Awesome Covers: She-Hulks #2

She-Hulk and She-Hulk battling super powered apes? Why haven't you bought this yet!?

But seriously, this cover is great, depicting both She-Hulks locked in combat with Red Ghost's 'Super Apes' as he watches on menacingly. That concept alone sounds more like it belongs in the Silver Age. And I LOVE IT! This is my favorite kind of cover, one that evokes exactly what people expect in a comic.

As for the story inside? I am loving this series. The artwork is fantastic, the characters are fun and despite basically calling him out as a lame villain, they actually make The Wizard seem pretty damn awesome; he actually manages to blackmail THE HULK!

By what I've seen, we can expect more Awesome Covers from the Hulk Girls.

...Oh, you probably want to know why there is two of them.

Well, one is Jeniffer Walters, cousin of the Incredible Hulk who is also a lawyer. The younger one with red hair is Lyra, a girl from the future who was grown with Hulk DNA. They fight crime.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game.

An 8-Bit Epic of Epic Epicness.


It's no secret that I think Scott Pilgrim is awesome. I haven't read the comics and don't really plan to. I saw the movie first and thought it was the most epic thing I had ever seen. If I read the comics, I'm going to get all whiny about how they did it wrong.

However we also have this game that was released alongside the film. The game however is moreso based on the comics, which I do actually know a fair bit about. And let me tell you, this game is BAD!

ASS!

I want an arcade machine of this thing! It adapts the source material in what is probably the only way to do it justice.

You can choose to play as Scott, Ramona, Kim or Stephen, each with unique attacks and special attacks. You can also summon Knives to come in and give you a hand, or play as her, but shes a seperafe download. The game is a retro arcade brawler, having you march down the street pulverising thugs into dust with your fists and throwing stuff at them, and I have really begun envying the people of teh early nineties because this was a NORMAL game back then. It is adictive as all hell.

The game is split up into about seven parts (I haven't technically finished it). In each part you fight against enemies and head down the area until you meet the current Evil Ex and beat the life out of them. It gets a little odd around 5 and 6, who are brothers who work close togethor. In the fifth level you fight a series of robots built by them, and with Gideon you fight multiple forms of him.

Perhaps a slightly cooler thing about the game is when you recognise background characters. Even though I haven't read the comics, I smiled the instant I noticed Julie, Wallace, Other Scott and Stacey. Amazing considering I hardly knew what their Manga-style forms looked like.

So basically, its a great game that you should get. And yes I know I'm late on the bandwagon, but I needed to write SOMETHING to prove I'm not dead.

Power Rangers Survey 31: Favorite Weapon.

Yes, that's right, I'm going with the extra one. I'd like to go with Tommy's dagger flute, which is always going to be classic. But in all honesty, I've gotta say my eye has recently been caught by one of the newest weapons in the series, which I like to call the WHOABIGSWORD!


My second choice would be Zach and Adam's Power Axe.

It's an Axe that transforms into a gun! That is like...a hundred other weapons in this series. But what do all these weapons have in common aside from that function? They are all AWESOME!

Power Rangers Survey 30: Favorite Finale.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, we are finally here. Finally I have completed this goddamn survey and can do something else with my time. BTW, I don't think Postively Dreadful part 2 is coming out, sorry (Seriously, I am sorry, I just can't seem to complete it).

And the climatic ending to this thirty part epic is...Countdown to Destruction...which I already talked about last time...awkward. How about instead I talk about why I like the movie?



A lot of fans like to pretend the movie never happened because it wasn't very good and full of cliches. But by the standards of at least early power rangers, it was excellent! Most people also believe that it takes place in an alternate dimension, and I can easily see why, but I can't really watch it and think that. Yeah, the bad guys have a pig and are missing Squatt and Baboo, and obviously the film ends with complete contradiction to the actual series canon, as well as multiple other contradictions such as Zordon actually being inside the tube.

But you know what? I find it really hard to care, because it's fun. In fact the only true complaint that I can think of is that the film didn't have Jason, Trini and Zach, and that is almost completely unavoidable. Oh, and the zord fights were a little choppy, but I still thought they were fun.

Also, Ivan Ooze is actually pretty funny if your into that with your super villains.

Power Rangers Survey 29: Favorite Story Arc/Episode.

An excellent question actually. How about I tell you my favorite epiodeS? Well, that I can remember. Keep in mind these are ones that I have seen, and despite being a big fan, I haven't actually seen that many over the whole series. I may also not know the right names.

Day of the Dumpster: The original, the episode that started it all. Not exactly the classic I remembered as a kid, but by god it's still a ton of fun. It's got all the essentials, namely fighting, Bulk and Skull and Zords. All of these can be found in almost every episode. This is why I lvoed Migty Morphin.

White Light: The first appearance of the White Ranger. To be honest I saw this on the Best of Power Rangers DVD, but I still enjoyed it regardless of continuity. Of course it isn't perfect, for one, the Zord fight is incredibly lackluster, what with the monster of the week, Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel and his sidekicks AC and DC looking completely non threatening and being poorly edited in to look like the Rangers are fighting it. And even though the majority of my love for the series is based around status quo, I have to say the image of Tommy descending in the suit is incredibly badass.

Countdown to Destruction: Even a Status Quo Nazi like myself cannot help but find this episode awesome. We should have had more of Bulk and Skull fighting.
