For a long while now I have been thinking about him

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                         During this past week I have been very fortunate to have gotten to get a whole other year of age older, and from the previous week of from Staint Patrick's day I was trying to share a lot of my own memories from certain years while growing up and just today something really interesting and inspiring popped into my head. I had thought about my current Facebook profile picture and was thinking and wondering if I should talk of the man in it that is beside me.... he was my granddaddy from on my mother's side of the family and yes in a way I have talked about him here before. But it's also been a very long amount of time since it's needed to add more love about him. I know that most times of when you are here I am one way or another talking about stuff that I like to chat about of say cartoons or my many other type of entertainment and yes even about Spider-Man and the medium he comes from comics quite a lot....                                                                           For a while now on my Facebook page I have had the profile picture of myself and Ben Powers just after my graduation from my high school of Hanford High school seen here.        

                                                                               That was way back in June on the first Friday, which was the seventh of nineteen ninety one.                                                                                                                                                     From as far back as I can remember Ben was a man of inspiration to all of his grandchildren and when I tell you he respected you at least more than once his ten including Lyle and Merri Watson knew that he gave you that opportunity more than once. More than anything Granddaddy really loved his work at the metal shop he worked for a company known as Lummer metals in Columbus, Georgia where he mainly grew up. He loved his chance to spend time with God when he faced a human challenge he couldn't understand... in fact I remember that when I was visiting him and my grandma his wife Evelyn "Ebby" Day Powers over the summers as a child he took me to church with him on Sunday mornings and Wednesday's evenings for men Bible studies and dinners. He had two sisters one who took care their mother who was known as Big Mama to everyone,  who knew her no matter who knew her. Ben and Evelyn lived on 21st street at 1311 till he passed away in April of 2004.                                                                                      The one thing that I know that I truly got from Ben Powers was something very rare indeed besides his caring love and respect,  or at least I want to believe it came from knowing him, that is that I have great patience of dealing with a lot of stuff in the area of wherever I am. Another thing that Granddaddy loved to do was tell stories and jokes that truly made anyone who was listening think about it for a long while, one story that he made up was called "Raw Head and Bloody Bones" but at the same time one of his greatest jokes was with me anyway "Oh Go Ahead.." that would be me and his response was "Hey did you just call me a goat head..." 

    Another thing that I remember about my granddaddy was he was a collector of match books he had at least in nineteen eighty six four big plastic tubs from Rubbermaid full to top of each one. He just picked them up from every restaurant, every hotel, and fuel center ( a gas station), and of course grocery stores too. I think that he even had a few interesting international match books in his overall collection, the reason as to why he had them I remember asking him once and he said "I  have collected them so I can remember my travels from place to place of where I have been." Funny thing was he never smoked a pipe or a cigar, or even a cigarette that I can ever recall. He also loved to help me on putting puzzles together, we put super heroes ones together to ones of Star Trek puzzles and even one of the grand canyon at Christmas time in nineteen ninety four. I remember as well thar he had a scar on his right palm of his hand forever from when he was a child. He told me the story of how he got that scar and it's very interesting indeed. When he and his brothers were on a picnic with their family they were playing with a set of sardeen containers and their pop guns.... or maybe back then it was a kid and his sling shot, Ben and his brothers were slinging pebbles at their sardeen containers and his went an fell into the stream and he went to go pick it up from the water and the palm of right hand tore along tendon and outward from his thumb and His Mama wasn't a happy woman that given weekend at all... he got his hand to heal but he has a forever mark as a reminder to never play with sardeen containers again!                                                    Then when was twelve he showed me how to use wood craving tools and help me make a cage for Battle Cat from He‐ Man and the Masters of the universe toyline.  He enjoyed taking me his grandson out to a restaurant known as Captain D in Columbus,  Georgia where we would enjoy hush puppies and cod fish with a glass of sweet tea. One of the many things that I will always remember about my granddaddy was that when we flew from Pasco to Seattle to Atlanta and before heading to their home in Columbus we would go and spend about two hours at Six Flags theme park on our first day                                                                                       

                                        of our two weeks of visiting them in those summers of the past! In that picture right there was one of our last trips to Six Flags over Georgia in nineteen eighty three with my sister Kylie and like each other time that was a blast to for us and our cousins Dan and James Simmons. Oh and just in case you're wondering that loin was named Leo a common name for a loin stuffed or not....                                                                         More memories of Granddaddy Ben Powers coming soon....

More about my own knowledge of Batman's comic history

Hello All comic book fans and non comic fans as well....                                                                     I know that I can't say it enough times but I really enjoy reading comics,  and more than anything Marvel over their competition of Decetevice Comics yet over the past couple of years I had definitely given myself the opportunity to grow more than just into my main man of Peter Parker also known as Spider-Man. Lately besides knowing of Batman from what I have heard from other comic fans and the other forms of media the old Adam West television series mostly come to mind besides the many animated cartoons the character is in, I don't know much about Batman's comic lore in greater details other than some big well known story  lines! What I really know about Batman stories besides his greatest foe being a fellow that calls himself the Joker... is that he also has a few other key nemesis such as the Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, to name a few of the classical rouges that I and most of you all know about.                                                            Batman was originally started way back in the late spring and early summer of nineteen thirty nine a whole year after two young men named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster had created a character known as Superman to a publisher named National Comics. One particular title that National Comics had ongoing was named Decetevice Comics that was started in February of nineteen thirty seven with a cover date of March by National Comics. It had ten stories in it, as to how many pages were part of each story I can honestly say that maybe not many at all if the page count was twenty two pages as is the main count of morden comic books unless it is a special anniversary issue, those go for about sixty four pages which can be a main story of the title character and then maybe three mini stories. Which cost about close to ten dollars with whatever state tax is of where the book is brought. Back then in the nineteen thirties the cost of a comic was ten cents and why readers loved them were because of three things: number three people who read comics were meant to be for children,  but even way back then I am sure the readers ages did like now truly varied from teenagers to guys in the armed services. , number two now I will actually be honest this might me but I really would want to believe that children and adults who read comics love/loved the art that accompanied the words of dialogue between the said creative creations of characters rather if they are of the title character or whatever they are facing in the creative stories. , the number one reason comics of yesteryear I  know that they the comics are important to all who read them is the stories help us be inspiring to not only ourselves but to others in their everyday lives by more than anything they help people who read comics to learn to increase not only their imaginations but as well increase their overall vocabulary.                    Batman was created by two men just like Superman a whole year before.  The two men were named Bill Finger seen here from   

    a comic creator card set that came out around nineteen eighty nine that I have the whole set in my collection of comic stuff. Bill thought of Batman more as a pulp character than a comic book character. He was born February 8th, 1914- January 18th, 1974. The other  man was the illustratior of Batman and his name was Bob Kane seen here.                  

 He was born in October on the 24th,1915- November 3rd, 1998. Bob claimed that for many years that he was the sole creator of Batman, when in truth he was just a fantastic penciler of those in the Batman family of characters... He did make a cameo in the Batman movie by Tim Burton in nineteen eighty nine. When Bob took on that claim the only thing Bill Finger did to keeping a connection to Batman is he wrote a couple of episodes of the Batman television series that starred Adam West and Burt Ward who portrayed the main leads... of Batman and Robin in the mid nineteen sixties! 

                        Now that you are caught up on my main historical information of Batman as a comic character.  As to where my main focus will be on this entry is on the Batman stories seen in this trade and the start of something new novel wise seen here.                               

I had got the Batman trade along with the year that followed which was 1987-1988 which was titled "Killing Joke and other stories", this one is Batman year one and year two that covers stories that include the most interesting take in Bruce Wayne's life known as the new Robin Jason Todd.  I know that you as a regular reader of a comic of any kind are saying wait there's more Than just Dick Grayson who has been the original Robin sidekick to Bruce Wayne's Batman. How it all happened of there being new Robin for Bruce was a complete company Event.... 
            Before I get into what the name of the company Event was at the same time over at Marvel comics they too had just started a new Event at their company that had all of their major comic characters in a ongoing reset of sorts at the same time theirs was to for the first time in a long amount of time have toys of their characters in toy stores worldwide  the toyline was also named as the comic storyline, which was known as Serect Wars. And I have a couple of copies of that too. Decetevice Comics as a company decided to reset or clarify all of their main characters that was designed differently from Marvel's way of doing so, they had wanted to modify each heroes history since by this time in Decetevice Comics history ALL of their heroes had been around as far back before World War II even had begun...                                                                                                                                                While Sercet Wars was happening at Marvel in the mid nineteen eighties, over at Decetevice Comics at the same time their story line was known as Crisis on Infinite Earths and like Sercet Wars their story went and dusted off years of back histories and upon its ending even though I haven't read it yet... I know it made all of their heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and so many others including Batman a stronger character and those he knows likes Jim Gordon have a more interesting set of new stories too. What Decetevice Comics decided as well as new stories for readers they wanted to change things up for Dick Grayson who was the original Robin by letting him become after all of his time with Bruce's approval into a new hero besides that of being Robin he had became Night Wing and lead the teenager group of heroes calling themselves the Teen Titans. It was during this very time that Batman himself decided he would be better off without a Robin...                                                                                                                                                   Yet before the event known in 1985 as "Crisis on Infinite Earths"  Jason Todd was introduced two years before in Batman 357, dated March nineteen eighty three seen here, 

 

with an actual release date of November nineteen eighty two. At that time I was ten years old and knew of Batman and other Decetevice Comics heroes as I said earlier from the superfriends various cartoon series... This new character that was introduced as a possible Interesting Robin had the background that was similar to Dick Grayson the original Robin with Jason Todd's family were acrobatics in a circus. A few issues later Bruce Wayne became Jason's guardian in Batman 360.

                                                                                                           And still the per "Crisis on Infinite Earths" version of Jason Todd was trying to figure out if fans were actually accepting of him as a adopted placement for Dick Grayson who was trying to figure OUT where he belongs during this given time.  During this very time it turns out that Gerry Conway who a whole decade before was at Marvel and wrote Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy out of existence in Amazing Spider-Man issue 121 dated July of 1973. Yet a whole decade later he scripted the actual introduction of the worst sidekick to Bruce Wayne before the company's resetting their comic universe. Still here is Jason's first appearance cover wise in nineteen eighty four, is issue 

 Batman 368 which was released in  February on the cover even though it was released in January as Robin and it seems as Bruce just acts like his relationship with Dick Grayson is at a certain unknowable for the foreseeable on the upcoming future. Now before getting to ahead of myself I must admit I don't know exactly what month in nineteen eighty four was the official end date of the fifty years of time that Decetevice Comics the company decided to start the official planning  process for their upcoming new destinations directly. I just remember seeing the cover of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" issue 7 at Payless when I was picking up in their music department the audio cassette of the Masters of the universe new movie called the secret of the sword,  which features the branching out of the HE-MAN toy franchise with his sister She-Ra added to it. Here's what that issue number seven cover looks like 

 the one in the upper left hand upper corner is the one I am talking about here, where Superman is holding his cousin Supergirl. Three years earlier at Marvel during a storyline called "The Dark Phoenix Saga they had Scott Summers known as Cyclops holding Jean Grey in issue one hundred and thirty four of The Uncanny X-MEN in nineteen eighty three

 which was part eigth of  The Dark Phoenix Saga out of ten issues for a story that was originally split in two arcs storywise.  I have found out about something known as Homage  covers from one site that I have followed for years that I will write about soon! Actually now back to the main topic at hand of the Batman year one and year two trade in D.C.FINEST and the reintroduction of Jason Todd as Robin after the event known as "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Batman was now able to finally be his darker version of himself while the newer version of Robin was able to be edger as well,  in a way that had comic readers unclear and possibly undecided as to if they would love him at all.  

Along with the two four parts of year one and year two D.C. FINEST contains the whole years from nineteen eighty five/six to nineteen eighty six/seven, the comic titles are Batman #401-412, Batman annual #11, and Decetevice Comics #568-579 also a series known as Batman the New Adventures # 408 to # 412, and then Year Two... earlier in this very entry I was going tell us all how Batman met his new Robin.  The cover seen here of                                             

                                                                                                             Batman the New Adventures number four hundred and eight says it all Jason is stripping the Batmobile of it's tires. The main plot of this story is about the couple of days before Batman witnessed the death of his parents in Crime Alley. After he and Dick Grayson stop the Joker from stealing the smile of death which are known as Hopeless Diamonds. And when Robin nearly falls to his death Batman has some heavy thinking to do... and decided that he needed to work alone from now on and not put any teenagers in trouble by them being Robin. Then on the night of his parents murder he finds no criminal activity going on till he returns to the Batmobile 

, and finds a young youth stripping off his tires on the vehicle. The youth agrees to attending a school so that he will stay out of trouble and Batman takes him to a local reform school for boys named MA GUNN'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS, 

and I won't tell you how it ends other than is it possible that even a hero can make a big mistake? This introduction of the second Robin is written by Max Allen Collins and illustrated by Chris Warner. Yet there were many comic writers like new Batman comic readers who didn't really know if they loved this new Jason Todd as Robin and before he was even fully introduced in this issue he was killed by Batman foes the Scarecrow and even the Mad Hatter in Decetevice Comics #571 and #573 and #574 with that comic writer being Mike W. Barr who after that Batman year two.                                                                      In another blog entry that I wrote in 2022 about the Joker film coming out I had reviewed a comic trade known as Batman vs Joker which had a bunch cool stories in it from as far back as early 1970's. And at that same time  I reviewed Batman year One in that same entry and since it is in this trade of Batman year one and year two I will give a bit different take on this version of year one in this DC FINEST of Batman 1986-1987 one. Year One was written by comic legendary creator Frank Miller and drawn by David MazzuchellI, It was in the Batman title starting with issue four hundred and four through four hundred and seven in it's beginning of it we the readers learn of what Bruce Wayne has been doing before he took on the identity of fear for the criminals he faces in his future,  we also see in year one the growth of Jim Gordon the police commissioner from when he first came to Gotham and was a lieutenant in the police force before becoming the police commissioner he is known as! In Year one in the first issue we see how Bruce Wayne uses his heart and mind to build his body to be stronger and use his mind to learn to be a detective in the worst parts of downtown Gotham! Whilst leteutenant Gordon meets with Gotham police chief commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and chief Flass. Gordon sees while on protol with Flass a bit of brutality that gives him more to find out about the very police force he works for! One thing that I almost forgot to mention is that in this four issue stories is Catwoman who in this is kinda a guardian of a young street kid known as Holly who she protects from the evils of the world. By the end of Year One there is a reassuring bit of respect between Jim Gordon and Batman and you know that a certain clown prince of crime is out there making it known he is out there waiting.....                     What I find really interesting about Year One besides the story itself is what is hiding in MazzuchellI's panels in some parts of it, like here

when Gordon meets his new boss Gillian B. Loeb in his office. If you look closely at where they are talking you notice something very familiar on the lamp shade. Here is the panel up closer for 

         a better look. Maybe before the editing of this scene Decetevice Comics editors let MazzuchellI art speaks volumes he added his favorite newspaper comic strip in the story but it really wasn't just "peanuts" that got snuck in a Batman tale. Yet Charlie Brown wasn't going to be the thing MazzuchellI snuck into the Year One story for in issue two of the series he put a certain famous mouse of who owns Decetevice Comics competition Marvel on Gillian B. Loeb jacket's seen here                                                                                   

 as he is talking to Gordon about where Batman possibly is? Unbeknownst that Batman is just outside his property taking out the commissioner's personal protective guards on the night of May nineteenth! Then in the fourth issue we see yet maybe more Disney possible interesting show of Decetevice Comics ownership when we see that MazzuchellI places a Micky Mouse phone in Gillian B. Loeb's hand when he orders that Gordon's wife be held hostage till Batman is dead. One other thing that is priticular  indeed important is that writer Frank Miller gave a part of a future Batman writer Jeph Loeb an acknowledgement he will ģet to be crafting words of Batman in the far far future by naming Jim Gordon's boss in part with the last name of Loeb.

In late nineteen eighty six in the month of May, but dated on the cover of Decetevice Comics issue #575 June the writer of the title Michael Barr starts another year of Batman in this Bruce Wayne is thinking about retirement after years of stopping street criminals and super villains seems far from his thoughts till a mysterious guy starts showing up all over Gotham and has a big white skull to hide his identity.  Bruce happens to have real reason for his wanting to give up his cowl and cape, for a woman, her name is Rachel Caspian. The art of issue five hundred and seventy five is provided by Alan Davis.  
The next three issues are still written by Mike W Barr, but penciler Alan Davis must of had another comic title he was assigned to because after his few issues of the the title "INFINITY INC" the one of seven who walked away from both Marvel and Decetevice Comics in nineteen ninety two was the illustratior of Batman year two in nineteen eighty six... His name is Todd McFarlane and he did at least one Batman cover 

       seen here. In this story which was released in September of 1988 Batman was trying to save two teenagers from their addiction to drugs. The main story is written by Marvel writer of the original Infinity Gauntlet and creator of mad titan known as Thanos, Jim Stariln. Back to Batman year two where Todd had taken on being a bit gritter than ever before with the greatest Decetevice Comics character of comics! Now there is one more pair stories in Batman annual # 11 with Batman creator Alan Moore who writes in nineteen eighty seven with the famous arc called "The Killing Joke"... which is another DC FINEST which I have as well!
Now you're probably wondering what novel yours truly is wanting to throw at myself for the foreseeable future,  I had found earlier in early this month at Barnes and Nobles... It is called Revelation Space and it's for sure going to be a very interesting read since it is the first part of a trilogy,  that is written by Alistair Reynolds... 

A TRUE LOOK AT (ANOTHER LOOK OF THE 80's) other than....

 Hey All,                                                                                                                                                           You know sometime you at times come up with an idea of what you may want to write when your are a creative person and right now I have a for the first time in long time I am finding it hard to come up with the words for this very comic review, not because it isn't because of trying to find my way to talk about a non superhero/science fiction/horror themed background of this one at all, but because this one sorta hits home with one priticular panel that I will be sharing.  I will and you will know it trust me! Okay with my little percusor out the way I feel safe with starting my overall review of "Grommets" that is published by Image comics and is written by comic creator Rick Remender and Brian Posehn and is illustrated by Brett Parson.                                                                                                    "Grommets" is a story that was seven issues of growing up in the nineteen eighties and trying to figure out these two characters named after the writers and their experiences or what they wanted to have their lives be like? It's about trying to find a way to bound with a given in crowd. There are a lot of nineteen eighties references between Rick and his father as seen here

in the opening page of the first issue! Now before going any further for a moment in the bottom panel the father mentions as they are rushing from the little coffeehouse or very small local mini mart which is more likely for in the eighties.... "First on the list, a three-way with Loni Anderson and Sally Field Ha!" places this around the end of W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati which ended in 1982 and around the same time when Sally's new film "Smoky and the Bandit" was in theaters about 1983. Yet how the whole part about seeing Anderson name in a certain time frame right now brings a tear to the eye if you haven't heard that just last week she passed away. We learn that it seems hard for Rick to as I said before to find new friends except for his long haired buddy Brian. Then the two are with Brian's granddaddy in his vehicle heading out to 

 a certain California stake park.                              We find out that Rick is a true nerd in his own way besides liking to be cool with Brian at loving to flipping boards he also loves as seen here when he is waking up in his own bedroom that he has a thing about comics  

 by that incredible hulk poster on his wall behind him.  Throughout the rest of second issue we see the beginning of tensions between Brian and his mother besides his fun times with his grandfather from the first issue. An we see that both Rick and Brian find some gals that love to tear it up with broads then after having grub at a certain taco joint they go to a car garage to have a fantastic dare among their age group.  

The true depth of this series besides two friends getting to know each other over what they love in the way of stake boarding they like all teenagers of any generation are trying to figure out relationships with the girls that know... like Rick's girlfriend seen here              

 and her name happens to be Samra, an her characterization is that of a young teenage gal of that given decade. She even asks Rick if he is a wild boy while they both seem to be watching a Duran Duran video on of course MTV. Rick then learns from his father that the family will be moving to another state just as he realizes he has it going good with his set of friends and now that happens...
Meanwhile...  Brian has been at his grandfather's place getting a party together that he's been so eager to have to show his friends just how cool he really is! Rick happens to come over before the beginning of this party to talk to Brian about his ordeal to find that another big personal thing is going on     

                         

with Brian.       
        The party is suppose to be the stake geeks which happens to include Samra as well as the two Jennifer's in the story too. After having some unintended guests at the party things go from bad to worst. By the series end both Rick and Brian find even greater value and challenges but not in California but rather in Arizona! For a non superhero type of comic tale this story is full of great nods of the nineteen eighties even if I didn't get to be so darling in my own way of growing up in the eighties.... I still enjoyed my way of being able to be kind to everyone I knew from back in that time of growing up! If you are wanting to look for Grommets for yourself here is what the cover 

                                    looks like.  

I just saw SUPERMAN

Hey All,                                                                                                                        I wanted to let you all know that beforehand of posting my review of the new SUPERMAN film which I am currently doing right now, will be followed up by some Superman comics being covered here by myself.  Yesterday while I was heading to uptown Richland towards Adventures Underground on the bus ride there my sister in-law texted me to see what I was up to and she asked if I wanted to see the new SUPERMAN movie so instead of just texting her back I called her and in our conversation she told me if I was free could we see that new SUPERMAN film and I said I am okay with that because I haven't seen it yet. While out at uptown area I went to an antique that I know of, and went in there with the intention of finding a Ray Bradbury book to add to my small collection already... which I had picked up a copy of the Martian chronicles at Adventures 

 , yet I had found this cool SUPERMAN coffee mug there.                                  So after going to church with Kathie this morning we then headed over to the Queengate movie theater. We got our tickets and went an got there while the screening was still showing trailers.  We had seats row G 9 and 10 and weren't to high of seeing the full size of the screen. The one thing that I will say for certain is that no matter what don't  make your decision on whether to see this new take on the boyscout of all superheroes just because of the negative reviews you have heard over the internet! Now I am not promising to be able to provide you with the best review of this movie, just the most meaningful one from a real humbling comic lover.                                                                                          This version of Superman isn't exactly Christopher Reeve perfect but there happens to be a cameo that's able to be missed by one of his son's is on a video transmission as a news reporter in a fight scene with a little monster nearly rampages through out Metropolis, D.C. universe... New York for the character. Besides the film being about first comicbook superhero created by two immigrants named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who sold their property of their creation of Superman for only one hundred and thirty eight dollars to back in the nineteen thirties to National Comics who was the name of Decetevice Comics back then in April of nineteen thirty eight. The Lex Luthor in this is not a Gene Hackman version who is after land in the Reeve's films. In this Lex is very determined to kill the alien of Krypton the film also may have a greater impact villain wise that has been hinting at since forty two years ago in nineteen eighty three's Superman III when they were wanting to use the Superman foe known as Brainaic.                       Another reason why you may like this version of Superman is because of Krypto who is the most misbehaving dog.... My overall grade for this Superman movie is a B minus!                                                                         

Hello All,                                                                                                                      Ever since I have come back from visiting my folks from in Cuenca, Ecuador back around the end of this past May,  I started back on nineteenth, and while trying to have as much fun with them and my new friend Ian that I met while visiting them I was definitely trying to getting around to reading   

                                        these books seen here. Since that time I have only read the Batman Hush trade yet at the same time while down there I kept trying to get in to reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and even though it took me close to a whole month later in June for me to devouring this fictional tale of what could happen to humanity if we can have everything we want or need with the exception of one very important thing.  This review of Fahrenheit 451 has a great many things within it's very pages that are very relevant to today on the fourth of July evening. It also has a lot of meaning about each of us as humans treating each person as much as a needed relationship and understanding the importance of needing to remember we all are in need of self respect when the world is at time against us. Let's get into why this story is very important to all of humanity!                                                  From the first page of Fahrenheit you or we as readers find out that in this world's fire fighters aren't perventors of destruction they are the cause of them, as the central hero of this story known as Guy Montag is described with having possibly pain over watching the results of his work of setting a place up in being burnt down with his hose that is connected to a canstor of Kerosene on his back. We can tell by the words which Bradbury uses that he seems rather in doubt of his own thoughts. He as he walking home meets a young teenager who with her own type of conversation brings up something for Guy to ponder even more over which is "are you happy?"                                                We find out that Guy himself while dealing with his wife at home seems to might have his own personal secret of something that he is hiding stuff in a ceiling ventilator in his room but at this point, he is the only one who knows what it might be? He went and sometime years ago had built an entertainment palor for his wife, and she wants him to finish it. The entertainment palor has currently three wall size television screens in it, while he is still paying off the third television with his salary from being a fireman. The next night when he attends work at the fire station Montag see that the station now has a entirely new pet while he is playing cards with the guys his boss tells him of why they have this mechanical hound. Then the alarm sounded....                  What is the meaning of an alarm in this powerful story? It is known that if anyone has any type of glued pages with words with either a paper backing or a cardboard cover binding better known as a book your punishment is your life is definitely ended! The firemen headed to a elderly woman's home and  she's defensive in protecting her ideal of why words are very relevant to her. Montag's boss Beatty then sets the woman and her home up in flames!                                                   From here on out I won't spoil what comes next for the characters of Fahrenheit 451... Except this Every single character is forever changed! The main thing that I want to do now is talk about what the story itself brings out in the way of controversies and or criticisms how  much if at all do Ray's actual substance still affect us as humans today.                                                                                                                             One if not the main things that I did notice as I read this novel is the understanding that in one way or another as I just said there is complete elevolution of not only characters choosing to change or not able to change is shown with grit and also grief as there is mentioned the war of the past through Guy's remembrance to his own childhood when he is talking to the teenager girl at the beginning. Which is of course known to one generation as either "The Big One" and then there is this one "The Greatest Generation's War" were two ways of defining name wise of World War II as far as I Matt remember before the internet was introduced to the whole world in nineteen ninety four.         Anyway as Guy is talking to Clariesse McClellan on their walk to their homes he remembers a time, when he was a boy and his mother lit a candle to give them light when the power was out everywhere. There is certainly no doubt that this was a memory that Ray Bradbury felt needed to be shared in this very nightmarish story of literature being destroyed! He also made it another point to speak of people anywhere and everywhere being burned and not just like in the concentration camps over in places like Nazi Germany, while under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, who was responsible for murdering close to six million Jewish people in what is known as the Holocaust. Hitler also murdered an additional four million other people who were deemed "unworthy of life."                                                                                                                             So there is a lot more to the meaning about people being burnt in real life besides the likes of combustion of oxygen and heat. Fahrenheit 451 shows us that even in the greatest of unknowable ways people everywhere can hurt themselves even with the consequences of cutting technologies if we are not careful enough! The most important and meaningful experience from the words of this very fictional yarn that I have gained is we as humans are more worthy to judge those closest to us rather if we know them as our own families and friends because we decide to go with our feelings rather than our known knowledge when we have everyday contact with each other... but at the same time if the whole world is against you remember that no one has to endure the worst of all options do not just disappear into a crowd of nothingness!           Remember that there is something absolutely special about us and books, we need them to understanding not only a good or a fantastic source of knowledge... we need stories to learn about both the understanding of being rich with both love and responsibly even if the topic in the way of the book's subject is completely something else entirely. Now with today being the fourth of July remember to use proper judgment when lighting up those fireworks and enjoy your time with your family and friends... 

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.
