Awesome Covers: Guarding the Globe #2


A monstrous and menacing octopus monster recieves a continual series of I AM A MAN punches from an entire team of superheroes. What's not to love?

In any other case, this cover looks great. All the heroes diving after Octoboss looks badass, and it's drawn brilliantly. This is the sort of thing that will make me pic up a comic book.

The Guarding the Globe miniseries is a spin-off from Invincible. Since the titular hero has recently left Earth to fight the Viltrumite Empire, the guys working behind the famous team Guardians of the Globe decide they need to start recruiting and expand the team into a Global operation (it ironically has focussed on America the past few years).

The series is cool, with Kirkman's trademark awesomeness and great artwork. I have to give him a hand, an Invincible film or cartoon is well deserved.

Though of course the series would be oddly violent for a superhero cartoon. Even though the Invincible series is mostly light hearted, the violence is pretty strong.

Announcement of a Miracle.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We live in a strange world. A world wrought with evil and pain. But it is not a world of complete horror, as sometimes, albiet rarely, it is host to special miracles. These miracles come in many different forms, sometimes they are so well hidden, we actually have strong distate for them, until we realise they are in fact a miracle. That is not the case here. Sometimes unexpected things happen, and when they do, you have no choice but to question their existance, and refuse to acknowledge them until the proof is undeniable. That has happened today.



It's out! The first episode of the new Emo Rangers is out! Holy crap, I thought he was just taking the piss! My god!

So how does Episode 1, Weed Better Sober Up, hold up? Who the hell cares, it exists! Okay, well the qaulity has increased tenfold, the CGI is pretty damn good, and the fight scenes are alright.
However, don't expect anything too good, the voice acting could be much better, the fairly short length of eight minutes leaves the whole episode appear rushed, so the actual non-parody jokes don't really get the chance to give much of an impact, though it did give us this little gem.

All the cool kids do drugs, and you don't do drugs, so you're not cool.

But I personally didn't expect the highest quality ever, and the opening was enough to convince me that this was awesome, so there you go.

On a whole I'd say, Hell Yeah, and Welcome Back.
