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.
