It is the second "J month of 2025"

 Hey there all,                                                                                                               As you have all seen of late,  I have been having a long amount of time since I have been posting a whole lot of interesting things but at the same time I realize that even though I can't always be posting something new everyday like I was trying to back in two thousand and twelve and maybe also around two twenty twenty one. Yet of late I have been thinking of something really special for this month of June for at least trying... and I know that later for today I will be working for a friend's dad but I will try to get something out even if it will be a little late for the first day of the month. An the biggest thing is I will reveal a few things I have been wanting to for a few years now.                                     One thing that I know is that I have been wanting to talk about besides the many novels or comics that yours truly is wanting to read I have for years have been trying to decide on which of my many favorite animation series to review completely. Along with that of wanting to share these various animation series do you want me to share my own knowledge of each series in someway similar to like how I did with my top post off on the right over here about the incredible hulk television series. Maybe either way of how I will post them I will include some kind of my own history in part of knowledge of that said series as best I can.                                                                                                       Now before I give you a choice of where I would like to begin by my own cartoon choice, it is finally time for me Matt to show you what I have not for at least since February or March of two thousand twenty three that I have had on my tablet on when I was turning it on, and my main screen as well throughout that same amount of time. Then also there is my opening screens on my phone as well. So here's what has been on my tablet for close to two years of time when I go to turn it on is this of 

 the second in command of the Enterprise D and possibly a new take on the alien race from the original series episode known as "Arena". They were called the Gorn and James Kirk fought their captain of a certain ship that had destroyed a whole civilization on a planet.  An of course a top view of the aforementioned Enterprise ship. I call it Data vs the Gorn. Then when I open my tablet to where I have my apps to play games like Star Trek Timelines for years I have had this of 

 Spider-Man reading his own alternate history by John Romita Sr which would be nice. Actually there happens to be a very interesting alternate history that I believe Marvel comics would love very much, since I have recently heard that once again they have brought the original Gween Stacy back from the grave to be yet another version of herself and to torture Spider-Man fans even more with her hating him.... I will talk about what my thoughts on that are later. But yet last year after my vacation with my family overseas my phone died and I ended up getting a new phone at T-mobile store it's a A15 for better pictures and here's 

     what I have on my lock screen. This image is from Amazing Spider-Man #303 in which Spider-Man was chasing Sandman who was working for the international spy leader of the wild pack known as Sliver Sable....  and as to what I have on that phone   

on my main home screen is this a recolored version of Todd's cover Spider-Man issue 13 on that cover in a retrangle on the left bottom corner it give the title of the story which is "Subcity part one of two", with purples and greens in the webs.                                                          Now on to my possibilities of three cartoon choices I have as a way of starting this series are Warners Brothers shorts featuring the Looney Tunes characters, or Scooby-Doo where are you?, or maybe something that I have that even I haven't seen yet as well as all of you? Remember to leave something worth being watched for I don't mind finding something on YouTube if I really have too okay? 

 

The passage of a comic writer....

 Hello All,                                                                                                                      Boy this is kinda hard to find a way to start this very entry even though it is rather late posting wise on the Sunday of Memorial day weekend of twenty, twenty five, as I was working with finishing my Batman HusH review throughout today I had seen around noontime of today on one the many YouTube channels  I subscribe to had a small eight minute short about a very interesting person with in the comic industry.  The you tuber is known as Zac Joiner whose site is called Spidey dude and on his channel he has many different topics he shares about what he likes and cares about in the way of comics... but in the short I could tell he was unsure of how he wanted to talk about this very comic creator without letting his feelings show through as well.  But alas he couldn't at least not completely!                                                        It turns out that comic book writer Peter David who I have written about before here on this site has passed away... Now who is or was Peter David you asking right? He wrote for many forms of media besides comics, he wrote a bunch of Star Trek novels mostly of Star Trek the Next Generation but also some Deep Space Nine ones but at some given time he was allowed to come up with his own Fredration Star Trek known as Star Trek Titan as to how long it ran for I don't rightfully know? He also wrote for television and movies the one television series that he work on that I am definitely interested in is Babylon five,  which was officially created by comic creative Michael J  Straczynski before he started writing  Amazing Spider-Man in early two thousand and one, where Spider-Man fought an life snapping energy character  known as Morlun.                                                                     Peter David was born on September twenty third,  nineteen, fifty two in Fort Meade, Maryland to Gunter and Dalia David.  His love of comics goes as far back to when he was five years old and he read  kid type of comics of Casper the friendly ghost, and Wendy both published by Harvey comics when he went to the barbershop. He hid around that age his love of superheroes comics, from his parents. His first Marvel comic was Fantastic Four annual three, in that annual Reed Richards and Susan Storm got married. It was released in November,1965, his parents eventually let him read superhero comics and his favorite character as a child was Superman, he met his first comic professional Jack Kirby in nineteen seventy in New York.                                                        Peter got into writing because of his father Gunter who reviewed movies and at times young Peter got his thoughts shared with his dad's publishing reviews. By his early teens he felt he had lost interest in comics, but he found that by the end of his first year of college he got to pick up the giant size comic from Decetevice Comics Superman special where Superman got to fight Muhammad Ali (1978). At that same time he picked up copy of 1975's Giant size X-MEN # 1 and Uncanny X-MEN #95 which were done by a young Chris Clairemont from that time forward he wanted to write for comics. The one writer he felt always to challenge himself against is/was science fiction and fantasy author Harlan Elison.                                                                                                       The amount of comic writing by Peter is way over just characters at Marvel or Decetevice Comics,  in fact his longest written credits go to his The Incredible Hulk run which he started in nineteen eighty seven and continued non stop till nineteen ninety eight.... but was asked to return for a brief amount of time in two thousand and five for a while.  He also wrote for the Spectacular Spider-Man title and is best known for taking Peter Parker to his darker side in where as both Peter and Spider-Man delt with the death of a police officer named Jean Dewolff. In Spectacular Spider-Man # 107-110, 

 in this story Spider-Man goes on the hunt for a killer of a preacher, a judge, and a cop and even has Matt Murdock a lawyer who is more than a lawyer alone help him in catching the killer. David a year and half later with Spider-Man now Married to Mary Jane Watson had Spider-Man face that killer again in a three part story called "The Sin Eater Released" which shows how Peter Parker isn't dealing well 

   ,with his friend Dewolff death.  Which ran through Spectacular Spider-Man #134-136. Peter David also co created besides the Sin Eater for Spider-Man, he co created the Future Hulk character called the Mastro in the incredible Hulk two parter called Future Imperfect,  he co created Spider-Man 2099 in 1992. Peter David also worked at Decetevice Comics on Aquaman, Supergirl, and a team book that I don't know much about?  

   Peter David was one of the few creative people who besides Stan Lee who like a great many fans myself included, that believes Spider-Man being Married to Mary Jane Watson is a positive influence on the character of Peter Parker.  Within the last couple of decades Peter David has been having health problems and on Saturday he passed away from kidney complications... and it's sad for me to say this but he had to ask his family and friends and fans to help him with his health care payments with a Gofundme.com And Marvel had never thanked him ever for his contributions to grow their business. I know that because I am human being I care when anyone dies regardless of if they are famous or not,  and I know I will miss you Peter David.  
           

 

BATMAN HUSH

Hello comic readers of Batman,                                                                              Well where should I start with this very entry,  I mean in the past I have had plenty of chances to talk about what comics are and how they have good sides and doubtful sides of when a book takes a character whether it's a group of characters or side supportive characters have growth in them that brings a character like Bruce Wayne to life. In Batman Hush that was published in Batman individual issues of 608 through 619 that came out from 2002 through 2003. The very trade version that I read had this as a main cover

                                                              which I actually got with one my comic purchasing trips to a local comic store that is called Adventures Underground in uptown Richland Washington last December before Christmas time. The main reason why I decided to include this in my reading list of comics besides having a whole other larger copy of this story from also at Adventures Underground from around 2016 but has a entirely different cover on it, I had heard as mid October and early November that the company of Decetevice Comics is putting out a sequel that had started late April of 2025 by the same creative team of comic writer Jeph
Loeb and comic artist Jim Lee whose best work mainstream wise was X-MEN titles in the late nineteen eighties to early nineteen nineties for Marvel comics,  but is now the chief creative officer of Decetevice Comics currently.  Meanwhile Loeb before being a writer of comics, besides what he has written for Batman before see Batman the Long Halloween, Batman Dark Victory, and one I can't recall right now but connected to those two. He also wrote the Marvel line of comics series of colors. Which are seen here 

                                                           the only one that I know that I am looking for is the Captain America White.  So far I can honestly say that I can only find that one in Hardcover format, Jeph also wrote a few other Marvel comics title but I don't know if I really want those particular ones. His other things he penned was the first Teen Wolf movie in nineteen eighty seven that starred Michael J Fox as Scott Howard during his last season of his television series Family Ties.                                                                                   Yet before the beginning of this story called Hush in this BATMAN title was a four issue arc that was about because of it being so close to in real life a plotical race time, comic writers Edward Burbaker (Captain America Winter Solider at the same time  of this, and comic writer Goeff Johns  his upcoming work was Green Lantern with Ethan Van Sciver of Cyberfrog fame in the 1990's. In the story titled " DEATH WISH- FOR TWO" in Which he faces his adversity called Deadshot who is out to kill a upcoming plotical candidate in Gotham city and Deadshot decides to include Batman to who is paying him for the original job. I don't know of how I feel about this topic of sharing my plotical choices, because I don't feel it's my right to make you decide to feel the way I do. This issue of Batman is part of a bigger story arc                                 

             known as Batman BRUCE WAYNE FUGITIVE. I knew of this story but didn't decide to collect this whole arc... but I had heard a lot about Batman Hush for years and had gotten a copy of it for my nephew Bryce for a Christmas present along with a Star Wars comic trade back in 2014, as to if he loves the story I still need to ask him about it...                Right about this very same time over at Marvel with the character that I love of Spider-Man,  they had just ended the first volume of Amazing Spider-Man with issue #441 with The Final Chapter part 1 of 4... 

and ended in Peter Parker Spider-Man vol 1 1990 with issue #98 seen here 

 , then Marvel restarted Spider-Man the comic series with Amazing Spider-Man volume 2 number one in December 1998. Which was originally in January 1999 by John Byrne and he at the same time had a new Spider-Man title at time as well called Spider-Man Chapter One that ran for a twelve issues which then canceled. Meanwhile Amazing Spider-Man volume 2 ran from issue 1 to 29 with `fair to good stories with Marvel writers trying to again still get rid of Mary Jane Watson Parker.  Then in April of 2001 with a cover date of June Amazing Spider-Man started a fantastic renewal with Writer Michael Straczynski with issue 30. I was wanting to place where Spider-Man was at the general time during the time Batman Hush was about to be released November of 2000 which was really in December of that year and Batman issue # 608 came out!                                                   Hush begins with Batman saving a boy named Edward Lamont IV, the young heir to the Lamont chemical fortune, in the middle of the night at one of the many of one of Gotham's shipping yards....                                                   

                                                                      he once there takes out three gun men and his foe Killer Croc  while he is trying to keep ten million dollars from Croc and the gun men from Lamont's family.  After he helps the boy to Police and F.B.I. custody someone stops him from chasing Catwoman who has taken the money yet we don't know who that is?  The first chapter of HusH is titled The Ransom....  In Chapter two of HusH we the reader find out who Catwoman had taken the money for Edward Lamont to, which I will tell you about later. But we still have no clue of who was helping Catwoman escape from Batman while he chased her across Gotham's night sky, we only that Batman himself fell to a very specific alley that is part of his actual origin known as Crime Alley. As some local bums try to beat him up one of his female partners known as "H" right now fights the bums as the Batmobile arrives in Crime Alley and takes him to the Bat cave where his butler Alfred is trying his best to help Batman.                                 

 With his injuries...  when Bruce uses morse code that puzzles Alfred for a brief moment because what Bruce's fingers are saying is Thomas and at first the butler thinks his employer is talking about his own father, when in truth he isn't at all?

Throughout other parts of HusH we come to see that Jeph wants to have a event between both Batman and the very first superhero from so long ago that without saying that hero's name I can still let you know who he is by the city he protects and that is of course Metropolis! In chapter five, it's revealed that the person who Catwoman had given the ransom money to is Batman's adversity Poison Ivy. Who gets the aforementioned mentioned hero to side with her and Batman ends up having a brawl with 

                               the last son of Krypton, and to be honest outside of the main story of Batman HusH Jim Lee I have to say probably enjoyed penciling issue five the most out of the whole series. After issue five of Hush the major points seem to have Batman fighting his main enemies of Harley Quinn, Joker, his former Robin known as Jason Todd who was killed on Batman's forty ninth anniversary in nineteen eighty eight. Yet it turns that Jason Todd the second Robin in this story wasn't even alive for real, it turned out here Batman's adversity Clayface was Jason Todd in story, and for non comic book fans reading this it was Batman fans who chose to kill him with a phone poll with a choice of two nine hundred numbers.          The other big thing story wise that Jeph Loeb puts a focus on is a relationship between Catwoman and Batman as both Bruce Wayne and Sellina Kyle their civilian selves. It turns out that HusH is a old friend of Bruce Wayne's before that famous night that he and his parents were walking down a area known as Crime Alley in Gotham city and even though we do as readers find out that HusH is doctor Thomas Elliott and He is still out there... yet how HusH ends is very much an odd place of who was behind it all? Is all I will admit to! My grade overall for Batman HusH is a whole is a C+ for the story, for the Art Jim Lee was completely fantastic like his work of art back in the late nineteen eighties 

,when he did a book known as X-MEN for Marvel comics.  

SANTA VISTS GOTHAM CITY IN....

 Hello comic lovers and new readers of tales of thoughtfulness,                                                      So yeah in someway or other I will admit that I have been so full of wanting to read this particular comic trade that I had  got a couple of weeks ago when I had picked up my recent comics at Adventures Underground in uptown Richland. This trade consists of four issues from around last Christmas time by Decetevice Comics with their top comic superhero known as Batman, in what I am reviewing right now Batman-Santa Claus《Silent Knight》. Which is written by Jeff Parker (Batman '66, Aquaman) with artists Michele Bandini and Trevor Hairsine. Together these three comic creators brought fourth a yarn of ideas as odd as Santa Claus being a darker version of himself while fighting his own foe with the greatest set of heroes around at his side!                                                              When carolers whom are not named expect for a gentleman known asTodd but my guess, is they represent the Batman editorial department, are singing songs of yuletide to the citizens of Gotham city are attacked by winged creatures called the Draug. For true Batman comic readers his Robin here is his actual son,which he had with the daughter of his enemy Ra Al Ghoul in the story known as "Son of the Demon" which is written by Mike O Bar. In that story Batman has a son, yet is not mentioned for years. His son is named Damien Wayne. Recently a few years ago I had seen a whole Robin comicbook trade where Damien had to prove his chance at being not only Bruce's son, also his reasoning for being his dad's partner in being a crime fighter. Yet I am unsure if I happen to have that very trade from when I saw it at Adventures Underground...                                        Batman- Santa Claus《Silent Knight》came out in December of 2023 with these covers   

seen here. The first prints are at the top and were priced at 3.99 a piece, when the alternate variants with the superheroes on the covers were 5.99 a piece at the same time if you were lucky enough some comic shops had not only these but two other sets of variants as well.

As I said earlier in this post I had got at least one of each of these two sets seen here issue one of the first prints and the wonder woman issue of the fourth issue I believe? Yet for this whole review I am using the trade which is of the upper left one of the first prints with Superman reading a comic with a Christmas theme Batman cover to a child who is sitting on his lap.
So how issue one this very series opens up is Bruce Wayne and Damien Wayne as Batman and Robin are investigating a crime scene of where some creatures have attacked some Christmas Carolers in uptown Gotham city and the creatures look like this

 

and Batman comes as he always does with a backup plan and sent a call out to Zatanna who come to Gotham from Europe via a snow-transport spell. She is the one on Santa's lap on the upper left variant cover.  Zatanna I believe is one of Decetevice Comics answer to Marvel's sorcerer supreme better known as Doctor Strange, the only thing so far that I know is definitely different is Zatanna announces her magic spells backwards. Then 

Santa appears on top of building across from where the investigation is taking place and tells both Robin and Zatanna who he is by letting them know he knows where there live, before telling Batman he has been following his exploits for years he also reveals what the creatures are name wise.... 
    By the end of the first arc (issue) , we learn that Santa has come to to Gotham to help the world understand that he is here to help fight his own darker self known as Krampus. In the Second issue we the readers learn of the history between Kris Kringle and his as ( I described it...) a darker version of himself. The writer Jeff Parker knew that he had to have a great diversity against Santa Claus that he had history with... so Jeff remembered the stories he had learned from when he was growing up and what he knows from the internet,  along with his own ideas of the creature called Krampus. Here is what both Santa and Krampus are     

   

                                              like during this Christmas theme tale. Oh one thing that I forgot to mention was in issue one, Santa even with Batman and his friends and family's help couldn't stop one of the wounded Draug that had covered Zatanna with a unknowable pollinating from a colorful set of flowers that rise from the dead creature chest... and cover her in green goo. That takes her out for the remainder of the story.  Besides  learning about the history of Krampus and Claus in issue two we the readers are treated to seeing other members of the justice league... ( Which to my understanding of the D.C. cannon universe hasn't been seen since twenty two I believe? I could be mistaken but I also may be right, and that's me being honest actually). With the heroes now not having a personal ace of a magical chance against the dark side of Kris Kringle, the justice league slowly starts helping Batman and Santa Claus because they see they Draug creeatures effects on each of their own existence and cities as well.... As Krampus fearfullness spreads through out the world even the need of a certain Kryptoniten is felt by all. And when Kal or as he is better known to the world arrives Superman is definitely surprised to finally be meeting Santa Claus!  
      In the opening of issue three this world spaning Christmas tale, Krampus forces of hostile harpies are on a all out attack on Hyde Park,  in London on Christmas Eve morning brings out Hawkgirl, Jo (the youngest of the female Green Lanterns), your general understanding of the Green Lanterns knowledge is mostly male oriented as is mine I am sure for the generation you are apart of.  I mainly know the main Green Lantern as Hal Jordan.... How many do you the reader of this know if I could please ask.) And finally the best known female character of the D.C.  universe has joined in on helping Santa Claus fight his darker side, she is known of course as the Amazonian warrior princess          
    

Wonder woman. ( Now if you are to ask me if I like the design of Diana Prince I am not entirely certain if I know for cretain because I have always known her main costume as a bathing suit more like this 

           but at the same time I can honestly understand why comic companies have a set of changes to accommodate a series of comic arcs storywise. Yet some fans like what they do love).  Throughout this particular part of the story Krampus is building his strength as Batman and the justice league of this world as small as it ( I will explain more about it a little bit later), is joining Santa Claus and his elk known as Prancer.... sorry but no Rudolph and I think that is because Jeff Parker liked/loved Prancer more than any other  reindeer from the classic song. This issue also has a Spider-Man like character known as Blue Beetle who transports the  non flying heroes to an island with a tree to finding another friend of Kris Kringle's named Peppermint Jon who comes the North pole's toy workshop to take them all to Port of Aheim, Vanylvs FJORD, Norway... where the team fight off a sea serpent and Krampus together... and yes by this point Krampus has the upper hand by not only kidnapping Damian Wayne, He finds a way to make Superman his toy puppet and uses Superman to unleash all kinds of monsters on December twenty third....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In the fourth and final issue of this story opens on Christmas Eve of a Batman tale featuring him and Santa Claus going on with their battle with Santa's darker side known as Krampus  with the help of some members of the Justice League, helping them to save the holiday itself. Now the team is in Greenland and are trying to find a way to take down a possessed Superman who has Krampus' soul inside of himself this very night, while also trying to find his son Damian who is in a magical cage in one of the many forrests of Greenland. The youthful Blue Beetle character has way to fight the Krampus spirited filled Superman that nearly kills both of them.... As to what it is you are going have to  find this very trade because I don't want to spoil it for Ye who really wants to know.... oh before I get into my overall grade of this Christmas yarn from twenty,  twenty three and start this year's Batman Santa crossover because there is one yes, I want all of you comic fans to know that the regular Justice League title of the main D.C. universe hasn't been around for at least since twenty,  twenty one if I am not mistaken as to why that is entirely I know that I haven't a real clue about how long the real team will be gone for? Maybe one thing that I can think about as a answer is maybe someone or some company outside of Decetevice Comics has bought the rights for a while to using the characters for a while... like back when Marvel comics filled for bankruptcy in nineteen ninety six to survive the sold the rights of several characters like X-MEN, SPIDER-MAN, and the Fantastic Four to cretain studios to keeping ownership of the characters in Marvel's ownership and form that time in nineteen ninety six, till twenty twelve Marvel used the Fantastic Four characters very little in their main comic continuity.  For they were co owned by twenty century fox films. But who knows if something like that is the reason for the Justice League not having a title for so long is! As to my grade of Batman-Santa Claus Silent Night story I will give it a B plus. Because it has done something no other Decetevice Comics title did... it has me wanting to read more of their comics and that's rare thing seeing me with a comic from that company unless it's something I really love that is being published by them!

Classic Troup of Sci-fi/Horror fun from films of old.... or something else entirely???

Hey comic fans of all kinds of stories,                                                                                                   Well for this review I have been thinking quite a lot of old movies that I haven't seen in a very long time that at some point I know that I have to review here on this ongoing little thing that I try to do daily if I can get the chance to do it. The two main movies that happen to be on my mind at the moment are The Day The Earth Stood Still (the original one from nineteen fifty one), and Return of the Living Dead and fit very well into this very entry,  which at some eventual time I am planning on reviewing through out this very blog. So is there by any chance of a science fiction and horror films that are a way to elude to a chance of a completely EXCITING comic story....                                                                          Of course for all of you who know the real me, that when I get into reviewing something I will give it my most definitive attention. Especially when it comes upon knowing comics in and out of getting maybe you wanting to checking it out for yourself and seeing how you like a new richness of a new type of a small short story from the creative minds from people who want to boarding our understanding of both having fun and also going out with their ideas to understanding our imaginations with either classic characters that we all do know or new ones that are certainly created by at least the story architecture of the writer and the illustratior. But of course, in the end of everything  you can just read my review here if that is what works best for you as well?                                                                             Here is the very comic that I am going to be sharing the content of...                                               

In THE COLONIZED, which is written by Chris Ryall and illustrated by Drew Moss, in the state where  you used to be able to go pretty much as fast as you wanted on the roads it turns out has a really strong, yet very broken community that is definitely divided on it's expanding growth by it's leading family known as the Robertsons has recently just buried their father Rennie in the town's cemetery, by his son Huxley. Who with his closest friends view something in the night sky 

that statlers them and also some other citizens who don't necessarily agree with Hux's views on the governance of Carbon Falls, Montana way of life...                                                            But they all are very well scarred out of their wits when they go to see what has become a very interesting object in the woods. There all of the town's folk find a space vessel that's in ruins 

, and as they argue over what's inside the downed craft from outside of our own solar system they come in contact with some very equally scarred visitors from beyond our galaxy. Who don't want to wage war on the human race, they want our help?                              See the aliens were trying to find out if they could make contact with a inhabitant of the planet earth only to find out what they had found was a dead cropse that they pulled from a recent burial plot in the Carbon Falls cemetery with an transporter beam to their vessel. One mystery that has me interested most about this story is Chris's development of bringing the Zombies into his story telling! This comic is published by IMAGE comics and isn't limited to just two cruse words like if it were published by either Decetevice or Marvel comics, where when if some characters swears they use prompts so that their stories are equally important yet safe for all type of readers from youngsters to adults of all kinds. It's their way of keeping one aspect of the created comics code authority in check from the mid nineteen fifties of publishing comics. Drew's pencils really give the story a impressive impact. I am willing for my rank of a grade for this very comic is an C plus! 

It's here and my thoughts on it too!

Hello All and no one too, unless you are certainly serious of knowing who you are?               Boy talk about a very broad introduction with my entry for tonight and what is even stranger is that the topic that I am ripping into was perditicted last year,  and of course also in the start of this very year some thrity one twisted days ago. Of course what ever it is, that I talking about is something like sixty five years old till when October second of this year when it will be celebrating it's sixty six years of being around! You'll undoubtedly notice that whatever it is that I am reviewing now has been talked about on the internet for a very long time, and I will admit that my take on this series my not be the best out there, but I really want to also use this very series to do my best to to explore who the narrator and creator Rod Serling himself was.... that goes beyond what I am absolutely able to find out on the the internet.                                                                                       This past summer I had gotten the opportunity to find the original Twilight Zone on Blu-ray along with Rain Man on 4k Blu-ray and the original seven movies that as far as I remembered was only six movies of the Police Academy on DVD at my local Best Buy store. Before this past summer, I have had the original Twilight Zone television series on  DVD box set that I had picked up at Wal-Mart way back in twenty sixteen. Which yes if you are asking are there differences in the two formats the answer is certainty YES,  also one more thing that I do have to mention is that I have one of the very small box set fan favorite set of Twilight Zone episodes volume one that I got from at TARGET! back in twenty fourteen. Here is a photo of the Blu-ray and DVD set on my coffee table, 

the one laying flat with the red Twilight Zone text with the spiraling tunnel is the DVD set, the one standing up is the Blu-ray set the one that will be used for these reviews: so let's  get our minds together thinking about this classic television series shall we?                                  I  have been thinking about how  I want to present the series as a whole with each and every episode,  and here's what I came up with a photo from the very episode of which I am talking about and the over all summary, then as well the big time star/celebrity who appears, and how it relates to our world today if I can think of it too.  The first Twilight Zone episode aired on October second,  nineteen fifty nine and so here it is!       

          The man in television beside Rod Serling here, is walking from out of a area of where a lot of some trees are, down a dirt road till he comes upon this very small cafe and walks in. He see that no one is here, he says he is hungry and finds two dollars and eighty five cents in his clothes that he has on. So the one and only thing that we the viewing audience and he himself knows is that he is a American citizen. After he can't find anyone around he leaves the tiny restaurant and continues to explore his unknowable whereabouts by walking into the newest upcoming place he is able to find, and still has no recall of who he is?                                                                                                          As he tries, to finding out who he and why he is where he is, after exploring the small town he does trying using whatever part of names he may know when he ends up trapped in a telephone booth.... he tells us the viewing audience the very title of this very first episode "Where is Everybody?"                                                                                                         My overall opinion of "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?", is that it is good in keeping the viewer's mind full of wanting answers to the man without a clue of who he is, gives out even answers even more from the very start of when he while in the Cafe's kitchen a thermometer timer hits the floor and without giving away the twist of the story he breaks the clock of the machine he is in. The one very interesting giant twist within this episode to me is the possible title of this episode being shown when the protagonist is in a general store and he comes upon a book spinning rack                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                              that even by it's very title makes him and  you, or us, as a viewer know that he might be well for all intended purposes an alien or "THE LAST MAN ON EARTH" and besides that being a cool side note, I do love how Serling himself gave us one more thing to ponder at before throwing us the actual answer.                                                                                                     So before going into what I noticed making it rather overwhelming oblivious about a certain filming location I want to let you know that on all of these Blu-ray disc include radio drama of each episode. What is neat is there are many different versions of the classic Twilight Zone episodes on YouTube and other viewing platforms, but as to what is on these may not be on any of those too I rightfully don't know for sure. Each one of these radio dramas have a very interesting star as the leading character of the story....  I will certainly be sharing all of the details of the additional bonus material on the Blu-ray set because as far as I do know there is a lot more than just the radio dramas as well. As to the location shooting here is...   is in fact shown decades later on in a very famous Steven Spielberg set of films that the Twilight Zone did quite often, that being of course known as Time Traveling!                                                                                                                                              Before getting into not only my grade of the very first episode of the Twilight Zone and of course my screen caps on both my phone and my tablet over the month January,  I want you all to know if you are willing to look hard enough on the internet anyone can find some very cool takes of things of old as even the Twilight Zone. That is one very interesting points of the original uses of this world wide computer anyone can find helpful information besides our brains in being absolutely creative.  My whole part of my meaning is that with words both uses of either creating something from your heart and soul or from your hands as well can be as Leonard  Nimoy's Star Trek character of Mister Spock would say is "FASCINATING" and here's what I am meaning in the case of the Twilight Zone example,  when our the amnesiac protagonist is making a bowl of ice cream scoops before turning to at first question himself ?                                                                     

                                           

See what I mean by one finding a comparison to a specific scene of anything you maybe looking for.  There is one very important thing that always happens during any production of any series,  that of course being that the creator of any series gets to meet the person who is portraying the creation of what is written on paper. Between scenes being made of "WHERE IS EVERYBODY" Rod Serling got to meet his Amnesiac actor 
    

Earl Holliman, who is as far as I know still very much alive at the age of a youthful ninety five years old. My overall grade for "WHERE IS EVERYBODY" the pilot of the anthology series called Twilight Zone is an A minus. The reason why is like the rest of the fourth coming series, will always give us as humans a chance to explore the possibilities of the human condition throughout our existence of living our lives each and everyday we are given an opportunity for knowledge of knowing more than just about ourselves.                            Now on to what I have had on my tablet over the month of January into this one of February.... my main lock screen when I was turning on my tablet was a very venturous look at a pre Black history month representation with this a 

Marvel comics SUPER HEROES trading card of Spider-Man in his Black Suit from their trading card set of nineteen eighty six. This was way before they had the idea of coming up with the suit being known as Venom completely. As to when it comes to my love of science fiction outside of both anything of comics or Star Trek, and of course a very interesting anime from the late nineteen seventies and I know that I don't need to name it. This was on my tablet after unlocking my main lock screen                                                         

  the death star from Star Wars is ready to attack our blue marble called earth.... or is it in Star Wars lore Princess Leia home planet of Alderaan from the first episode later known as Star Wars episode IV A NEW HOPE released originally in nineteen seventy seven by a little known writer and director named George Lucas, who owned the property name from nineteen seventy seven till twenty eleven when he then in twenty twelve sold his ownership of Star Wars to the Walt Disney company, and deep down I don't know how I feel about that. Throughout the month of January when I would look at my tablet screen size of nine inches by seven inches  I would see mostly Blackness with a few blurry white and grey areas of where the tiny gleaming stars are. As to what I have had on my phone when I had entered my password I was able to be absolutely puzzled if you were to see this.                                                    

One of those ol so classic pictures of mini pictures to making a image that one can  honestly get their mind so bogged down with by studying it for a long time, and may still not be able to completely bring the challenge to a complete conclusion? So this image is very much greatly engaging in a blog post about the Twilight Zone itself....                                                                When one realizes that all of those tiny images are making up a complete picture of the original creative writer and narrator of the Twilight Zone himself Rod Serling! Then at the same time of seeing/viewing Serling in a puzzling way before unlocking my phone,  I was lucky enough to find on some website where someone had shall we say made this very impressive impact full wallpaper.... 

         
  Rod was able to get together in an offbeat way with his former star of two of the Twilight Zone's most what would I say to describe "NICK OF TIME" and of even more outstandingly famous "NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET" as with anything Twilight Zone related is very thought provoking with William Shanter also known years after the Twilight Zone as cretain captain of a space vessel referred to as the Enterprise from a little series called Star Trek.  Just imagine if you will Rod Serling himself giving us a tease of the original series of Star Trek lore before each episode begins.... and then he would close every single episode with a totally twisted thing to ponder till the newest episode was released? Just a curious thought of how HIS and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry would have been a great example of how science fiction translated so well together.                      Oh there's one more thing that for me Matt to reveal to you my readers and that is for you to see the background plate of this very site to change from this                                         

         

of an eye with a shadowed planet as the pupil in center and at the same time is it a wolf or a canine of some kind in space. This has been part of the background plate since December of last year.... finally I pretty much still have a blog series about the history of the planet on a multitude of ways to understanding why we need to certainly respect our home. I honestly hope that I can continue to make this series on the Twilight Zone a very interesting view of this anthology of somewhat of the time era it is officially set in during it's run and how it forever changed the world of creativity wise along with understanding of if not breaking the rules in that creativity at least bending it, to work on understanding the principles of the human condition of our own society. 

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 and why it's so fantastic

Hello comic readers and Spider-Man fans alike,                                                                                  Before starting my day of around town to do stuff I am definitely going to do my first full comic review of the year, and well why not start out with a hopeful and strong turn for one of Marvel comics most beloved characters... and still maybe a long way off of it but it could happen you never can honestly tell? Here's the cover of Ultimate Spider-Man #1,   

          being cared for by Spider-Man himself. This story is by writer Jonathan Hickman with illustrative art by Marco Checchetto. The original Ultimate Spider-Man comic with Peter Parker as Spider-Man started the winter/spring of two thousand and at that very same time the writer of the television series known as Babylon five was writer of the recently rebooted volume two of the continuation of Amazing Spider-Man since Marvel had declared bankruptcy in nineteen ninety six. His name was  Joe Michael Straczynski his run at first started to focus on making Peter and Mary Jane's marriage get to it's strongest strength throughout his run on the title till he was ordered by his boss to make it magically vanish by a Spider-Man title known as One More Day... (If you're a regular viewer/reader of this very blog, YOU KNOW HOW I HAVE FELT ALBOUSTULELY OF THE END RESULT, FOR NOW I WILL LET YOU FIND OUT ON YOUR OWN!), The writer of the original Ultimate Spider-Man line was Brian Michael Bendis, who before writing this project was writer of POWERS a imprint of his own released by IMAGE comics.                                                             The original reasoning for the Ultimate Spider-Man which was then followed a couple of years later by Ultimate X-MEN was to create a special diversity of the main Marvel Universe which at this time was only thrity eight years old, if we go all the way back to nineteen sixty two, even though Stan Lee was completely conceived by early nineteen sixty he was ready to retire from the then Altas comics the name of the company since the mid nineteen fifties. Yet the owner of the company a cousin to his mother's side of the family had wanted Stan to come up with something that could rival the competition's Justice League title? What did Stan and artist Jack Kirby come up with as a team for that family cousin Martin Goodman to leverage against the bigger than life of superheroes on a very popular team? They came out with the group               

                  known as the one seen here. The Fantastic Four and that was in late nineteen sixty one, so is it possible that the Marvel comics universe is in actuality more likely fourty years old back in the year two thousand? Anyhoo the Spider-Man character first appeared in a title known as Amazing Fantasy #15, in March of nineteen sixty two...                Just so that you can be aware the older Marvel comics universe is listed as Earth 616 and for reference of the original ultimate universe is listed as Earth 1610. The original Ultimate universe stories ended in twenty eleven. And had only one of their characters be pulled into the main Earth 616 timeline... Yes it's that universe's Spider-Man known as Miles Morales   

   seen here. ( I can say this Miles since his character's beginning still hasn't been able to escape Peter Parker's shadow of who is better as the web Spiner at least comic wise), Miles Morales should have his own hero identity is all I want to say here. Now with all of the brief summarized histories of both sets of takes on the Marvel comics Universes,  let us jump right into this very interesting take on a Spider-Man defined universe that's unique in it's own way, shall we!                                                                                                                   One thing that is very engaging about this very issue is that in it for the first in a very long time of storywise Peter Parker is actually being shown here to be taking his life of existence very responsibly of being older than he is in the Amazing Spider-Man continually by being a father to two children named May and Richard Parker. (Richard Parker is Peter's father's name, he and his wife Mary were framed by Captain America's foe the Red Skull as spies and died when Peter was very young), so it's definitely a great recall to including the whole Parker legacy of family. There is also one character in this very story that in every other iteration of the Spider-Man mythology is never in the stories unless you want to remember the one time, that even after Harry Osborn's death he had succeeded in being absolutely capable of beating out his father Norman Osborn in torturing Peter Parker with the creation of his parents being clones just before the start of the nineties storyline of the clone saga.... yet this very person has been Peter's driving force of his motto of "With Great Power, there must come Great Responsibility!"                         Here he works for the daily bugle with Jonah Jameson, Robbie Robertson, and Wilson Fisk the Kingpin crime is a shrewd business tycoon who owns the Bugle. There's also his foe the Green Goblin. (Yet we have no idea of who he is as of right now, only that possibility his suit looks like it's Stark industry related...) Yet even though he is uncertain about something in his life as well at the current time, he has a very strong relationship with Mary Jane Watson who is his wife. I can honestly say that this version of Peter is very informative of sharing his thoughts of what he is thinking about with her and she is also a great commincater at the same time as being a hopeful listener of his concerns related to every day life. They truly do care about each other like the friends they are, suppose to do. Oh yes I did forget to mention as of yet he isn't even Spider-Man at all,  only a thrity something regular human dealing with life as best that he knows how to!                To me even though I don't know this writer named Hickman, well enough to understand his fundamental goals with this, with his take on Peter's on set so far.... I do know that most fans of Spider-Man as a whole want the man known as Peter Parker to of course have his share of trials of Problems as a normal human will go through weather he is has a super drawn out battle with any bad person on the street, to a specific super villain that he knows how to deal with. So how does Peter Parker deal with his fears of depression when he is in a life and death struggle of lifting his own inner strength is he consistently jokes with his foe whom he is threatened by!                                                                 It also seems as if in this spin of the Ultimate universe there are very few heroes out there trying to figure out who they are as well! So our boy Peter, is not the only human being known to be fighting a grand inner influence of faith in finding out if he is any kind of hero as well? What or Who made all of this very universe so much in need of heroes anyway? All I can honestly say is whom ever it is, is called the Maker. I know even though I know that answer of who the Maker is l have to get the prequel to this version of the Ultimate Universe which was released last year as a title known as Ultimate Invasion a four part plus a added one shot series. I happen to have three out of the five in single issue format, they too are scribed by Hickman as well.                                                                         There is ONE MORE  VERY IMPORTANT THING,  that I also want to talk about before giving my complete grade of this very Awesome and well constructive look at a set of fans appreciation of Spider-Man as a enduring as Mister Peter Parker truly is... Marvel as a company has had their top selling character be for since 2007, that is seventeen years way to long to keep him as a one note bum without any chance to be a growing character be stuck as maybe this is only me I don't happen to say it as anything but Peter Parker is actually been a as I mentioned a bum, but also a great villain because he has been unrelatable since One More Day ended. Yes you heard that right I am certain a bunch of Spider-Man fans believe a hero can't be worth being a hopeful inspirational source of being faithful to being fair and honest for everyone.  I mean with how most comics have been written for the last few years how can any hero at Marvel or Decetevice Comics be worth exploring for richness of knowledge of heroism... when the stories are written so condensed by the writer of any book. Now I have to also remember super heroes right now of both mainstream publishers are lost in editorial mistakes more than ever! The editors definitely need to know that writing towards one set of readers who don't care for your product will get their sells only so far for so long, in the long term. I am honestly hoping that Marvel won't make this Ultimate Spider-Man eventually just like they have the one that is sixty two years old and be unwanted at all. My grade for the family version of  Peter Parker seen here 

is really fascinating full of each character from Peter and Mary Jane and their two children May and Richard are ready to grow into the best of both worlds of who want to be full of gusto in their own ongoing and on growing creative universe. I can say this about reading this very issue has me thinking about getting the forementioned Ultimate Spider-Man onimibus from Amazon at some point. My grade is A + for this one and have high expectations that Peter and Mary Jane's marriage will eventually return in great detail in the one that is super brilliantly broken right now!
