January 16th Deadpool comes to the online shooter, Marvel Rivals. This game is a blast. I wanted to share the animated trailer because it's pretty entertaining.
I love this Homelander vs. The Tick art by Luke Anderson of Sabretooth Prints. My money is on the Tick!
When I was a kid I loved the USA Network cartoon, Savage Dragon. I soon learned that it was the heavily sanitized version of a pretty out there Image comic series. The series pretty out there. It's violent and pornographic at times. That aside it's also a fantastic look at superhero comics and culture. While it's not been monthly, the main series started in 1993 and is still happening. Unlike most comic book universes, there is no sliding timeline. Dragon has aged, had a son, and the son has now taken over as the lead in the series. Of the 299 issues, I only have a few, but I've decided to make collecting them all a challenge. I might not ever complete it, but I think it will be fun to try. I've decided to chronicle my journey on here. Also, I know what "Chasing the Dragon" means but it seamed like a fitting phrase to riff on for this series.
I hope y'all are having a great holiday season. Things are good in the Punverse. Mentally, emotionally, and physically I've doing better than I've been in years. Creatively been lacking a bit. I've decided to get back to what I love and stop overthinking posts (which typically leads to me not posting at all). I think I'm also going to start doing 5e supers posts again. I always enjoy doing them. One change though is I'm going to make sure they are all in D&D 2024 format. I also still plan on doing another DCC Punch a Nazi week. Maybe that's how I'll start out 2026.
Crisis In Infinite Zines #1 is still coming out. Things slowed down because of Dave's day job, but that's not an issue anymore. All of the content is done and has been submitted to Goodman Games for approval. Layout is 98% done. Dave has given the zine comic book dimensions. We'll see how it it looks when he orders test prints.
In other gaming and blogging news I want to give a long overdue shoutout to my friend Tim Knight and his new blog! If you haven't aleady you need to check out Cowboys, Capes, and Claws!
This piece by comic book artist Dan Mora is fantastic. It combines two of my favorite paragons.
I found this while scrolling yesterday. I love GI and just ordered a “GI Robot Was Right” shirt yesterday.
I think it might be time for another Punch A Nazi week. Not sure the exact week I’ll do it but expect another one by the end of the month.
As I said in my last part, despite not posting I've been taking part in the challenge. Here's what I watched since the last post with brief thoughts. I watched 31 movies, 16 of which were new to me.
New to me movies will be in red.
22. Frankenstein (2025) - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is a gorgeous gothic fairytale. I saw it in theater and honestly I don't think a home viewing will do the cinematography justice.
23. Marvel Zombies (2025) - Technically this is a four part series, but I'm counting it. I didn't love everything about it, but it was a good story overall. Honestly, I was surprised by some of the deaths.
24. Bambi: The Reckoning (2025) - This is a part of the Poohniverse/Twisted Childhood Universe. Despite that, I actually enjoyed it. It's actually a heartbreaking movie at times, despite the gory deaths.
25. Strange Harvest (2024) - This one is a mockumentary horror flick about the fictional serial killer, Mr. Shiny. It was interesting and well acted. If you want something a little different, check it out.
26. Trick or Treat (1986) - This one was recommended by some friends. It's goofy 80's metal fun. Featuring cameos from Ozzy and Gene Simmons, this is a must watch for rock fans. This would also b great inspiration for Dark Places & Demogorgons adventure.
27. Werewolves (2024) - This insane flick is basically The Purge with werewolves. Hell it even stars Frank Grillo. I love him and the movie was entertaining, but I think I might be jaded. I was told this one was absolutely bonkers. I'm not saying it's not wild and silly, but I was expecting a little more.
29. Cursed (2005) - Haven't watched this werewolf flick in a while. It's not amazing, but was directed by Wes Craven and features Christina Ricci.
30. Sleepy Hollow (1999) - This is my favorite Tim Burton and gothic flick. The cast are entertaining, the cinematography and music is eerie, and it features three different Sith (Ian McDiarmid, Christopher Lee, and Ray Park).
31. My Name Is Bruce (2007) - If you haven't seen this Bruce Campbell movie and are a fan, do yourself a favor and go watch it on Tubi. It's hilarious, though there are some really bad Asian stereotypes.
