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! 

February 01, 2024

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!

New year and hoping for....

 Happy New Years day to all,                                                                                                                    When I want to think of the meaning of today's meaning it does seem that even though we use it as the start of the next set of the upcoming three hundred and sixty five days or if it is a leap year which I believe that it is we will have it be three hundred and sixty six days... with it all being because of the last day of this upcoming February with an additional day instead of the regular twenty eight of the normal for that month. Although I will admit that I can't say what the twenty ninth day will fall on exactly? One thing that I do know of for certain is that I have a lot of thoughts on old projects that I am planning on finding time to finish from last year and new ones starting through out this upcoming one too...                                                                                                                                                          The one project that is mostly on my train of thoughtfulness of late is this                                 

                                                                                             seen here,  my little classic friend as my nickname for when I am talking about her. Her name is MacKenzie and I have been working on it since before her birthday which is in the summer time of the year, while I will admit that I want to color her with my color pencils for several months I also have wanted to add more to her shirt an in that area lies the said hardest part.... but I feel that I am coming up close with something? As to if I am thinking of something in the background I highly doubt it but if I were to maybe it would be a huge H and B for of course Happy Birthday! As to it's title  I so far have two main ones to choose from and here they are "M&M forever friends"or maybe "Mighty Yellow M&M classics", I think I prefer the latter, but that's just me.                                                                 As for other type things that I have planned for this upcoming year is that I am hoping to getting around to posting about the many cartoon series that I liked or loved from when I was a tykesiter and why each of them mattered to me so much. Now as to if with them, I will go in a direct chronological order of how I watched those very anmaited drawings, I don't know as of yet what way it will be put out overall! One very important thing that I also am still thinking about before reviewing any of those is will I be wanting to do as I have in the past a general understanding of each series as well? I believe that this very year I will begin reviewing the television series that brought the important attention of medical dramas to the forefront way before stuff like E.R., Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, St. Elsewhere, House,  and even including before Doggie Howser... I am of course talking about 
the television series known as EMERGENCY!, which is also as old as I am.                                  And if you know me, besides being a hopeful creative type of person and wanting share both old and most certainly new things in the upcoming year of twenty twenty four, you all know that I am a essentially Henry Bemis in a whole multitude of ways. Yes I am of course talking about my other main love to growing in great knowledge in many type of gathering information from words written on a page. Whether it is in novels or as those twenty five pages with illustrative illustrations as well as a narrative between a set of people or sometimes interesting type other creative creations that a writer comes up with for their given stories in what is called a comic book. Over the past few years of late, I have been opening my reading palate to include a wider variety of variations on subjects... other than just my favorite one which is super heroes! As if you are unawareness my top understanding of a likable human that I really like and honor with great compassion is a certain New York citizen known simply as Peter Parker! So there is a new Spider-Man title coming out this very month that I and any true Spider-Man fan is truly appreciating and when it comes out I am sure that you will understand why I love that very title,  which is Ultimate Spider-Man #1... until then I still have plennty of comics to have past reviews to be appearing very soon...                                                                      
       Who is Henry Bemis?, your asking me right, well he is a character from the classic television series known as Twilight Zone which will probably be maybe one of my classic television series that I mentioned earlier before. All that I really can say is the actor who protrays Henry Bemis is rather fascinating that is all I want to say for the moment right now!, so other than comics I will admit that I also love regular novels and reading them takes me a little longer to ingesting because I really like to absorb everything of anything that is in every book I want to consume. Currently the novel that I am chopping down on is one that I started getting the sequels to a couple of years ago in twenty, twenty two. It is the first in an nine part Trilogy of books, here is  what it's   
cover looks like and yes I happen to know the author as well as having the book personally signed by her. For right now all I can say about it so far is the writing is full of great connections to a multitude of generations of all kinds. When I do get done with this whole series which will be a few years an couple of them still to be released later through out this upcoming year, I don't really know quite yet but I do admit that I know that I have plenty to choose from for sure!
 As to one of the many things I am planning throughout the next few months or even through the year I am planning on cleaning up my tablet that I am currently working these posts from of to much internal storage of my inner computer of a lot of things over the past few years of time. A few months ago when I was at Walmart I had picked up some storage memory cards to do this very task. Here is what I mean in the way of what will be transferred to those.                                                                                                                     







An if it is possible, I will be trying to at the same time seeing if I can transfer some sound clips that I have collected over those amount of years as well. There are some upcoming updates on that online Star Trek Timelines game that I really am deciding on what to post on that over the upcoming next 366 days of this year too. Finally before I leave you all wondering What my main hopes are for twenty, twenty four will be, besides what I have listed so far... I really want your upcoming year to be as encouraging and generous as possible. Now for the last couple of months of twenty,  twenty three I had decided on having my tablet's opening screen when I turned it on each day for that period of time was this seen here                                                                                                                                 
and yes for the life of me, even though I love the incredible hulk as much as I do spider-man from marvel comics I will admit that I can't think of who the very artist is who illustrated this version of the character. When I was at the same time looking at my tablet's main screen was from one of the final episodes of the live action television series  I had this 
                                                                                                      a image of the creature as they reference him mostly in the series and not always as the incredible hulk most times, holding a baseball bat ready to hit the incoming baseball being tossed at him, it's very cool how whoever created this image put the main title of the end theme of each episode as part of the title of the baseball card they created. I had happened to of found both of these on a Facebook The Incredible Hulk television series group. Then at the same amount of months of time on my cell phone I had this image 
   
from the first season of the incredible hulk series and I am betting that most of you maybe able to guess who the woman in the red Gi is? An if not she is in a few months from when " OF GUILT, MODELS AND MURDER" airred had a ongoing role on a little series known as W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati as secretary Jennifer Marlowe. Then when I have been looking at my main screen I have had this     
from the fourth season opener known as  "PROMETHEUS" two parter, where he has the greatest problem since David himself had accidentally dosed himself with gamma radiation... 
At least there is no
Green text like there has been since the end of twenty, twenty three!
