from the usual suspects. Mudman and Jack Staff can be read on a constant loop until they come out of hiatus, Savage Dragon and Invincible continue to provide consistently high quality issues, Black Hammer is just the damnedest thing, Badger looks like he'll be heading our way again next year, as well as a new Empowered volume. Plus collections of Copra, Henchgirl, Strong Female Protagonist, Gemini, Ultraman, and One-Punch Man heading our way soon.

Oh, and My Hero Academia. Can't emphasis how good this is right now, this weeks issue was basically a break down of multiple personality disorders. Yeah.

Yes, absolutely. Though Mudman never reached the dizzying highest Jack Staff did I put that down to the fact we only have 6 issues of the glorious thing. Wonderful comic.

Ha! Mind if I spread that about social media, know some folk who would love that!

It was my understanding McCrea's upcoming project was written by Wagner for the prog. Maybe I misunderstood.

It was already on fire when I got there, honest.

Not that one, the other thing. I already know rabbits caused THAT fire.

Well I think thats a good indication of just how far right Dave has driven himself.

Been working on mine today and I'll warn you, it's ridiculous!
