More goodness in the mail....

Hoping all is well with you,                                                                                                                     I  really do wholeheartedly hope that all of my readers are having a fantastic end to the first month of twenty, twenty two for I have to admit that I certainly am and the reason why is because I am again finding great things in my 

mailbox even after writing about finding in the outside of my front door and even inside one the bigger boxes down below our individual ones from over the past weekend.  If you remember a couple post ago I had shown you just outside my front door this very package         

  seen here, where I had talked also about the book in the darkened corner known as a Transformers novel named "HARDWIRED" that was part one of a trilogy that I had picked up as I was saying during a time of vacation with my parents when we were visiting my sister as well when we were going to the Oregon coast more that like every thing else that I have recently have promised will be posted in time. As to the other package seen under the green package is from All Caps Comics an what is inside of both of these are of course reading material that I am sure that I will appreciate and enjoy.  Let's take a look at these without there coverings shall we?                                                                                                               
 I went and included in my picture of what I am showing you my copy of HARDWIRED novel from when I had seen my sister on this vacation I keep talking about because as you and I can see that the paperback is completely different from the cover of the hardcover copy which happens to have two other parts of the trilogy.  Who happens to have a different writer than part one which is Scott Ciencin, and the second writer of the other two stories is David Cian. Those stories are titled "ANNIHILATION" and "FUSION" respectively and the hardcover art is from FUSION'S trade paperback I am thinking? That was in the green paper with the white writing of thriftbooks Largest online used book store,  the comic is Cyberfrog unfrogettable tales issue 4 which is a reprinted story of Cyberfrog in wonderland with his human friend Heather Swain and another independent character known as Creed who had his own series in the late nineteen nineties and his creator was Trent Kanuga. Ethan Van Sciver also sent me a Christmas trading card with his two creations of Cyberfrog and Rainbow Brute which still hasn't been published yet. Like I said in a couple post ago I will talk about my love and history with the Transformers very soon too!                                                 Again I do hope that you all have a wonderful challenging week ahead with the start of the second month of twenty twenty two called the month of love at times among other things. I just wonder what I will be getting to writing about for tomorrow?

Another What's in the box at the end of a boxing weekend!

Hello yet again everyone,                                                                                                                        Well I am not sure if this will be a such a very long word wise of a entry....but who knows but no matter how you go and spin it this one is a continuous squared edition for the second time this very week. Recall that just a couple of days ago, in the mail   

just outside my front door when I had returned home from work. It  was that I had gone an ordered this on Saturday January fifteenth. An like I said in that entry I  will be having entries be releasing about my love of the original memories of my time with HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE from when  I was growing up! Yet this isn't  the start of that or the overall all review of  that omnibus either, it's about what I had found in my mailbox seen here 

from earlier today when I had gotten home from Adventures Underground and getting this week's comics.                                                                                                                                        I can say that what is in this box is roughly the same size as the one that had the HE-MAN comic omnibus on Thursday came in. Here is what I did happen to get at Adventures today along with what is in my mailbox shown above.                                                       
For what I have from my pulls is Amazing Spider-Man on the upcoming Marvel comics ordering guide for the upcoming month of February which said solicits for April 2022, The Army of Darkness 1979 issue #5 (all covers main and variants), The Amazing Spider-Man vol.5, #87 (and variant), Ice-cream man #28 ( this series is closet to Twilight Zone in comic forum), Gunslinger Spawn # 5, The Invincible Red Sonja #7, Sonjaversal # 10, Star Trek Best of Picard (one shot), Action Comics # 1039 and it's (variant), Decetevice Comics # 1050 and it's variant (Batman main book), D.C. vs Vampires issues #2,3,4 (and their variants) and finally the Danger Girl Twenty years trade of Danger Girl #1 from originally 1998 with art by J Scott Campbell, who is doing covers for a Mary Jane and Black Cat  one shot that I really was hoping to find at Adventures but couldn't! Also another bag for buying whatever now that we need them in every state I am assuming? 
     So what is in that box well it happens to be another Omnibus of sorts...                         this time it is 

  the SHI OMNIBUS VOL. 1 who was created by Comic creator Billy Tucci, in the early 1990's SHI 1 was released in 1994. This Omnibus has the first sixteen chapters of her journey into comics, SHI came out at the time of "Death of Superman" and "Knightfall" for Batman from Decetevice Comics at the time. For Marvel Comics at that time was trying once again to make Spider-Man single by having  The clone saga starts in Web of Spider-Man issue # 117 titled "Power and Responsibility" part 1of 4.                                                               
The clone saga ran from October of 1994 and ended in Peter Parker Spider-Man# 75 in  November of 1996. Still without knowing of SHI so much like I did of Spider-Man I know that I will love reading her beginnings for simply going back to myself being young again! Back then I was simply 22 years of age.

What is in the box?

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                        So earlier tonight when I had gotten home from work I had found this outside of my front door 

and before we even get into what the very title of this very entry is about if you look off to the darkened corner where you can see a paperback book I will be having very soon an post about it. Which it happens to be a Transformers novel which I happened to have gotten when I was on my last vacation this past May with my folks to both the oylimpic peninsula of my own state of Washington and then we went down the Oregon coast, which I will be getting around to posting about too. If you have read anything from this blog before you may know a good lot about my many likes and loves in my everyday evolving life and if not well that's very okay because in one sense you're definitely got a bit of two pieces of whatever it is that is in the insides of the box? It's of course an oversized.                                                                                                                                                      Yet as I was just saying if you have known me by what I post you already know that one thing that I enjoy in the way of love besides hoping to have respected hopefulness for all of humanity even though that does prove to always be a learning curve all of the time of any one person's existence. I love comics in many ways and it's not just because of the continuational growth of all the stories told within each an every single one but also sometimes the incredible illusions to helping telling the stories are equally interesting when you get right down to what exactly experiences wise you have as a reader of what are known as funny books. One big thing about comics of any kind is besides them dealing with entertaining those who read them because the majority of the content will always be able to completely bring one back to your childhood as well.            Speaking of my childhood I will say this I recently refound this set of photographs of my younger brother Michael and I and this one of me Matt with a Tonka 
construction vehicle in my hand flipped on it's side.  I know that when I was this young I remember having things like Light Bright, ( this was a projector of white lights that you placed a black piece of paper that had white dots that outline an image of a scene or characters and you used little colored pegs of different colors to make said design glow. ) I remember having not only Hotwheels  brand of cars from Mattel toys and the one that I was always trying to find and eventually did was a squad 51 car from the Emergency! television series, I also had some Dukes of Hazzard cars from the ERTL toy company in nineteen eighty one, I remember in the way of my actual first action figures were Lone Ranger and his horse Silver and his companion and lndiain friend Tonto and his riding stead called Scout for Christmas time in nineteen eighty one. The name that toy company that made those was Gabrielle Legend. That just happens to be some of the toys that yours truly remembers of owning before the one all mighty toy line hooked me forever to years of loving collecting no matter what it was? That very line was known as Masters of the universe. It was nineteen eighty two when I saw the figures first at Pay N Save on George Washington Way! I have been promising background on this for over a year or close to it.
   Inside this box is a huge trade of HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE comic trade from Decetevice Comics from the years of 2012 through to 2016. An yes I do happen to already have the stories in individual issues and some trades with the exception of the individual issue seen here 
which was originally published in the month of April in nineteen eighty two with a July cover date, as to if this was released with the original first wave of Masters of the universe action figures which consisted of   

 these seen here. HE-MAN, MAN-AT-ARMS, STRATOS, TEELA, are all the heroes in the first wave,  where as each hero needs a given adversities here they are. SKELETOR,  BEAST MAN, MERMAN, ZODAC. Which also includes Battle Ram (mobile launcher), Wind Raider (assault launcher), Battle Cat (Fighting tiger), Castle Grayskull Fortess of mystery and power were sold spereately. I really don't know if I know that given answer the only thing that I knew was that each figure came with a mini comicbook. I am going to have it be both hard and easy of making my detailed history of the history of HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE so that's upcoming in the future...                                                     Just so you know what is inside the box that I have been talking about in this very post here is what the box had in it's contents. 
   I also happen to have a couple more actual omnibuses as well and like this very one I have there content in individual issue formats too and do you really think that you need to ask me what character they are about? Probably not at all is the best answer for certain!

New day and New Year what will it mean for the digits 2022?

 Hello readers everywhere,                                                                                                       Here it is the first day of the year and you are probably wondering what is it will be getting explored here on this very site?, and did I make a new years promise or resolutions of any kind? To be honest I think that with this upcoming year there will as always be many more unknowable things that are going to be happening in both great and interesting outcomes? The very thing that makes every day worth living even if at times if you are feeling lost or uncertain about how your experiences of living and trying to figure out how you can handle existing better is by finding through your own strengths of learning and contributing to staying positive. What I did last night even though I didn't get to officially do it with my brother Michael and his family we went and had some Chinese food for dinner and watched a movie on Netflix called "DON'T LOOK UP!"                                                                   It is a a film about of course the end of life on planet earth, which is kinda ironic... since when I was last working on a topic here and it was the starting of the last month of last year I was trying to do my best to sharing about why we as a species are at lengths trying to gather any kind of strength by simply trying way to hard to benefit no one or at most that was what I was trying to figure out.  Anyway that very film we were watching on Netflix last night was a parody of shorts. Of a lot of the characters were revealing a lot of ourselves in different aspects when we are encounter the unique emotional uncertainty of our lives because of how everyone just reacts to something.  It stars Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo Dicaprio and  Meryl Streep among others. It regardless of whatever you DO Love about a piece of celluloid work does the one thing that we all need right now, makes us all think about something outside of ourselves.                                                      I really do wholeheartedly know that deep down inside of us all we need to always find ways to keep expanding our balances of wanting to explore and learn each and every day.  For however that you know how you're existence starts, we all should be responsible enough to understand that WE ALL NEED TO BE LEARNING every second of each day we are blessed with having!  So you are now asking me what have I got planned for the upcoming year of twenty, twenty two as I stated in the beginning of this post? I will definitely try to focus on getting something out each day as best that I am able to,  rather if it will be a comic book being reviewed or even better and I will admit that I have said it many a times before but I will get around to really laboring on drawing again because more than anything in my soul besides giving us all new content to check out here I know that I NEED to be engaged in being absolutely creative again! Also you can be on the look out for upcoming updates from my online game play of Star Trek Timelines as well regular novels being reviewed of both old and new stuff in that said category.  Overall though I really do hope that this coming new year of 2022 will bring you and myself great times and great memories of our hopes being better than whatever the world is throwing down to knock us off our feet in the way of fears.  Again I have to say that I want to welcome and wish you all a wonderful great entrance into your newest year and day.     And since I haven't got a debriefing of my blog on the plate or my tablet backgrounds or anything from my phone of late  I will leave you with this Happy New Year from the 


 star force crew!

Let's have a true brain attack of thoughtfulness!


   Hello everyone who loves puzzles,                                                                                                         How are you all doing on this first day of last month of the year going?, For me I am thinking that NO MATTER what that it will be a simple yet exciting one because as I have told you my readers that besides there being Christmas on the twenty fifth of the month, it is also the most one for me anyways filled with a whole bunch of birthdays as well of both many friends and especially a lot of family members too! I do want to say a very great Happy Birthday to all of them today of the friends most of all because you also matter just as much as family does but writing to and about family is a completely EXCITING bit time for me to reflect on the times and memories that I have spent with you over your years of a lifetime that YOU get my loving attention. Another thing that will be coming up for me besides those given birthdays is that I will be "Leaving on a  Jet airplane" as the song says by John Denver as the song writer originator to visiting my mother and step dad in Tucson, Arizona from the fourth to the seventh of this month.              One thing that I may explain some time over this month, is why when December comes around for myself why I choose to always apply the Reds,Yellows, Golds, and of course the many variations on the color of growth known as Greens, and it's more than just about the meaning of the seasons.  Speaking of seasonal or bi or even quarterly timing of the blog itself by the end of this very venturous entry I will remember to show off what it is that I have had as my phone wallpaper from since this July along with what I've had mirroring itself since then as well with Skeletor instead of HE-MAN from my tablet which I happened to be writing this on!                                                                                    So why is it and why did I come up with "Brain Teasers that keep you young and smart!", have I shared this in my writings in this blog,  I think that I may have at one time or another through the years since I went an created it or described it? Or maybe I will admit to perhaps I also never have communicated it's fullest matter of meaning and at the very same time it's always great to have a reminder of keeping everyone on a uplifting desire of being richer than ever having the most money over someone else. After I've also talked about the word called W.O.K.E. I will give us the opportunity to keeping our brains busy fighting for a positive understanding of why WE ALL NEED TO BE Strong during our every day living existence. Finally before we get to the heart of this very topic it also relates to my review of Superman Son of Kal-el # five, in response to give you my answers to some of said questions, that I posted in that one.                                    As we all know that the word WOKE is the past tense of rising from one's bit of rest or nap of re-energizing after resting/sleeping. This happens to be the one no let me capitalize that, IT IS THE ONLY ONE meaning of woke that I will appreciate and understand according to any definition of the word, but we aren't here to talk about general minded meaningfulness.... We are here to have a conversation about seriously the demoralizing world we are residing on NOW! Now don't get me wrong with what I am about to say here but don't worry it will be best for you in the end of reading this to make your own minds up of your choosing?  I am only going to say that for my way of looking at all sides of government as a whole right now I am seeing that both sides are deeply wrong of helping the common people!                                                                                      The whole world has always been in a flow of trouble since time began from which is always essentially changing every second of everyday, and even when we think about giving ourselves a challenge of building anything better for us all as a species we know deep down inside of ourselves we're only one person. In living our lives no matter how little or long they are meant to be we have to know we are loved by our families and mostly hopefully our friends that we make in our journey of experiences throughout our existence. So why is it that every time we are given a choice to make our little Blue and Green planet a lot better than it was yesterday by being kind to each other we all are feeling of late this obsession to (Willingly/wanting. Only to/obsessed to. Killing/ knowingly. Everything/everyone) yes there is my acronym for the way the whole planet is acting in one form or other,  I  know that it's mostly from media of all types from as easily what is shown in any newspapers and yes even here on the internet. Here is the real question for us all to understand and consider over the many meaningful ways of looking at a word an analysis of it's content of meanings right now. Why are We Willingly trying to force FEAR and HATRED as our Only concerns toward defining who we all are? I would like to give you all my thoughts on how we can truly understand how we can get to a specific ideal answer for pulling us out of this chaotic time we are facing right now.  Be able to above everything else going on in today's world give yourselves time to consider being patient with your problems and use your calmness from rationalizing that you reach to making every day decisions be your guidance of dealing with whatever people you don't know be your pillar that you stand on, by this what I am saying is we can all still have great conversations with each other over how we are feeling or dealing with the problematic stuff that may or maybe not affecting us. Let's stop using impactment stuff of "WHICH WE STILL KNOW HARDY ANYTHING ABOUT" yes I am talking about the cause of the worldwide pandemic called Covid-19, and yes we need to certainly be careful whenever there is something that we're dealing with and don't fully understand it's effectiveness on our bodies,  but we have to be strongly conscious of personal protection during our dealing with all of our every day unknow ables of things that happen to us as a species. Yet let me ask you something since the pandemic is here, is it right for us to be saying or doing things like breaking the law by causing riots and looting of public or private places, the answer is one hundred percent NO! Still besides all of those things going on, why is it that everyone thinks that you have to be the only one who is right on always tearing down any form of established literature like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer by Samuel Clemens who used the pen name Mark Twain. When he was writing and changing the two young boys adventures of growing in friendships with each other through fishing and tracking and bonding in their teens to make them be only wanting them to be sexual preference towards each other?, in NO WAY would a writer/creative of that century write of young children programming experiences, ever right! What would you think about your own children being taught to hate their classmates because of the color of their skin? Right now I am not very happy for us as a species... for one way or another through our freaking frustrations of negativity we're all using the bad side of pride to get our own expressions pulled into the limelight of being important. "HERE'S MY FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER AND EFFECTIVELY GIVE YOUR BEST ANSWERS TO.... WHY DO WE NEED TO BE SO POLARIZING ABOUT DESTROYING OUR EXISTENCE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY PATIENCE ANYMORE?"                                               So sorry for my reasoning rant there on why the world is a completely messed up right now, but I felt that I really had to express it more with my hopefulness and positive talking about it with words instead of being a true foolish person and doing it through very stupid actions when they seem to be inactive when trying to figuring out a debatable conversation right now. The way of having any topics being discussed to be resolved is to allow for a moment of remembering from our childhood of giving people a chance to hear by listening to hopefully connectivity have a sharing of ideas...  and also a sharing of being thankful for our mistakes if we make them too. ESSENTIALLY what the meaning of being woke is wanting to push forwardly only a way to that leads outwardly to single meaningfulness of consciousness of us as humans are trapped by needing to have control over others by FORCE if necessary or by the way of governments mandating we have no freedoms overall? Why does everything at the end of each day feel like we have gone through a mine field and we are just avoiding being dragged into a constant new weapon field each other time we go out every single day? I know that I have said it many times throughout this very post to be able to completely understand what is causing our problems we have to realize that it is each of us as the person we are has to vastly find our  patience levels in understanding of living life by not being so in each other's mindset of oh I have to truly believe that I am right, forgiveness in liking and respecting one of the many ways we can get through this stressful season of our existence for now. Oh an anyone who wants a real agenda that will work in all aspects of honestly try listening as well when you're with your family and friends who knows maybe all we need is to allow for another famous brain teaser to get us and the planet back to some sense of normalcy.  And while it may take you a moment to figure where it is here's what I am getting at we all understand deep down we know that somewhere we all need to Helping. Others. People. Everywhere. Hey I did end up getting to a very structural ending didn't I here.                                                                                                                                                     After all of that great discussion on getting through wokeness without making any necessary needs of you leaving I honestly hope that I didn't tread on your day as a person but, that you might have some following thoughts on helping others because you really do have the potential power to make sure the world is a far more fair place when comes understanding something so simple. If you haven't thought of it before maybe it's worth sharing than being all over the place being just about yourselves. Speaking of power though I know that I haven't gone an entirely forgotten also about what's to be included here before signing off so here we go! Here's what's on my tablet when I have been opening it up since July of this past year 

, it happens to as you can see the main heroes of Man at Arms known as Duncan in the 1980's cartoon series for interllectulect smarts, the sorcerer of castle Greyskull whom is known as Teel-Na before she is the protective magic keeper of said fortress, then there is her daughter behind the hero holding his sword of power and her name is Teela she is the trainer of the hero when he is in his civilian self known as Prince Adam. But is also known on Enetria as HE-MAN and along side him is his trusted animal pal Battle Cat who hid in plain slight as the frighten Cringer and all them faced off against the  Green skull faced leader of all evildoers on the planet his name is Skeletor. Then after opening my tablet I was able to be treating myself to the likes of this 
like I have been saying here's Skeletor in front of a mirror while inside Castle Greyskull and trying to calim it for himself. Then I on my phone image when I opened it up it had the box art of all of the heroic Masters fighting together just to get into the great 

power in all of Enetria. On my phone however I didn't have the whole image I wanted to of course but the photo was centered on Skeletor in the maw of the lower jaw. After all those many months of this plate of Skeletor holding He-Man' s sword of power seen here 
 will I be getting around to checking out about  changing the balance of it as well? Without any doubt alboustulely it is what I always do for when I am about updating this specific part of the blog as to what will it be? You  like me will have to see after I have posted this very one. Will be seeing you about town and hoping that everyone is doing well for the upcoming holidays as well. - Bye for now!

My true thoughts of "SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL # 5"

Hello comic fans and lovers of humbling reads,                                                                                   I just want to say here on my on blog that I've tried to get many people into reading more and more as best that I know how to, besides watching television and movies or even playing games rather video or card ones or even traditional ones like tag or football or baseball it seems that we cannot be able to completely challenge ourselves because of how everyone rather of late wants to place us in a state of uncertainties.  We all as people should be no matter what be trying our every day best of living our lives by not letting the outside world become our only hope to be experiencing existence... okay I sort of had to be open on my feelings about how the whole planet is acting haywire and in no matter what I do I know that you my readers have your own views of what way your life experiences take you in and hey that's great,  just promise me as much as possible that you are dealing with this world wide pandemic called Covid-19 the best way of an answer is for you.  This past Wednesday was New comic book day and besides dealing with the issue of Jonathan Kent's latest issue here's.           


 what I also got! An yes later on over this weekend I will admit be reviewing those others seen alongside SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL number five.                                                                  Now before we get into this very issue I am almost certain that everyone who is a comic fan or not has heard from either through the  news or the internet that the world's oldest comic super hero called Superman is now defined by his sexual identity/sexual preference, rather than by his definition of he is helping everyone with his choices of being a honorable hero. In fact Superman wasn't the first Decetevice Comics super hero to be dealt this very demeanor of being defined this way in fact it was one of Batman's many known Robin's who they made be the first hero to be reaching for very impossible idea of referenced by this unhealthy strategy of story telling of what is the meaning of being a hero... It's not Dick Grayson the original Robin that was treated to this very revealing push of identity go to, nor was but it could have been better understood coming from Jason Todd's version of Robin who now goes by the identity of the Red Hood. No the one who was reduced to benefit from this weak stomach telling point is the third major Robin who took on the mantle of "The Boy Wonder" that's the monkier of the character. It has also been put out there that Decetevice is gonna make Aquaman current iteration will be showing this dumbed down arc as well as Wonder Woman's current lore too.                        Your asking me along with yourselves why the heck is Decetevice Comics doing this with their characters of making them essentially WOKE ( I will very soon have a positive definition of the continuational culture use of this very word, I promise!),  As to the reasoning of why Decetevice Comics is doing this with well established comic characters is not just because they are telling us that we are outdated with excitement and fantasy elements of what made these characters great like a mystery in space battles gets new villains or a villain whose wanting to dump the hero in search of their identities by knocking them out so hard that they have amnesia till hero can find saintly again.  Those are just two examples of great stuff that should be in a monthly comic along with always great art. The one thing that I keep thinking of  most of all is why isn't there at least a bit of Frederic Wertham a psychiatrist whom thoughts of Violence,  Crimes, and of course the topic of Sexual Permissiveness  shouldn't be shown or spoken of in literature being sold to children. I  know that both Decetevice Comics and Marvel comics had decided back in early two thousand that they didn't have need for what was known as the Comic Code Authority which meant that everyone who was involved with comics had to abide by set rules.                                                                                                                                                    With the way things are right now in the world I know that making monetary gains in money is always essential for certain,  but to have comics being destroyed by creators who only want to push their influences on the youth of the world is just beyond sickness of anything.  Are parents wanting their children to be promoted to not having a huge humbleness towards tolerance of every kind and make the best sense of getting choices out life? Or do parents wanting the governments as they are right now saying your own minds of your offspring are ours to control? I meant to include those two questions in this entry not for my given take on political matters as I see them, but to let it be known that a certain comic writer Tom Taylor seems to be pushing his view point of plotical movtaitions in the current issue of Superman Son of Kal-el.                                                              When I was getting this very issue this past Wednesday I had over heard two people talking about the very issue I had within my hands. They were saying that hopefully and honestly that what they are doing with Clark Kent and Lois Lane's son will be making way for better progression of stories for their son Jon Kent and I could only hope for that in many ways they the customer and cashier were/are very much right in their opinion of greater detail within maintaining a safe environment for a new look for the character of Jon who when was last seen before this set of stories was a six year old kid hanging out with Bruce Wayne's son Damian Wayne as Robin in a series that was known as "Super Sons", that ran from (2017-2021) in which Jon was only ten years of age when they were taking place. Right now Clark Kent has his hands full, of trying to bring peace to a world known as Warworld in Superman Action Comics #1036. Which I will be getting a review out for that too very soon.                                                                                                                            Jon Kent has been trying to prove his point of being his own version of Superman since July of this year 2021 with a whole new motto so that you the reader can know that he is your Superman! That motto is this " Truth,  Justice and A Better World" which was revealed in the pervious issue # 4. As to why his is definitely different from Clark's I will have a spereate entry about that soon, boy it seems that I really do have a lot to get posting about but don't worry it will show up.                                                                                    Review time is now:  creative  teams:Written by Tom Taylor, Art HI-FI by John Timms, Letters by Dave Sharpe, First print cover by John Timm, Inhyuk Lee,Travis Moore and Tamra Bonvillain Variant Covers Jillian Grant and Diego López,  Assistant Editor Diego López, Editor Mike Cotton, Editor in chief Marie Javins SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL 5, January 2022. This title of this story is "WHO'S GOT YOU?"                                                                Jon is trying to figure out why his brain is on overload, while he is without knowing why or how this is at all possibly happening to him. He is definitely trying to help those who are facing dangerous situations, such as in Africa in Zambezi where he stops gunmen in a hummer from hurting three citizens. Jon helps out in a flooded town in Luxembourg, Australia of saving a trapped man in his own vehicle. Then he happens to be wearing a mask when he helps out in Metropolis (which is New York in the real world) 
 and yet in a whole other American city Central City, (which is Missouri in the real world) and he doesn't wear a mask. Central City by the way is where the Decetevice Comics comic character The Flash resides in case, you were wondering if
 that city has a hero which in this story is Wally West not Barry Allen who is the main one most comic fans know as the fastest man alive. While in Metropolis Jon brings a whole bridge to local hospital (was about the only thing that proved a  tiny bit of hope for me that was really Superman related to me.) Then while flying around he finds winged man named Aerie, who says Jay is in need of help as well.                                                                       Jay Nakamura, first appeared in issue #2 of this series and was calling himself "The Truth" when he had first met Jon Kent while as Superman he was trying to stop a school shooting at one of the many colleges in Metropolis. He has agreed to help Superman in fighting crimes if only Superman tells him who Superman's ordinary is? When Superman finds Jay in this issue he is sitting on the edge of his fire escape ledge and reveals that he could potentially be more than a regular human being. After he has help Superman finally stop focusing on doing what he should be this happens...                                       
              

What are you or I who are reading this suppose to think of first and foremost? Especially when they the editors definitely DON'T put any caption boxes with any text of any kind! Is this Superman defined by his sexual preference of being dare I say it GAY? Whatever the case is it's not immediately explained, in fact this Superman proves how uncomfortable he is as a hero by telling Jay he will love helping him take down the president who was trying to hurt Jay and a few other college age kids from issue two's big highlight. The president happens to be named Henry Bendix an has a closer connection to Jay than we the reader might think about. Before that is even dealt with Superman is seen taking to the air to get that bridge from earlier in this story and plans to put it back where it property belongs... TO BE CONTINUED! 
 There is so much to unpack about this very issue of the Superman that is our generation's depiction of the classic iconic take of a not just Alien/Human, American, World-wide that matter. I also remember that I told you about how this feels very much like the Superman III movie that stared Richard Pryor to me needs to be let out too. First and foremost the biggest thing that I have to admit to is that even though I know about Decetevice Comics and their characters, I don't follow those stories as much as I do with the company known as Marvel or Image comics,  or certain properties that I love like Star Trek or Transformers. Also I love to follow certain comic artists too, because they are always making the best efforts to getting better as a creator on their creative skills with scripting with each new book they put on the press. IS IT EVER OK FOR A PEICE OF ENTERTAINMENT TO FORCE US / YOU/ME TO DEMAND WE LIKE OR LOVE IT? THE ONLY ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS ALBOUSTULELY A CAPTIALABLE "NO!"                              Superman when he was first created way back in the late nineteen thirties, it was yes about two young men who were at the time living in Cleveland, Ohio that were attending the same high school their names were Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster. And after working with National Allied Publications for a few years of time they had refined the character after a short novella Siegel wrote known as " THE REGIN OF THE SUPERMEN" a few years earlier in nineteen thirty three with Shuster providing the illusions of said story. In April of nineteen thirty eight they had sold their idea of Superman to National Allied Publications for both of them having no actual rights to keep the control of the creativeness of the infrastructure of the intellectual property without in the future earnings be given to their families even after their lifetime is ended, they sold the character trademark is what I am getting at for one hundred and thirty dollars and died without any residues to cover their own funerals. ALSO I AM CERTAIN THAT IF THEY WERE ALIVE THEY WOULD DEMAND FOR THIS VERSION OF THEIR CHARACTER TO FLUSHED DOWN THE BEST FLYING SPACE TOILET AROUND. For THEY WOULD HONESTLY LOVE to see Superman grow and have offspring that do what Clark Kent or Kal-el would do bridge hope wherever his offspring are when they are spereated from their father. Joe and Jerry would be bringing up what Frederick Wertham was saying about children being extremely exposed to sexual permissiveness which some how would include the hero structure is based on his or her own existence of what gender of who they have deep feelings for and without any doubt in the general mind of most people the would say and directly close down Decetevice Comics.                                                Now as to how would you ask yourself how would this in any way whatsoever relate to the third Superman movie from the Christopher Reeves story of the character? Well when Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor's) character in the movie was sent to finishing off Superman he didn't know what was in the one thing in parts of Kryptonite that would weaken the man of steel. So Gus decided to make up for the unknowable element by looking at his cigarette packaging and put TAR inside what he thought would be Kryptonite?  When he gives it to Superman he only holds it with nothing happening to him or so it seems... Superman thanks him not knowing what he will be experiencing very soon. We see that the result of TAR filled Kryptonite has a particular impact of making an alien/human turn into the darkness and do corrupt stuff that they don't normally want to do. I will someday do a set of reviews for the Christopher Reeves Superman films too. As to what I give grade wise to Superman Son of Kal-el # 5... is simply this an senseless F minus!

Three more days to....

Hello comic collectors and those needing to just have a good read for Halloween afternoon,                                                                                                                                                     So what is it on my mind to be talking about when kids or even adults with childlike hearts are getting ready for a night of scary fun and rewarding of treats known as candy,  it just happens to be of course about an notice of an upcoming end to a undergroud comic that is about a set of humans who uses clone like monster exo-suits known as REXES. This is a comic project by former Decetevice Comics comic artist Shane Davis and his wife Yanzi Lin. They are calling the comic Inglorious Rex, it is a completely crowd funded project through their community known as Comicsgate,  which made up of comic creators who are no longer part of the mainstream publishers called Marvel or D.C. and even Image as well or there parent company owners Disney for Marvel and A.T&T for Detective Comics as to who really owns Image comics are comic artists Todd McFarlane who with six others left the big two companies when Marvel was owned by New World production, in the late nineteen seventies to early nineteen ninety.                                                 I happen to have an upcoming in the past posts on here, about Shane and Yanzi's first project through Comicsgate named Starlight Cats for a review. I went an backed Inglorious Rex on it's opening day of when the campaign started on September 4th twenty, twenty one and got this special 24hrs cover seen here 

 along with the main book and a supplemental book with a whole other copy of the twenty-four hr cover.  When it's launched on his friend Ethan Van Sciver YouTube channel called AllCapsComics, which was the day after his birthday. Shane's biggest way of a competition was from another Comicsgate artist who had a new passion project called "GODLIKE", which is a mix of very early nineteen eighties cartoons meets Star Wars from the late nineteen seventies with a mix of comic creator Jack Kirby's Fourth  World comic project for Detective Comics in  the same time frame of when Star Wars first was released with only that as it's title. An that artist is named Jon Malin who runs his comic book projects for exactly one given time which is mostly a month from when he opens it. Shane and Yanzi's really only had a few weeks of truthfulness of real fighting with Jon's project because his start  date for his campaign was from July 31st,  for me on the West Coast and oofficially on August 1st 2021on East Coast time, and yes I backed that comic project at least two times. Here's what the top perk/tear of Godlike looks like     
which  was at $200.00 and included everything seen here it also had a trading card add on as well, Godlike ended it's  funding on the first of this month of October with a total amount of $258,803.                                                                                                                                     As to where Inglorious Rex will be ending up is up to you or yet even me for the fifth time.  Here  is what  I have backed in said campaign besides what I have mentioned so far from earlier in this very post I have backed at the top perk/tear which is seen here 
, with this bundle or perk I will be getting a copy of Inglorious Rex, it's supplemental book of the back histories of each fighter from the main character known as Alex Stone and the one featured on the twenty four hour cover Anntaomic have more of their back stories along with maybe a Rex's possible historical first mission or something. Then a second print of Starlight Cats by Comicsgate artist Kellsey Shannon,  and a five by seven bistrol  board of the main characters of Alex, Anntaomic or Rex 232 I have chosen Anntaomic for my sketch, and a Inglorious Rex exercising workout tee shirt. My third time backing I got the two pack of alternate covers for the main book with no logos on the art seen here 
, which comes with trading cards of those very covers of which Jon Malin did one and Comicsgate artist Kenneth Rocafort and Oars life T-shirt. My fourth time backing this project I went an got another set of the two pack variants along with a baseball cap that is Black and Grey in it's color scheme. Form what I know about this comic it's a little of Rocky lV and street fighter the video game from the late nineteen eighties on game systems like Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles, with monsters thrown in for a twist.                                                                                                            If you want to try out an alternative to Marvel or Detective Comics for a comic book experience I would suggest you go to Indiegogo and give it a try,  who knows maybe you can honestly find it fascinating of being known as helping any project there not just comics  either? Maybe I might go see if I want to back it one more time in fact.  Still I really do hope that all of my readers have an awesome Halloween night rather if you are a kid or a kid at heart and help hand out treats whatever they maybe? HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL AND BE SURE THAT YOU ARE SAFE AS WELL!
